Regarding the Fairchild channel F cartridges "looking" like an 8-track cartridge: at least some of the Channel F cartridges WERE 8-track cartridge shells that were crudely modified to fit the circuit board for the games.
I hope there is a follow up to this that covers more video game firsts. I was eagerly hoping the Microvision - the first handheld console would get a mention. I've played it before and it's quite primitive - but it is quite interesting that it came out about a decade before the GameBoy.
I remember reading a very early interview that Some people claimed Pac-Man was inspired by a slice of pizza. And the creator said that’s a great story. I wish I came up with that. And then that’s what he started claiming..
Finding the whole Star Wars movie done in ACSII chars hidden in Microsoft's terminal app on Windows is one of the my favourite easter eggs. It used to be really easy to run but takes a little more work these days but you can still get it.
Magnavox did not have a "partnership" with Philips; they were OWNED by them. Magnavox (and Norelco) were the brand names that Philips used for consumer products in the North American market.
While the 1940 "Nim" was not a video game, it WAS a computer game, However "Tennis for two" WAS a video game as it's play was on a CRT screen. So video topic starts a 1:08
I had a chance to buy a closeout 10-in square picture disc of Pac-Man fever for $4. Boy, I wish I had that I'm not sure how valuable it is nowadays but I really loved Pac-Man and I wish I had it now.
According to discogs there's an 8" square picture disc that's worth anything between US$20 and US$60, depending on condition. Looks like you would've made a _bit_ of profit.
The plural of mouse is mice but the plural of house is not hice. The plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese. The plural of octopus is octopuses and octopi.

You did great work researching everything! I know I'm deep in the rabbit hole, I keep learning new things about old games. Thanks for the video!

good ole Fuck-Man, what a game, never did get very far.
I can't imagine using a controller like the one made for Tennis for Two. Nice video!

Underrated channel
they get facts wrong all the time
Is that an easter egg? Kinda feels like a cheat code. Either way, great video. Well done.
I would not call the 1940 Nim to be a VIDEO game because...No video! It IS a COMPUTER game though.
(my) First game was space invaders on c64.
