Same Photo For last 30 Years

Same [PHOTO] for last 30 years, On November 7, 1982 a number of video gaming champions got together on the streets of a small town in Iowa.

LIFE Magazine was in Ottumwa, Iowa, which grabbed headlines for proclaiming itself to be the Video Game Capital of the World, to photograph the event as the world record champs traveled in from around the country.

Now 30 years later, the snap has continued to appear repeatedly in documentary films, gaming news websites and even on the walls of retro-themed arcades across the country. Go here for the photos from then and now.
