Here's an interview with one of the founders of the videogame industry you don't here much from--Ted Dabney.

Yes, this podcast is really 8 hours long, but the interview just runs from 95:08 to 205:14.
There seems to be some bad blood between Ted and Nolan Bushnell now, with Ted saying Nolan's taking credit for some things he didn't actually do, and that Nolan really wasn't a very good engineer. Also, get Ted's take on why he left the industry. It's an interesting listen, and I definitely learned some new tidbits about the history of Atari.
