Any shmups for the Fairchild Channel F?....
Just curious; this is a fascinating little system, IMO-it was the first cartridge-based system ever made. So I was wondering if there were any shmups made for it.
I have that system. Played it a lot as a kid in the 70s, and my parents gave it to me when I moved out. I'd love to get new controllers for it, as that's the only thing wrong with it. Some of the controller functions don't work.
Anyway, I've got a bunch of the cartridges. "Alien Invasion" is probably the only true shmup. It's a crude simulation of Space Invaders.
A few other games have shooting, like "Shooting Gallery" where you shoot ducks, a 2-player tank game, and a flying suacer game where you fire lasers at each other.
Another good one is "Video Whizball" where you shoot at these blocks to move them into the other player's goal.
I should fire that system up again. It's been awhile.
