I had my 16-year-old twin nephews over to play my Fairchild Channel F videogame system (pre Atari 2600) on my CTC-15 console about a year ago. They have both grown up playing the latest games on Playstation and PS2 etc., but they sure got a kick out of playing those clunky old games, especially Pro Football where the players are just Xs and Os. We get a kick just watching how slow the system is, how it is so heavily taxed moving that many little sprites around on the screen at the same time. Along with the primitive sounds coming out of the unit's speaker (it doesn't even send the sound to the tv.) My Fairchild machine gave out and now I am looking for a replacement on Ebay because one of my nephews keeps bugging me that he wants to play that Football game again!
