Magnavox Odyssey
"There had to be a first and the Magnavox Odyssey paved the way for all future console releases. The device was a massive deal, as it brought video gaming into the home for the first time. While it ironically came packaged with a board game, it would still be a huge step forward. -

Shigeru Miyamoto
"It wasn't a difficult selection. Nobody in the videogame arena has proven as innovative and irrefutably influential as Nintendo's legendary game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto. He earns our top pick because he has successfully created pioneering, industry-shaping videogames and hardware for nearly three decades. His contributions have been blatantly copied by competitors just as much as they've been applauded by players around the world." -
