E 'dead' father 'of fitness video games

We learn from a pioneer who died in Kotaku these days Jack LaLanne, born in 1914 and the first man involved in a video game based on fitness. Long before the Nintendo Balance Board presented to the astonished international audience, someone else had thought about the possibility of combining the structure of the fitness video game.

The result in 1979 with Jack LaLanne's Physical Conditioning for Intellivision. The game, released on cassette, also contained an audio commentary recorded by the same LaLanne illustrating the various phases of the exercises to be performed. Source: Kotaku
