Many of you say New Hampshire is a crappy state. Some of you say it is the worst state ever. And still others think New Hampshire is located in Canada. Well today, my friends, I learned something about New Hampshire. It made me proud to be a born and raised native of this land. Today I read that the man who invented video games is from New Hampshire. Yes, thats right New Hampshire is good for something. The first pong game and light gun originated from Sanders, not too far from where I am typing this today. I am honored now to live in this state and I think all you should be too. The man now 79 years old still lives in our beloved state today, although he vacations in his Florida home. He is the creator of the first TV pong game called "The Odyssey" He took the patent to Sanders where they built the very first prototype and then began marketing. Soon Atari stole his idea and many law suits followed, which increased business for The Odyssey. I am truly proud to be a New Hampshiren now.
