Well, where do I start? Do you see all the little moving boxes? if you do- don't worry you're not imagining them, they are there. And if you feel dizzy, LOOK AWAY FROM THE MONITOR! Those are pixels. What's a pixel you ask? Well The term "pixel" is actually short for "Picture Element." These small little dots are what make up the images on TVs, computer displays, and video game monitors. The screen is divided up into a matrix of thousands or even millions of pixels. My name is P.I.X.L. not to be confused with a pixel (which is what I am) My name is an acronym for Personal Intelligent eXamining Logic I put this "scrapbook" of my carrier to answer some of the questions Ray and Bonnie get everyday asking
I come from a place called Pixel World. Its allot like your world, except everyone and everything is square. We have been helping your world see all the wonderful things you see on your TVs and video games for a long time now! I was a young rookie when video games were invented and hired for the first video game, Pong. |
My first
job was in the game Pong- I was the ball. |
Here's a
close up of me at work! |
Here's a
picture circa 1974 of me and Nolan Bushnell showing the new Pong home
game! |
Next game
for me was Breakout in 1975... |
...And I
was the ball AGAIN! (talk about typecasting!) |

This is a
few of the magazines I was featured in during the 1980's! |
Then, it
happened- The great video game crash of 1984! Everyone lost jobs that
year. But what happened next even shocked me! |
But, I had to agree, someone from the past had to be there when the people wanted classic arcade game fun back into their lives once again. So I accepted the task of living inside a broken Pong machine until the moment then a person who possessed the skill and knowledge of the arcade to come along and fix the game and allow me to exist in the real world once again!
