TCW Podcast Episode 076 - A Fairchild Story We cover the history of the Fairchild company and their console the Fairchild Channel F.  It is a fascinating journey of how a company was thrust into a role where they could get in on the ground floor of the new video game industry.  Although through bad experiences in other industries, an epic struggle to ger FCC approval, and observations on the turmoil of the video game industry, Fairchild was defeated.  Fairchild's exit from the scene was not so much the initial hurdles they faced, but their lack of will to produce, and market in quantities that would let them gain the market share they needed.   How Integrated Circuits are made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35jWSQXku74 Fairchild on Integrated Circuits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z47Gv2cdFtA Fairchild Channel F Hockey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a45lmvaA3KI Fairchild Channel F Blackjack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf5RoJVGh3k Fairchild Channel F Spitfire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95guwJJGx8I Fairchild Channel F Controller Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egfNz3XtL90 Overview of the Fairchild Channel F: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIRhnu7sfCY How ROM Cartridges Worked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLEMsw1SjDY&t   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's forthcoming book will be released through CRC Press!   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
