Sheddy Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I got sent the following e-mail. I figure the 2600 has got to be one of the oldest. Maybe some of you UK 2600 owners have still got their original console from back then, or know of someone... of course you all kept your sales receipt.... Don't know why it got sent to me, as sadly I've been without my 2600 since the mid-80's and still haven't got myself another wooden 6-switch yet From : "harriet" <harriet@swns.com> Hi My name is Harriet and I am a journalist for SWNS. We are the Largest Independent Press Agency in the UK. I want to do a fun piece for the national newspapers and I am looking for the oldest working games console in the UK. Do you know anyone with an old one who may want to help me out and appear in the newspapers for a fee???

Jobf Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 The Channel F (which is earlier) was also available in the UK. As well as all those Pong clones by Grandstand and Radofin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Good point about the Fairchild F, had forgotten about that. Thanks. Wonder if you could class the pong clones as consoles though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
