Wow, 58 years worth of video game controllers, from Tennis For Two to the Oculus Rift. With VR now here to stay, where will gaming controllers be in another 58 years?
While you contemplate where video game controllers will go in the next six decades, kick back, relax, press play and see how we got here from 1958!

It doesn’t get much more ’90s’ than DOOM II and Seinfeld. This mashup is real, and it’s spectacular!
Huge Seinfeld fan, Doug Keener, spent 100+ hours creating this spongeworthy wad about nothing. Play DOOM II inside 129 West 81st Street with sprites of the whole gang – audio clips and death animations included. So, giddy up and get playing.
Doug explains: ‘I am a massive fan of Seinfeld. The characters were put into the replica as a bonus to add to the tribute. The only reason they are killable is because I wanted to keep it in traditional Doom fashion, because what is doom without violence and death? This is in no way a “hate video” towards Seinfeld or the cast. It is a tribute and an homage to one of the greatest television shows of all-time, as well as one of the greatest video games of all-time’.
