An essentially new Odyssey 2

This properly graded as near mint, essentially new, re-sealed and complete in its box Odyssey 2 console (by Magnavox) that has been put up for auction on eBay is a thing of retro beauty and one of the few consoles to ever ship with a built-in keyboard. What's more, it comes complete with one game cartridge, manual, styrofoam inserts, Odyssey 2 catalogs, leaflets and all the required parts to get things up and running.

Seller ships worldwide.

Magnavox Odyssey 2

I always liked both the way the Maganvox Odyssey 2 looked and how it combined an 8-bit console with a home micro styled keyboard. Also, a lovely, working, boxed Odyssey 2 has been put up for auction and is accompanied by three boxed games. Better grab it, then... Seller ships to more than a few places around the globe.

Nine boxed Odyssey 2 games

If you are a lucky owner of an Odyssey 2, you'll be happy to know that eBay will let you grab 9 Odyssey 2 games in one cunning move. Said games all come in their boxes, are untested and most of them also sport a manual. Titles include Invaders from Hyperspace, Baseball, UFO, Take The money and Run, lien Invaders - Plus and Blockout! Breakdown!

Seller ships to more than a few places, but not worldwide.

The Quest for the Rings (Odyssey 2)

The Quest for the Rings for the Odyssey 2 (the US version of the Philips Videopac G7000, that is) is a beautiful video-board game hybrid, that comes in a truly impressive box filled with counters, maps etc. I'd actually go as far as saying its reason enough to own an Odyssey 2. Now, better grab this fully boxed and finely preserved Quest for the Rings box then. Seller ships worldwide.

Magnavox Odyssey 2 & games

The Magnavox Odyssey 2, also known as the Philips Videopac G7000, and a console released back in 1978 is a rather unique and oddly popular beast. You can find out more about it here and here. To emulate it try this link. Better though grab the original machine and experience its odd built-in keyboard and impressively packaged games. It usually isn't that expensive either.

This Magnavox Odyssey 2 auction seems, for example, like a good opportunity. Seller ships worldwide and, besides a fully working console, will be including 2 joysticks, 7 boxed games and all necessary bits and cables that will help you actually play on the thing.

The Quest for the Rings (Odyssey 2)

The Quest for the Rings Odyssey 2 boxThe Quest for the Rings Videopac G7000The Quest for the Rings mapWhat you see above, the complete Quest for the Rings for the Magnavox Odyssey 2 (a.k.a. the Philips Videopac G7000 in Europe), is one of the most impressively boxed video games ever released and a rare and luxuriant board game/video game hybrid. The Quest for the Rings was released in 1981 as part of the sadly short-lived Master Strategy series and you can enjoy a truly wonderful and quite related video here. Oh, and to try to grab a rather rare(-ish) and in apparently very good condition copy do follow the obvious The Quest for the Rings eBay link. Seller only ships within the US I'm afraid.
