If I close my eyes really tightly shut and zone out from the rest of the world while humming a little diddy (not to be confused with the rapper Diddy, or is it P. Diddy or Papa Diddy?) I can remember the first time I ever played a video game.  Yes it was on a Nintendo and it was Mario Bros.  Yes, that’s it.  From there the gaming got more common.  I played Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega, Super Mario Bros. on Super Nintendo, and so on and so on.

I was hooked the first time I picked up a controller.  As I grew up, gaming grew with me.  The technology was more advanced, the characters were clearer.  The games were becoming more complex too.  Today, I am still in awe over the fact that there are gaming systems where you do not even need controllers to play.  That’s right your body is the controller.

This infographic shows the evolution of gaming, and it is quite wonderful.
