The Fairchild Channel F is a game console released by Fairchild Semiconductor in August 1976 at the retail price of $ 169. 95.

By 1977, the Fairchild Channel F had sold 250, 000 units and was second-place behind the VCS.

The Channel F electronics were designed by Jerry Lawson using the Fairchild F8 CPU, the first public outing of this processor.

Ken Uston reviewed 32 games in his book Ken Uston's Guide to Buying and Beating the Home Video Games in 1982, and rated some of the Channel F's titles highly ; of these, Alien Invasion and Video Whizball were considered by Uston to be " the finest adult cartridges currently available for the Fairchild Channel F System.

In 1976, the company released the first video game system to use ROM cartridges, the Fairchild Video Entertainment System ( or VES ) later renamed Channel F, using the F8 microprocessor.

Several cartridges for the Fairchild Channel F include previously unknown Easter eggs, programmed by Michael Glass and Brad Reid-Selth, that are believed to predate Robinett's work.

The F8 was used in the Fairchild Channel F Video Entertainment System in 1976 and in the VideoBrain Computer system in 1977.

Unfortunately by the time the Game Brain was finished, dedicated consoles were becoming obsolete against consoles with programmable ROMs, such as the already released Fairchild Channel F, the RCA Studio 2, and Atari's own 2600.

By the end of the 1970s, cartridge-based systems, beginning with the Fairchild Channel F, had risen to prominence during the second generation of consoles due to the success of the Atari 2600, though stand-alone systems such as Coleco's Mini-Arcade series continued to have a smaller presence in the home market up until the North American video game crash of 1983.
