Yes, that's right the founders of the video game industry are 40 today!
The company was set-up way back in 1972 by Nolan Bushnell and Teb Dabney and went on to create Pong before developing the amazingly successful Atari 2600 VCS.
Ted himself and the programmer Howard Scott Warshaw, who developed such hits as Yars Revenge, are set to speak at this years midwest gaming classic!
