Help finding sources for a research paper

Im doing a research paper on how the way people interact with games has evolved since their creation.

I need help finding (reliable) sources that have information on different controllers and other oddities (like voice controls on the atari 2600 and other things like that).

I have about three or four so far that arent gamespy or something like that.

Anyone know any good ones?

I just would like to mention that Metal Gear Solid that was very innovative in its interaction with the player:

POSSIBLE SPOILERS (Metal Gear Solid)

-You had to look in the game case for a frequency.
-Psychomantis could tell you what games you liked (by checking konami saved games in your memory card), move your controller (via vibration), make your TV go black with the message "Hideo" (at least in my scart TV, to return to the game I had to use the TV remote while the game was still playing), to defeat him you had to plug your controller in the second port....
-You could have some massages from the vibrating controller, to recover from the pain of the torture of having to mash the buttons.

That's the site for my TC 391: Social History of Digital Games class. If you go to the links section, there are links to the lecture slides from the semester. One of them has some stuff about peripherals from the early days of home consoles. I assume this would be a good source since it is coming from a professor's lecture Good luck.

That sounds super credible, thanks.
