Fairchild Channel F

This was the first time console gaming as we know it today entered the home. Previous videogaming was limited to arcades located in gaming halls or often Pong reproductions. Hitting the market before the Atari 2600 was helpful for sales. Not only was it an inferior product, but even worse, it lacked third-party game support. Multiple games were packed on each swappable cartridge. The innovation and inventiveness of this console, was to inspire future generations of consoles. It legacy lived on for decades beyond its own lifespan.
