    It also had a switch to make it work on channel 4 if you, for some bizarre reason, were a weirdo and needed that.

      It depends where you live. In some areas, channel 3 was a TV station, and channel 4 was blank. The video game worked best when it’s not competing against a TV station.

        you piggybacked one through another. whatever you turned on would interrupt the signal and output the system in question.

          I totally forgot about that! I think I remember a friend doing this with a NES and SNES.

          I knew some kids privileged enough to have both a SNES and a Genesis.

          It wasn’t impossible.

          Also VCRs used the same RF switching system.

          The real question was, why would you have more than one of these things on at any given time?
