Here's a clip that shows two tech-savvy, geeky men playing video games in a tech store during the 1980s. 

Clip begins with the men setting up a video card game. There are close-ups of the video monitor. 

Several games are on display in the tech store, including: an Atari Video Computer System, Code Name: Sector, and Fairchild Channel F’s Videocart 5, 7, 9, and 12. These videocarts are collections of games that can be played on "Fairchild Channel F," a home video game console, which was similar to the video game console by Atari.
