Engineer Gerald “Jerry” Lawson was marked by the American giant Google with his scribble for one of the greatest achievements in the video game industry: the creation of cartridges.
The best thing about doodle is not only the image, but the mini-game that comes with it: it even lets you edit scripts and create your own.
Jerry Lawson career
Lawson was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, USA. His family always encouraged him to follow the path of technology, but it was not easy for him: he was discriminated against because of his “skin color”.
It never stopped him. Self-taught since childhood, he fixed radios and televisions to make the jump to engineering.
In California, Lawson joined Fairchild Semiconductor as a technical consultant. A few years later, he was promoted to director of engineering and marketing for Fairchild’s video game division. This is where I go down in history.
On its 82nd anniversary, Lawson is remembered for developing the Fairchild Channel F system, the first ever console to feature interchangeable game cartridges. Without this breakthrough, there would be no such consoles as Atari, SNES and Dreamcast.
The engineer later founded VideoSoft, a company of African origin. There he created software for the Atari 2600, one of the most memorable devices in history.
In 2011, he received his first award from the International Game Developers Association (IGDA). A month later, he died of diabetes at the age of 70.
“Due to the downturn in the video game market, our father’s story has become a footnote in video game history. However, in recent years, there have been many awards, scholarships, and the media that have recognized this. Our family is forever grateful to those who have worked tirelessly to bring his story to the public,” said the children of the laureate.

Google prepared a set of levels that can be edited by the user himself. Are you being chased by monsters? Block their way. Are you falling into an abyss? Add a floor block.
