[NinGalaxy]

What the hell JCPenny?

[Eternalsky1982]

the carts was only 20 each that's not too bad.

[JJkul1917]

Do peaople know they can play Black Jack or doodle in real life?

Also, rip-off of Pong.

Just wondering, what do the breastmilk pumpers do?

[slipc21]

wow at JCPenny

[whattheheck1000]

My Channel F cost roughly $60 in 2007.

[lollnternets1]

Wow $170! Damn that's pretty expensive for 1976.

[Tomlikesmusic]

I need to buy one,

How much do you reckon they cost these days?

[lollnternets1]

Definately much more than that. I'd say $300 from someone who knows how much that thing is worth. as for a garage sale I'd probably say $25-$50 as long as the dumbass doesn't know what they have.

[Tomlikesmusic]

oh :(

[Sekorie]

That's what I was thinking of.

I love these old commercials.. notice in these commercials and print adds you almost never see a kid playing them.. two adults usually.

[NixonTech2071]

I think this system should have had more attention put to it, it wouldve beat the intellivision. (well probably not. but it's still pretty good)

[dijeinyje]

I've seen Fairchild cartridges in various thrift stores, but never a system that plays them.

[llizotte]

Wow $169.95 in 1979 and $20 for games... And I though our game systems were expensive at least they are cool

[gamer4567]

it came out before the atari 2600.

[Sylver1432]

Wow. I *knew* it was called the Fairchild!!! I remember that game system! My parents had it in their bedroom. Did it come out before or after Atari?

[RABBIDGamfan]

Before. It came out in 1976, 1 year before the Atari VCS/2600.

[smittykins]

I had one of those!
