There have been books published on Lance Barr’s place in the rise of the video game industry such as Game Over: How Nintendo Conquered the World as well as his recent participation in the highly regarded Netflix documentary High Score, which details the rise of the video game industry and details Barr’s impact on the success of Nintendo’s first video game console released in the US after the Video Game Crash of 1983.
If you have any interest at all on how Nintendo managed to revive a nearly dead video game industry in the US after the industry was all but declared dead, both are solid starting points.
As of today, Lance Barr is no longer actively workling at Nintendo or even in the industry, changing his status on his LinkedIn page to Retired and remarking that he looks forward to new projects outside of video game hardware design.
