Interview with Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell about uWink and more

Jul 22 2007, 5:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

We got the opportunity to interview a video game legend at the Casual Gaming Conference in Seattle last week (site, video). Mr. Nolan Bushnell founded Atari and is inducted in the Video Game Hall of Fame and the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame.

Mr. Bushnell talks about his latest venture uWink, an interactive gaming restaurant with touch screen tables. He also talks about his take on the gaming industry and playing the Nintendo Wii.

Watch the Video Interview.

About uWink:
uWink provides delicious modern comfort food made with fresh ingredients ordered via touch screen terminals at the table and served by runners, quickly and accurately.
uWink's at-the-table-entertainment includes a large variety of games, table-to-table interaction, "edutainment", videos and more. The dynamic projected interior provides diners with scrumptious i-candy and a hip, ever-changing environment.
The first uWink restaurant is in Woodland Hills, CA. More locations are supposed to still open this year.
