The first video game console. It came out in 1972 by [Magnavox], and wasnt very complex at all, its sequel [the Odyssey] 2, which came out in 1978 totally ruled, then it eventually faded away as its counterparts took the market due to the Odyssey 2s lack of 3rd party game supporters. By 1983 however, the Odyssey 2 had sold over 1,000,000 units in North America! It was called the Philips VideoPac G7000 in Europe, and in Brazil, it was called the [Odyssey] because the first Odyssey was never introduced there. It was a very good system at the time. It features many new games, as well as [rip-offs] of more popular games such as Pac-man, and [Space Invaders]. Odyssey 2 systems were the first device to use the first Intel processor, the Intel 8048 cpu. Making it a marvel in the computer world as well as the video game market and collectors. The system is somewhat rare now. Over-all, the Odyssey in my view, is one of the coolest retro game systems ever!
