Found this on YouTube, the Fairchild Channel F on a 70s kids show called "Space Academy." Pretty cool. :cool:

What sucks is I bought the DVD set of Space Acadamey, Jason of Star Command, and some other 70s TV series. But now I can't find it!

Find them so you can see the Channel F in HD! ;)

The only Channel F games I really thought were any fun were Dodge It and that rare Space Invaders clone. It's still pretty cool to see it had some attention before the 2600 came out.

I agree, I like Dodge It and Alien Invasion. Alien Invasion I think it's cool because it was a port of an actual popular arcade game, which most other systems took for granted but a rarity on the Channel F. ;) Once you get used to the controls, Drag Strip is fun. I'm one of the rare people that enjoys playing the Channel F, when I had one anyway.
