Answer 3

Actually, the Fairchild was the first Commercially successful system to use interchangeable ROM cartridges. While it was nowhere near as successful as the 2600, the honor of the first one to do so belongs to the Channel F by Fairchild. The second one that did so was the RCA studio II and then the 2600.

Answer 5

The Atari 2600, released in October 1977, was the first successful video game console to use plug-in cartridges instead of having one or more games built in.[1] Originally known as the Atari VCS—for Video Computer System—the machine's name was changed to "Atari 2600" (from the unit's Atari part number, CX2600) in 1982, after the release of the more advanced Atari 5200. It was wildly successful, and during the 1980s, "Atari" was a synonym for this model in mainstream media. The 2600 was typically bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a cartridge game.
