This is the first in a special series of podcasts, entitled « A Pact for the Future » on the margins of the Summit of the Future in New York . Tune in to our podcast with Henk Rogers in the following 3 segments : 1) computers 2) his four missions 3) solving climate change Biography of Henk Rogers : Henk Brouwer Rogers is a Dutch-born entrepreneur and clean- energy visionary who has dedicated the past decade of his life to ending the use of carbon-based fuels. As the principal and visionary philanthropist of Blue Planet Foundation, Rogers' efforts led to Hawaii becoming the first state in the nation with a law requiring that 100% of the state's electricity come from renewable sources by 2045. More than 20 U. S. states and territories have since followed suit with similar renewable- energy goals. Rogers is now focusing beyond Hawaii to help other jurisdictions enact mandates for 100% renewable energy in their regions. His newest initiative, Blue Planet Alliance, takes a “mandate first” approach to initiate global climate change action by creating measurable and scalable results among individuals, organizations, cities, states, countries, and eventually, the world. The Alliance's mission is to get humanity to become 100% sustainable by 2045, and the vision is to create a world in which humanity and nature live in harmony. Starting in 2022, the Alliance have signed Blue Planet Climate Agreements with six UN Member States, one sovereign state, and one US Territory — Kingdom of Tonga, Government of Tuvalu, Republic of Palau, Country of Curacao, Government of Grenada, Commonwealth of Dominica, Republic of Vanuatu, and the US Territory of Guam — to help them achieve the 100% renewable-energy transition, and we are determined to sign more agreements in 2024. Rogers is also renowned as a global leader in the gaming industry, having created Japan's first Role-Playing Game, Black Onyx which was the #1 game in 1984. Rogers is the founder and Chairman of The Tetris Company, who holds the exclusive intellectual property rights to Tetris, one of the world's most popular video games which has sold over 600 million units to date. Rogers revolutionized the industry when he brought the now legendary game to U.S. and world markets more than three decades ago. His story has been captured in a new movie, “Tetris,” produced by Apple TV Plus, starring Taron Egerton as Rogers The story revisits how Rogers went inside the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War to obtain the rights to Tetris. The movie premiered in March 2023 at SXSW.

What is going on with the planet? How much damage are we bringing to the environment? Most importantly, what can we do to save it? For this episode of The Accutron Show, our hosts meet with Henk Rogers, entrepreneur and video game designer. Henk is known for producing Japan's first major turn-based role-playing video game 'The Black Onyx' and securing the rights to distribute the Russian puzzle Tetris on video game consoles, which served as the inspiration for one of Apple's latest movie hits. Today Henk is focused on his Blue Planet Foundation to raise awareness and foster action for clean energy in Hawaii, a mission he realized following a near death experience. Tune in to discover more!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS6:40 My "aha" moment came when I was in the back of an ambulance on the way to a hospital in Hawaii. I had a heart attack. I had just sold my company, I was looking at the ceiling and I remember thinking, "Are you kidding me? I haven't spent any of the money yet!" 19:00 It's not the United Nations that will change the situation. Their ambitions are not high enough and for those ambitions nobody's on track. We have to accept that. It's the united people that are going to get this done. We as individuals need to take action in our own lives. 31:10 My real claim to fame is that I was the first to bring role play games to Japan in 1983. So I started traveling the world looking for more role games to play in Japan and I found Tetris at a consumer electronics show right when the Gameboy was coming out.

Witches!!  Do you know how rocks get made?  You will now!  We are taking a deep dive into the gothest of rocks, and we are taking you with us.  How are these the same?  How are they different?  What properties do they have?  And most importantly, how do they make us feel?  Get your mind blown by science, and join us for this fascinating episode about some of our favorite black stones!  

My guest today is a Dutch video game designer and entrepreneur. While a student at the University of Hawaii, he'd while away the hours playing Dungeons and Dragons with his friends. After he moved to Japan, he bought a computer and used it to develop a role-playing game of his own, called Black Onyx, tailored to the Japanese market. When the game's backer pulled out of the deal, he decided to self-publish the game, and borrowed $50,000 from a friend to set up Bullet-Proof Software. Black Onyx sold 150,000 copies and influenced the creation of the Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy series. But it was a Russian game that made my guest truly famous when he helped broker the deal between the Soviet Union and Nintendo that brought Tetris to the world. That story has now been made into a film, set to debut on Apple TV this month. Please welcome, Henk Rogers. Thank you for listening to My Perfect Console.

In this episode, we look at the SG-1000's 1987 release lineup in its entirety... and, with those two games, we also wrap up the SG-1000 library as a whole. That's it! Go home! From now on, it's just Master System and beyond here on Segaiden. These two works are not necessarily the kind of thing you'd want to spend much time playing in the modern day and age, but they are very impressive from a technical perspective. Imagine playing games like Borderline and Space Slalom in the early days of the SG-1000, then ending up with a complete graphical adventure set in Victorian London with Loretta No Shouzou, or playing a sprawling dungeon RPG with The Black Onyx! No question about it, the SG-1000 went down aiming for the fences. Bless this mess of a machine. Video Works is a patron-funded project.

This week, we feature Rochelle Graham-Campbell, the C.E.O. of Alikay Naturals. Rochelle is an entrepreneurial dynamo who puts her heart into everything she does. And she gives us lessons on building a business strategically. As a young newlywed, Rochelle was paying her way through school and working three jobs: a C.N.A., a waitress at Olive Garden, and delivering daily newspapers with her husband, Demond. Then, she started doing YouTube videos as a form of creative expression, escaping all the pressure she put on herself to graduate early. The channel she created, Black Onyx, was where she could talk about her natural hair. In 2010, she was one of the original six natural bloggers and the only one that continues today. Through that channel, her haircare brand Alikay Naturals was born.  Although Rochelle isn't a chemist, she learned a lot watching her Grandmother, aka Yaya, in her native Jamaica, who was an expert in plant medicine. As a result, she was the first one people called when they had an ailment. Years later, Rochelle looked to natural ingredients to solve her hair problems and those who were part of her community. Rochelle formulated the brand's first 70 products in the first three years. That's no small feat. The line now has close to 90 SKUs. Rochelle shares how attending a pitch competition with her last dollars became a catalyst for Alikay to get on retail shelves. She didn't win but left with a connection that led to her presenting to Target. They were sold and wanted the brand in 300 doors. However, Rochelle and Demond decided to ask for 1/3 fewer stores to prove themselves. Preparing to go on retail shelves was costly, but the two also agreed to manufacture their products themselves and started Black Onyx World. And in 2022, Alikay Naturals launched in 1800 Walgreens stores. She's also founded HER by Alikay Naturals, a feminine care line because she saw a dearth in the marketplace.  But Rochelle is an entrepreneur who likes sharing her secrets to success, so she's creating opportunities for others to learn. Through her courses and her book "90 Days to C.E.O.".  As a serial entrepreneur, wife, and mother, Rochelle shares why the Alikay Cares Foundation and philanthropy are essential business elements.  Finally, Rochelle shares some tips on launching a business in an already overcrowded category. Hear about this and so much more in this episode!

We present again a 2019 chat with Gordon Spinks, a high profile jockey of the 1960's and 70's. Gordon talks of the heart attack he suffered while driving from Longreach to Brisbane in 2019. He didn't realise what had happened to him. The 73 year old says his heart issues aren't over yet. The former outstanding jockey looks back on childhood days in Sydney, and the neighbour's pony he couldn't wait to ride. Gordon reflects on the newspaper advertisement which led him to Theo Green's stable. He recalls the track gallops with Theo by his side and the start of his mateship with Ron Quinton. Spinks explains why he preferred to use his middle name rather than his given christian name. Gordon remembers his very first winner at Mudgee and his initial city win. He recalls the beginning of a successful association with Tommy Smith. He was stunned when the top trainer started giving him Gr 1 rides when he was still an apprentice. Gordon has never forgotten a last to first win on NZ mare Unpainted in the 1968 Doncaster. The champion jockey looks back on his first Gr 1 win as a fully fledged jockey- again courtesy of T.J. Smith. Gordon remembers Black Onyx , a great sprinter of the 60's and 70's who gave him a Doomben $10,000 win. He looks back on a retainer as number two jockey for leviathan owner Stan Fox. He talks of his admiration for the stable's top jockey Athol Mulley. Gordon talks of a “working holiday” in England where he rode for leading trainer Sam Armstrong. He remembers many a jogging session with Armstrong's son-in-law Lester Piggott. He recalls another overseas stint at the suggestion of Irish training wizard Dermot Weld. On arriving home he began his association with Jack and Bob Ingham who were spending freely at the yearling sales. Gordon reflects on his final overseas adventure in Tehran where racing had just begun. The sport was doomed from the moment the Shah was overthrown in 1979. Older racing people will remember the deeds of Gordon Spinks. I hope younger “podcasters” will tune in to find out just how good he was in an era of outstanding jockeys.

The Tetris Negotiations Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of information technology. Because understanding the past prepares us for the innovations of the future! Todays episode is on the origins of Tetris. I'll never forget the first time I saw St. Basil's as I was loading Tetris up. I'll never get those hours back that I played it. Countless hours. So how did it all begin? OK, so check this out. It's 1984. Los Angeles hosts the olympics and the Russians refuse to come. But then, the US had refused to come to Moscow when they had the Olympics. I am fairly certain that someone stuck their tongue out at someone else. It happens a lot in preschool. One may have even given the middle finger. That's what middle school is named after, right? It was a recession. Microchips were getting cheap. And Digital Equipment Corporation's PDP was one of the best computers ever made. It wasn't exactly easy to come by in Russia though. The microcomputer was becoming a thing. And Alexey Pajitnov was working at the Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. As with a lot of R&D places, they were experimenting with new computers. The Electronika 60 was so similar to the PDP that DEC chip designers printed jokes on chips just for Russians looking to steal their chip designs. They actually managed to get a quarter million ops per second 5 VLSI chips with 8k of RAM. They needed to do some random number generation and visualization. Good ole' Alexey was told to write some software to test the Electronika. He thought, ya' know, I should do a game. The beauty of writing games is that they can be math intensive, so perfect for benchmarking. But what kind of game? When he was a kid, he'd loved to play pentomino games. That's a game where there are 5 squares connected in one of 12 ways. Reduce that to 4 and it's 7. The thing is, when you have 5 the math was a little too intense. And it was a little easier with 4 blocks. He drew them on the screen in ascii and had the tetraminos fall down the screen. The games ended pretty quick, so he added an additional feature that deleted rows once they were complete. Then, he sped the falling speed up as you cleared a level. You had to spin your puzzle pieces faster, the further you got. And once you're addicted, you turn and turn and turn and turn. No frills, just fun. It needed a name though. Since you're spinning 4 blocks or Greet for tetras, it seemed like it got mashed up with tennis for tetraminiss. No, tetraminoss. Wait, cut a syllable here and there and you get to Tetris. They have 7 shapes, ijlostz. The IBM PC version ran with the I as maroon, the j as silver, the l as purple, the o as navy, the green is s, the brown is t, the teal is z. He got a little help from help of Dmitry Pavlovsky and 16 year old programming whiz, Vadim Gerasimov. Probably because they were already hopelessly addicted to the game. They ported it to the fancy schmancy IBM PC in about two months, and it started to spread around Moscow. By now, his coworkers are freakin' hooked. This was the era of disk sharing. And disks were certainly being shared. But it didn't stop there. It leaked out all over the place, making its way to Budapest, where it ended up on a machine at British-based game maker Andromeda. CEO Robert Stein sends a Telex to Dmitry Pavlovsky. He offers 75% royalties on sales and $10,000. Pretty standard stuff so far, but this is where it gets fun. So Pavlovsky responds that they should maybe negotiate a contract. But Andromeda had already sold the rights to spectrum holobyte and so attempted to license the software from the Hungarian developers that did the porting. Then realized that was dumb and went back to the negotiating table, getting it done for “computers.” All license deals went through the USSR at the time, and the Russian government was happy to take over the contract negotiations. So the USSR's Ministry of Software and Hardware Export gets involved. Through a company they setup for this called Elektronorgtechnica or ELORG, they negotiated the contract and did. That's how by 87 Tetris spreads to the US. In fact, Tetris was the first game released from ussr to USA and was for Commodore 64 and IBM PC. It was so simple it was sold as a budget title. Apple II package came with three versions on three disks, 5.25 inch, not copy protected yet. Can you say honor system. In 1988, Henk Rogers discovers Tetris at a trade show in Vegas and gets all kinds of hooked. Game consoles had been around for a long time, and anyone who paid attention knew that a number of organizations around the world were looking to release handhelds. Now, Old Henk was the Dutch video game designer behind a role playing game called The Black Onyx and had been looking for his next thing and customers. When he saw Tetris, he knew it was something special. He also knew the Game Boy was coming and thought maybe this was the killer game for the platform. He did his research and contacted Stein from Andromeda to get the rights to make a version for mobiles. Stein was into it but wasn't on the best of terms with the Russian government because he was a little late in his royalty payments. Months went by. Henk didn't hear back. Spectrum HoloByte got wind as well and sent Kevin Maxwell to Moscow to get the rights. Realizing his cash cow was getting in danger, old Stein from Andromeda also decided to hop on a plane and go to Moscow. They each met with the Russians separately in about a three day span. Henk Rogers is a good dude. As a developer who'd been dealing with rights to his own game, he decided the best way to handle the Russians was to actually just lay out how it all worked. He gave them a crash course in the evolving world of computer vs mobile license agreements in an international world. The Russians showed him their contracts with Andromeda. He told them how it should all really be. They realized Andromeda wasn't giving them the best of deals. Henk also showed them a game that there's no rights deal for. Whether all this was intentionally screwing the other parties or not is for history, but by the time he walked out he'd make a buck per copy that went on the Gameboy. There was other wrangling with the other two parties including an incident where the Russians sent a fax they knew Maxwell couldn't get in order to get out of a clause in a contract. This all set up a few law suits and resulted in certain versions in certain countries shipping then being pulled back off the shelf. Fun times. But because of it all, in 1989 the Game Boy was released. Henk was right, Tetris turned out to be the killer app for the platform. Until Minecraft came along it was the most popular game of all time, selling over 30 million copies. And ranked #5 in the 100 best Nintendo games. It was the first Game Boy game that came with the ability to link up to other Game Boys and you could play against your friends. Back then you needed to use a cable to coop. The field was 10 wide and 18 high in game boy and it was set to music from Nintendo composer Hirokazu Tanaka. The Berlin Wall is torn down in 1989. I suspect that was part of the negotiations with Game Boy. Can you imagine Gorbetrev and Reagan with their Game Boys linked up playing Tetris for hours over the fate of Germany? ‘Cause I can. You probably think there were much more complicated negotiations taking place. I do not. I tend to think Reagan's excellent Tetris skills ended the Cold War. So Pajitnov's friend Vladimir Pokhilko had done some work on the game as well and in 1989. He ran psychological experiments using the game and with that research, the two would found a company called AnimaTek. They would focus on 3D software, releasing El-fish through Maxis. While Tetris had become the most successful game of all time, Pokhilko was in a dire financial crisis and would commit suicide. There's more to that story but it's pretty yuck so we'll leave it at that. Pajitnov, the original developer, finally got royalties in 1996 when the Parastroika agreement ended. Because Henk Rogers had been a good dude, they formed The Tetris Company together to manage licensing of the game. Pajitnov went to work at Microsoft in 1996, working on games. The story has become much more standard since then. Although in 2012 the US Court on International Trade responded to some requests to shut competitors down noting that the US Copyright didn't apply to rules of game and so Tetris did file other patents and trademarks to limit how close competitors could get to the original game mechanics. After studying at the MIT Media Lab, that 16 year old programmer, Vadim Gerasimov went to become an engineer at Google. Henk Rogers serves as the Managing Director of The Tetris Company. Since designing Tetris, Pajitnov has made a couple dozen other games, with Marbly on iOS being the latest success. It needs a boss button. Tetris has been released on arcade games, home consoles, mobile devices, pdas, music players, computers, Oscilloscope Easter eggs and I'm pretty sure it now has its own planet or 4. It probably owes some of its success to the fact that it makes people smarter. Dr Richard hayer claims Tetris leads to more efficient brain activity. Boosts general cognitive abilities. Improved cerebral cortex thickness. If my cortex were thicker I'd probably research effects of games as a means of justifying the countless hours I wanted to spend on them too. So that's the story of Tetris. It ended the Cold War, makes you smarter, and now Alexy gets a cut of every cent you spend on it. So he'll likely thank you for your purchase. Just as I thank you for tuning in to another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We're so very lucky to have you. Have a great day! Now back to my game!

For the 35th anniversary of Tetris' original Russian version, I pulled out this clip from my interview with Henk Rogers — co-founder of The Tetris Company and the dude who got Tetris handheld and console publishing rights back in the 1980s (and also creator of what was arguably the first JRPG, The Black Onyx).  Listen for Henk's memories about the strategy inherent in the game's scoring system and the story of how they fixed a bias in the Game Boy version's random number generator. The interview was originally conducted for https://www.polygon.com/2019/4/19/18295061/game-boy-history-timeline-tetris-pokemon-nintendo (my Polygon feature) on the Game Boy's (and Pokémon's) introduction in the West. (Also, Game Boy Tetris turns 30 next week, so happy birthday to that version too!)
