This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

Wait. I have labels for “gore” and “dangerous or disturbing media” on my account - because I’ve posted… a list of films - and a meme featuring Mola Ram?
That seems… like a massive over-reaction.
