@limni @Felthry We're too young for all of these ourselves! :3

@IceWolf @limni so are we, the 2600 was our dad's

@IceWolf @limni space invaders and breakout are fun but ultimately it's really the third-generation systems and later that are really worth playing as more than just a novelty

@Felthry @IceWolf we got ours from goodwill sometime in the early 00s back when thrift shops were good for older retro games, and ended up giving away our whole collection to a friend in college. but honestly this is a system we're perfectly cool with just emulating.

@limni @IceWolf yeah it's not exactly a system known for its great games, mostly known for its pioneering nature

@limni the 2600 is actually the only one of these we've personally played

should see if that still works sometime...

@packbat we aren't actually sure who jerry lawson is?

@Felthry Jerry Lawson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Lawson_(engineer) - is one of the engineers involved in the production of the Fairchild Channel F, and widely credited as the father of the videogame cartridge. We don't know much about that history but we wanted to celebrate that innovation.

@packbat honestly we don't know much about the channel F, we know fairchild mostly as a semiconductor company
