1 sept 1972 año - Two Knobs + Light Gun // Magnavox Odyssey + Shooting Gallery (1972)

Descripción:

This was the first time a gaming control device was called a "controller". Its controller used two knobs, one moves across the x-axis and the other for the y-axis.

This also was the first "light gun", which detected light flashes from the screen to register hits. It could be easily defeated by simply pointing at a lightbulb and pulling the trigger.
