Jerry Changed the Game!: How Engineer Jerry Lawson Revolutionized Video Games Forever

Don Tate, illustrated by Cherise Harris

This biography follows Jerry Lawson, a childhood tinkerer who enjoyed springs, sprockets, and other gadgets. As an adult engineer in the 1970s, he applied his technical knowledge to video games. At the time, getting a new game meant buying another console, so Lawson worked to change that costly system while facing obstacles. The account presents these setbacks as part of his continuing effort.
