Evolution of Gaming Controllers (Part One)

In part one we explore gaming controllers from the super innovative early days of the first home video game console prototype ("Brown Box") to the rise of iconic D-pads. It wasn't all good though, we also look at the TV remote like blunders that filled the 2D era of video games.
