More quotes by Nolan Bushnell
The truth is just an excuse for lack of imagination.
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
The best ideas lose their owners and take on lives of their own.
Nolan Bushnell
I appreciate the fact that technology and games are a big part of life.
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
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
People hate to and will not read instructions.
Nolan Bushnell
Today, companies have to radically revolutionize themselves every few years just to stay relevant. That's because technology and the Internet have transformed the business landscape forever. The fast-paced digital age has accelerated the need for companies to become agile.
Nolan Bushnell
People like secrets. Creative people really like secrets.
Nolan Bushnell
I've always been a tech-head.
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.
Nolan Bushnell
When it kind of went to 'Street Fighter', where you had to push 13 buttons with all 13 of your fingers and ripped the spine out of somebody, you know, violent games lost the women. Complexity lost the casual gamer.
Nolan Bushnell
Everyone who's ever taken a shower has an idea. It's the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference.
Nolan Bushnell
In 1989, SimCity introduced an entirely new brand of game play.
Nolan Bushnell
All schools will end up using game metrics in the future.
Nolan Bushnell
Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, these were all considered toys at their introduction because they had no constituency. They were too new.
Nolan Bushnell
Hire for passion and intensity there is training for everything else.
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
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.
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.
