The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers In 16 Cool Photos

Javier Laspiur made this series of pictures showing the evolution of video game controllers throughout history. I played with most of these, even the 1983 Teletenis, and it feels like it was yesterday. It’s been quite a journey that’s not over yet. I can’t wait to see what the future of video games will bring next.

The year at the bottom of each picture is not a reference to when the console was released but to the year when Javier played them for the first time.
