I owned a Fairchild, the "Channel F". Funny, when Sony had their E3 conference with wand motion controllers, it made me think of that controller. Looked better than it worked though. I remember playing Castle Wolfenstein on an Apple 2E, before it was first person and just called Wolfenstein. I can't believe how many Pong styled consoles Coleco put out. I had the triangle one, and the one with the tank controls, and the bare bones Pong one as well.
The Atari 2600 was so much better than these early consoles; I can't even describe the feeling you got the first time you played on an NES. It's obvious the impact it had, SMB, Metroid, Final Fantasy, & Zelda were like crack before crack even existed! Even games like Punch Out still have huge relevance today.
