More quotes by Nolan Bushnell
I'd love to design a school.
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've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example.
Nolan Bushnell
In 1989, SimCity introduced an entirely new brand of game play.
Nolan Bushnell
I'm a big believer in the Wii. I love the physicality of the Wii controller, and how you can get the feeling of throwing a bowling ball or swinging a golf club. Those are the kinds of games I really like.
Nolan Bushnell
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
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.

Walk to work, even if it's four miles. Ride a bike to work. Drive a different way. On your way there, try to find beauty. You'd be surprised how much more of the neighborhood you can perceive and experience when you're looking for unique spots of beauty.
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
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
People like secrets. Creative people really like secrets.
Nolan Bushnell
I think 'Something Ventured' is a nice piece because it celebrates venture capital in a unique and powerful way.
Nolan Bushnell
When you're building something, you know all of the trade-offs.
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.
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
The best ideas lose their owners and take on lives of their own.
Nolan Bushnell
The subtle generational cues that make one thing cool and another uncool aren't always obvious to a parent. My children are my dinner-table sounding board. I've come up with some wonderful ideas that they universally dismissed as 'lame.'
Nolan Bushnell
In the early days of the video game business, everybody played. The question is, what happened? My theory - and I think it's pretty well borne out - is that in the '80s, games got gory, and that lost the women. And then they got complex, and that lost the casual gamer.

We're moving away from a credentialed society to a merit society.

I've always been a tech-head.
