Ever wonder how those game cartridges you used to have stacked on top of your TV were made? FastCompany.com has put out an in-depth retrospective on the very first video game console to use cartridges, the Fairchild Channel F.
Coming out in November 1976, just before the Atari 2600 and RCA Studio II, the Fairchild Channel F was gamers' first introduction to the bulky black cartridges that would be the industry's medium of choice well into the 1990s.
Until cartridges were introduced, games were severely held back by memory limitations and the lack of an easy way to switch out software.
