Most houses back in the 70s/80s were even older so the electricity wasn't stable, you had a higher risk of damaging small electronics plugged into the wall if the power ever had problems, which is why almost every piece of technology from that era has a battery option.

My dad was telling me about how his family used to own a pong console back when he was a kid. He was describing it to me, saying it had four game modes. Tennis, Hockey, Handball, and Skeet shooting. He said that it had mechanical buttons to change the game modes that would light up and told me that you could pop out the controllers. I was thinking to myself, "that sounds so familiar. Where have I heard about this before?" I went back to this video to look for it, and lo and behold, 6:27 showed up and that was it! The Colorsport VIII. I showed some screenshots to my dad and he confirmed it. That was the one. Thanks for helping me out by making this video, James!

You don't need the fork. Just strip the plastic off the wire a little bit, and wrap the cable around the screw that would hold the fork to the television. The forks fell off our old 2600 back in the day and that's how we had it hooked up. The forks are just there to make it easier, so long as the wire is connected to the screw on the TV in some way, it will work. You can also buy replacement forks and crimp them onto the ends of the wire.

"This Xbox 360 might even be in color" -plays GTA IV: one of the brownest games on the system

[@toonertube]

"one of the brownest" is an understatement. I've never seen another game that's 80% brown on the XB360, or any console for that matter, PC or PS3

[@Ghost_Of_SAS]

[@marekvrbka]

GhostSniper3081 I remember using old composite AV out to composite on PS2, it was in black and while, and audio didint work, then I switched to SCART (Im in Europe), its like something between 720p and 1080p

[@peestain3756]

5:07 There are multiple wires in one cable so one wire goes to the tv then any others are routed to the power supply to power the console & the connector would have at least 3 connections one for the tv one for ground & one for power which makes it really easy to make one box for both parts possibly to save space in the console
