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 Channel F - and the team behind it. Why couldn't Fairchild capitalize on this revolutionary idea and why did the Channel F console fade into obscurity?

The Gaming Historian does some cool videos.

Very cool video, and respect to The Gaming Historian, he does quality work.

Yeah, an incredible amount of effort must go in to each video he produces. He always covers the topic in great depth.
