The Atari 7800 ProSystem, or simply the Atari 7800, is a video game console officially released by Atari Corporation in January 1986. The 1986 launch is sometimes referred to as a "re-release" or "relaunch" because the Atari 7800 had originally been announced in May of 1984, to replace Atari Inc.'s Atari 5200, but a general release was shelved due to the sale of the company. In January 1986, the 7800 was relaunched and would compete that year with the Nintendo Entertainment...

The manual for the Fairchild Channel F video game system. Released in 1976, it was the first console ever to use interchangeable cartridges and a microprocessor, it did moderately okay before juggernaut Atari took over the market a few year later. This manual comes from a "Channel F" branded box, which was the second box revision. The manual is likely the same as the one that came from the first box, however.
