Magnavox Odyssey2 Next Gen 1978


Released in 1978 aka:

Philips Videopac G7000,
Philips Odyssey
Magnavox Odyssey²
Philips Odyssey²

Unlike any other system at that time, the Odyssey² included a full alphanumeric membrane keyboard, which was to be used for educational games, selecting options, or programming, the system is probably best remembered for it's pioneering fusion of board and video games, anyone remember Quest for the rings?.

And now the marvelous people on Retro Treasures (that's us) have unearthed a beauty, the complete system boxed with owners manual and 9 games only on ebay
