That one came out after Channel F. Channel F was first machine that took interchangeable game cartridges with rom chips in them. First machine with games that diesplayed text, first videogame easter egg, lots of firsts. It died after about 30 games or so. I think Odessey II (the one with keyboard) lived longer and had more games made for it.
While I'm sitting here I have the 'Quadadoodle' game running that randomly does a color kaleidescope thing on the screen, looks cool on a roundie (the machine has a incredible color palette of EIGHT colors! Wooooooh!
