sep 1, 1972 - Two Knobs + Light Gun // Magnavox Odyssey + Shooting Gallery (1972)
Description:
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.

Timeline for Video Games stuff idk pls i dont wanna do this project evfen though it's kinda cool but idk in the end really does anything in our minuscule lives really matter in the end i mean really does it matter? To be or not to be, that is the question, whether ti nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to sleep, perchance to dream, that is to die, so that we may at last know peace
