The Evolution of Video Game Controllers in Pretty Poster Form

Brooklyn-based Pop Chart Lab’s latest poster is another attempt to show the lineage of video game controllers, from the twin sticks of Spacewar! to the lonely, somewhat sui generis Wii U tablet sitting lonely at the bottom. A signed and numbered print will run you just 24 clams.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); I ran up to [[link]] the Museum of the Moving [[link]] Image in Queens this weekend to check out their Jim Henson exhibition. That was great, naturally. But I hadn’t realized the museum was filled with old television and movie hardware, as well as a pretty decent vintage arcade, including—but not touchable—an original Spacewar! Computer Space cabinet. Let me [[link]] tell you, it was really hard not to touch that cabinet. Now I kind of want one of my own. The Evolution of Video Game Controllers [PopChartLab.com]
