Game Details
Console published 46 years ago:
Videoplay (c) 1978 SABA.
A German clone of the Fairchild Channel F.
- TRIVIA -
Just like the other licensed clones of the Channel F Saba took over Fairchild's game library often using the same numbering. Saba translated the game titles into German. The games featuring English text were reprogrammed into the German language.
This was the case for:
Videocart-1: Tic-Tac-Toe
Videocart-3: Video Blackjack
Videocart-18: Hangman
While all Channel F games were originally developed by Fairchild or Zircon, Saba as only license company did develop an exclusive game (Chess) for the Channel F. This game has no number in the Fairchild/Zircon catalog. Saba listed the game in their own catalog as #20 Schach.
