We take it for granted today, but back in it's time the pause feature was a game changer in the video game industry. Learn more about its history and its creator Jerry Lawson in the video below:

Can you imagine how video games would be if the pause or save features didn't exist?

Jerry Lawson really needs some more love for his contributions to gaming don't you think?
