Summary

[edit]
Description

The Channel F, built by Fairchild Semiconductor, is the world’s first cartridge based game console. Technologically the Channel F is very basic, outputting 102 x 58 visible pixels and displaying a maximum of eight colors. It was able to produce AI for players to compete against; previous consoles required a human opponent. It came with two built-in games, both similar to Pong, and cost the modern equivalent of about $680.
