More quotes by Nolan Bushnell
If you really want you people to innovate, buy a science fiction book, tear off the covers, and tell them it's history.
Nolan Bushnell
Some of the best projects to ever come out of Atari or Chuck E. Cheese's were from high school dropouts, college dropouts. One guy had been in jail.
Nolan Bushnell
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.
Nolan Bushnell
I appreciate the fact that technology and games are a big part of life.
Nolan Bushnell
A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
Nolan Bushnell
My sweet spot is figuring out how to make a product that people love and how to refine it to make them love it more. All the rest is business noise.

You wanna build your IQ higher in the next two years? Be uncomfortable. That means, learn something where you have a beginner's mind.
Nolan Bushnell
I guess I'd like to be known for being an innovator, fostering creativity, thinking outside the box. You know, keeping people playful.

The ultimate inspiration is the deadline.
Nolan Bushnell
In 1989, SimCity introduced an entirely new brand of game play.
Nolan Bushnell
Creativity is every company's first driver. It's where everything starts, where energy and forward motion originate. Without that first charge of creativity, nothing else can take place.
Nolan Bushnell
Any business that does not innovate will fail over time.
Nolan Bushnell
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.

If you're willing to work harder than anybody else, you can create your own luck
Nolan Bushnell
I've always been a tech-head.
Nolan Bushnell
I like games where you can use stealth and guile. As you get older, it's like the difference between playing squash and racketball. Squash is an older man's game, because if you're stealthy and wily, you can beat a better-co-ordinated and stronger, younger person.
Nolan Bushnell
All schools will end up using game metrics in the future.
Nolan Bushnell
People hate to and will not read instructions.
Nolan Bushnell
I'm glad to see the casual game play coming back now on the Internet, games that aren't violent, that aren't complex that you can sit down and you can have some fun.
Nolan Bushnell
We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.
