Pic Related and if you argue that its not a console you are wrong that is literally a console in the purest sense.
If you argue it is not a home console, wrong, many enthusiasts had equipment capable of running TFT in thier homes. Just because it was not sommercial does not mean it was not in many homes.
If you think its not a video game, wrong, it is a game that uses a graphical display.

>Spacewar
Spacewar is not a true video game by the most rigourous definition.

Those cartridges didn't have any code or data. They just rewired the internals of the console in different ways.

This. Literally everyone had a home oscilloscope in the late 50's.

Youre both wrong. The first home console ever was the Turochamp machine which ran out of a Automatic Computing Engine machine which 98% of the populace in the U.K. had in their homes. Anyone who suggests that this is incorrect is a zoomer

It's electronic but does this count as "video" though?

You insult him in frustration, as a consequence of the realization you had that he is, in fact, correct. How silly.

For the purpose of TFT it's just a display. You'd recreate the system and plug it in. See >>8443089

It's displayed using a built in CRT, do they no longer count as video?

spacewar is a video game, even if the target platform literally couldn't fit in most homes
if its not, then neither is the likes of doom or any other PC game

>It's displayed using a built in CRT
No it isn't
And the best counterargument to "it's not my definition of 'video'" aspies like >>8442970 is to point out that neither is the game boy. Of course, you should never argue with such aspies. Only mock them for being ignorant retarded attentionwhoring contrarians, like I'm doing right now.

Wasn't the first console to use cartridges made by that black guy?

The Fairchild Channel F, led by Jerry Lawson. I think it was the first to use programmable ROM cartridges that had actual games. The cartridge tech itself was invented by Wallace Kirschner and Lawrence Haskel.
