Pretty good

This console is pretty good for it's time, with it's 8 bit proccesor going against 4 bit consoles like the Fairchild CF and the 2600, just what I think. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 12:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? The Fairchild and 2600 are 8bit. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 18:07, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No accualty, the Atari 5200 and 7800 are 8 bit and the 2600 was 4 bit, the Fairchild Channel F never recieved a follow up but it was indeed 4 bit. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 17:40, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What on Earth are you talking about? The Fairchild F8 used in the Fairchild Channel F was an 8-bit CPU, as was the MOS Technology 6507 used in the Atari 2600. If you want to find a 4-bit system from the era, you'd have to look for something based around an Intel 4004 or a TMS1000, such as the many handheld games and toys of the era. --Mr z (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First to use interchangable roms?

I noticed that the exact date is not published for some reason (will fix that soon) but did this not come before the Fairchild? So wouldn't it be the first?Leeroyhim (talk) 16:28, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The answer is possibly, but there are not actually any reliable sources that back up this claim. A man named Dale Hansen first made the claim that the system debuted in 1976 back in 2002 at his site, consoledatabase.com, which is not a reliable source. Unfortunately, he does not provide a source for the claimed release year either on the console page or in a more detailed FAQ he wrote about the system. All of the other consoles in the 1292 family date from 1978 or later, making a 1976 date suspect. While 1970s articles can be difficult to find and my research is therefore incomplete, I can also find no mention of the system before 1979. More info is necessary to clarify this system's chronology. Indrian (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
