Channel F

"Channel F is here and now."

Fairchild's Video Entertainment System, later renamed Channel F, is notable as the very first game console to use a microprocessor (earlier machines used discrete logic) and ROM cartridges, almost a whole year before the Atari 2600 came out. However, it was not very successful, and only 26 "Videocarts" were officially released for it. Each Videocart was a bright yellow cartridge which was numbered and sometimes contained more than one game.

The list

Box Art	Title	Genre	Description
	Videocart 2: Desert Fox/Shooting Gallery	Shooting	Desert Fox is a tank duel game where you must maneuver on a field full of landmines and destroy your opponent before he does so to you. Shooting Gallery is a generic target shooting game. Worth for Desert Fox.
	Videocart 21: Bowling	Sports	Strike! Simple fun if you just want to dive right into the Channel F. The ball moves on it's own from left to right and you have to push up at the right moment. Don't worry if you mess up the throw, as you can control the ball all the way to the pins. Two-player-mode is a blast.
	Videocart 26: Alien Invasion	Shoot'em Up	The best game on the Channel F. Yes, it is a Space Invaders clone, but it is a very nice one, on par with the Atari version. Some of the aliens even look like the alien from E.T.
	Videocart 27: Pac-Man	Puzzle	Homebrew-Version that takes full advantage of the Channel F. Colorful, smooth controls, 2-player-mode and even some eastereggs. One of the few games on the system that is fun for more than ten minutes.
