The humble cartridge is an icon in video game history. But where did it come from? Learn the story behind the first programmable home console - the Fairchild...
Interesting video diving into Fairchild Channel F, the first console to utilize cartridges for games
Nice one to relax after a long day, can see quite a lot of resources were used, cited and more.
Was really fun to know about the issues that first consumers had to even know how to use the Fairchild when calling customer support lines.
Just a random thought that came to my mind after watching this video, specifically:
Wish YT allowed to bring features like making interactive research videos for the viewer, because at some point, felt that it could have been also been chaptered that way on this occasion, don’t know why exactly, but, if YT allowed to make an interactive video where you can make like some icons representing those yellow Fairchild cartridges, and every time you hover the mouse over it, shows the title of that specific chapter on the video… Well you get the idea, just making an example of how did picture that IF there was a way to make it happen = P
Appreciate the work that has been done on the Fairchild, and can’t wait to see more when it’s ready.
