@Moonbolt Spitfire is pretty much the same as the biplane game in Atari's Combat. You really need two players for that game to be worth playing. Torpedo Alley is like Air Sea Battle, except the twist control of the Fairchild sticks lets you aim easier than you could in Air Sea Battle. Drag Race isn't all that great. All you can do is shift using the knob. It seemed limited, even for the Channel F.
The goal in Robot War is to make all of the robots collide with the square shields. If a robot hits a shield, it dies, but the shield remains intact. If a robot hits you, it respawns in the place of a shield. If you lose all four shields, you lose. If you destroy all four robots, you win. The robots will move straight toward you and will not wrap around the screen
There is also a two player mode where the second player controls the robots.
The sound really sucks... what did you do? Seems your video ram is faulty also - or a logic circuit for it - that line of graphic that appears to the left is not supposed to be there.
I noticed the sound when I was recording the videos. I'm not sure if it's the actual system that's messed up or if it's just that my video input card didn't like the system for some reason. I almost muted the entire video, but decided to leave it in so people wouldn't think that the system was silent. After all, Sonar Search wouldn't make any sense at all without sound.
As far as the video, I think that might be normal. The PC input shows the full display, including what would be cut off by a normal TV. It will often show things you're not normally supposed to see.
Of course, it could very well be system issues. It is a 30 year old piece of electronic equipment. I'm amazed that it even turns on at all.
Better than Sonic 06.

I've got one of these with a couple of games. Neat to see some of the titles I don't have.
Torpedo Alley, Spitfire and Dragrace look really awesome!

What's the point with the game Robot War? Good initiative with this video showing all these old games though!
