I always loved both 'Breakout' and 'Asteroids' - I thought they were really good games. There was another game called 'Tempest' that I thought was really cool, and it represented a really hard technology. It's probably one of the only colour-vector screens that was used in the computer graphics field at that time.

I'm the only one who was predicting the Nintendo Wii would beat Sony's PlayStation 3.

I don't think people understand how much hard work innovation is. That it's not just getting an idea. You really have to cross your T's and dot your I's long before you ever start on the project. I don't think people perceive that about me. I work hard.

'Grand Theft Auto', in its deification of antisocial behavior, is where I heap the most of my scorn.

Radical innovation is difficult to fund. It seems scary. And the really radical things seem even more scary.

If you don't hire at least one or two people that are smarter than you are, then you're a terrible manager and I don't need you.

I founded Atari in my garage in Santa Clara while at Stanford. When I was in school, I took a lot of business classes. I was really fascinated by economics. You end up having to be a marketeer, finance maven and a little bit of a technologist in order to get a business going.
