| The Luxor Video Entertainment Computer (VEC) is a Swedish-made clone of the Fairchild Channel F console, released around the late 1970s to early 1980s. Built under license from Fairchild, the VEC implements the Channel F’s microprocessor-based design and ROM cartridge system, making it one of the earliest European second-generation gaming consoles. Internally, the Luxor VEC uses the Fairchild F8 CPU, supports removable cartridges (called “Videocarts”), and features similar graphics and sound capabilities to the Channel F. Most known titles are identical to Channel F games, and the controller design—including digital joystick and paddle input—is consistent with the original. Two main versions are known: the original model with fixed wired controllers and a later “VEC II” system with removable controllers. The console outputs via RF composite video to a TV, and retains features like pause functionality (“Hold” button) and system reset. |
