Video games sure have come a long way since the first modern games were released back in 1971 (Compter Space) and 1972 (Pong). But it's not just the graphics, movement, and gameplay that have evolved over the decades. Even the controls used to interact with our favorite games have gone through the ringer of gaming infancy, awkward adolescence, to what they look like now - and who's to say they won't keep on changing as new games and new technologies emerge?
GadgetLove, a website known for their gadget reviews and stunning, high-quality GIFs, has put together interactive slide shows (and animated GIF's) that show how video game controllers have changed over the years. Some, like Nintendo, are unrecognizable from its earliest form, while others like Sony and X-box, while they have definitely undergone design changes, are still basically the same in form as they have been from the start.
