Quick Snaps of the New Fairchild VES/Channel F Pac-Man Homebrew and the Skunk Board for the Atari Jaguar

Sun, 05/03/2009 - 9:47am — Bill Loguidice

More quick iPhone photos of new collection additions, this time the amazing new homebrew cartridge for the Fairchild Video Entertainment System (VES)/Channel F, Pac-Man, with an impressive flip-top cartridge shell design, and the Skunk Board (Skunkboard) for the Atari Jaguar, which is a USB-based Jaguar development board containing flash memory as well as the ability to upload to Jaguar RAM. At some point the full color box and manual for the Pac-Man cartridge will also arrive and I'll do a full video review of that and the Pac-Man Collection for the ColecoVision, each of which is stunning in their own right and would have set the world on fire if they were released when these systems were still new.

Thanks. This is actually an old topic. I did record a better one myself from my own copy, here, back on December 31, 2009: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3aOcRqaS4s

Of course my Fairchild does not seem to output as nicely as your Luxor... :-(

Not 100% reflective of the quality, but at least it gives an idea (not mine):
