<p style="text-align: left;">We all have memories of our first video game system. For me, the original Nintendo (NES) was set up in my childhood dentist&#8217;s office &#8212; <em>who knew there were ways to get seven year olds excited about oral hygiene?</em> But if you&#8217;ve been gaming since joysticks were the height of technological prowess, it&#8217;s nearly impossible to remember them all. Until now. Blow a little air into the dusty cartridge of your memory and check out the newest print from Pop Chart Lab featuring the meticulous and beautiful <a href="https://popchartlab.com/products/the-evolution-of-video-game-controllers">Evolution of Video Game Controllers</a>.</p>
<p>What started with a single button and knob combo circa 1958&#8217;s <em>Tennis for Two</em> has evolved into controllers in nearly every shape imaginable. Wheels, guns, guitars, magic wands and, hey, is that a set of maracas I spot in there? It reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure chart by way of a Family Tree, with a color key at the bottom to define the different controller types and how they&#8217;re chronologically related. Remarkable.</p>
