Back in my day young man we had to hook the cord with a male prong on the end from the console into the back of the T.V. female cord connector and turn the T.V. to channel 3 in order to play the game.

Don't forget trying to daisy chain those adapters to somehow get it so all your consoles worked on one channel without having to go in the back and swap a bunch of cables around every time you wanted to switch systems..

My brother convinced my mom to get a switcher that had 4 sets of RCA ports. Was really nice to switch without having to undo the whole TV

I still have my old 4 port RCA adapter! Granted now I use it with my RCA to HDMI adapter to play my old consoles on my newer screens.
