The Fairchild Channel F was released by Fairchild Semiconductor in November 1976 across North America, October 1977 in Japan. It has the distinction of being the first programmable ROM cartridge–based video game console, and the first console to use a microprocessor. It was launched as the Video Entertainment System, or VES, but when Atari released its VCS the next year, Fairchild renamed its machine to Channel F. By 1977, the Fairchild Channel F had sold 250,000 units, trailing behind sales of the VCS.

​

In 1979, Zircon International bought the rights to the Channel F and released the re-designed console as the Channel F System II to compete with Atari's VCS.

​

The system comes with an unusual pair of controllers, hardwired right into the system. Holding one like a stick, players twiddle a control knob on the top that not only features compass direction movement, but can also be pushed down for use as a fire button, as well as twisted left and right AND be pulled up.

The 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System is a group of home video game consoles released in European in 1978. This console group is software-compatible and was was produced by different companies and sold with different names, including the Interton VC-4000 and the Voltmace Database.

There is some difference in opinion on which console came first and influenced the others. Wikipedia suggests Audiosonic, though it is not stated why this is. Others have observed that these systems all have a Radofin XM-2050-# PCB inside. Yet others suggest Interton, because it has the largest library of games.

​

Not every console in this group is compatible with the others, due to differences in the shapes and dimensions of the cartridge slots. Each of these "cartridge families" (interchangeable cartridges) within the 1292 APVS console group are software compatible even though they have different cartridges.

The RCA Studio II was made by RCA and debuted in January 1977. The graphics of Studio II games were black and white and resembled those of earlier Pong consoles. The Studio II also did not have joysticks or similar game controllers but instead used two ten button keypads that were built into the console. The console was capable of making simple beep sounds with slight variations in tone and length.

​

One distinct feature of the Studio II was its five built-in games. Another was its use of a switchbox that relayed both the modulated RF signal of the console's video to the television set while powering the console with DC power.

In 1978, Unisonic released the Champion 2711 console based on the CP-1610 CPU, also used by the Intellivision. It had 4 text based games built-in and 4 cartridges were available. The console is the only one known to use the "Gimini mid range 8950 programmable game set" as described in the Gimini products book.

The Atari Game Brain (Model C-700) was an unreleased dedicated video game console by Atari. Intended to be released in June 1978, it would only have played 10 different games. All of the planned games would have been ports of games from all of Atari's previously released dedicated consoles, such as Pong, Stunt Cycle, & Video Pinball. Its controllers were built onto the system, and included 4 directional buttons, a paddle, and a fire button. Games would be inserted in the top of the system by opening a door, and the door had a small instructions booklet on top of it. Atari cancelled the Game Brain, and today only 3 Game Brain consoles are known to exist, as well as 5 prototype cartridges.

The Atari 2600 (or Atari Video Computer System before November 1982) was released by Atari, Inc. on September 11, 1977. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and ROM cartridges containing game code.

​

For five years, 1977 until late 1982, the system was officially sold as the Atari VCS, an abbreviation for Video Computer System. Following the release of the Atari 5200 in November 1982, the VCS was renamed to the "Atari 2600", after the unit's Atari part number, CX2600. The 2600 was typically bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge: initially Combat, and later Pac-Man.
