Actual Entry (non editable)
Odyssey 200 (c) 1975 Magnavox Company, The. It was same as the "Odyssey 100" but with two additional chips from Texas Instruments, which added a third game called SMASH and some on-screen scoring. The Odyssey 200 could be played by two or four players (first system to offer this feature), and displayed very basic on-screen scoring using small rectangles (it still had the two plastic cursors to record the scores). Each time a player marked a point, his white rectangle would shift on the right. The winner was obviously the first whose rectangle would reach the rightmost position on the screen (15 points). Although the scores were not yet digital, the Odyssey 200 remained more advanced than the first home version of Atari PONG because it played three different games for two or four players. Built-in games: Tennis, Hockey & Smash Smash was actually a Squash game. - TECHNICAL - Controls: 3 knobs for each player (vertical movements, horizontal movements, english effect) CPU: discrete components + Texas Instruments chips Switches: game selection (A, B or C), number of players (2 or 4), channel selection (3 or 4), sound (ON/OFF), power ON/OFF Colors: Black & white Sound: Built-in speaker Score: on screen (small rectangles), on system case (numbered slider) - SERIES - 1. Odyssey 100 (1975) 2. Odyssey 200 (1975) 3. Odyssey 300 (1976) 4. Odyssey 400 (1976) 5. Odyssey 500 (1976) 6. Odyssey 2000 (1977) 7. Odyssey 3000 (1977) 8. Odyssey 4000 (1977)
