Actual Entry (non editable)
Odyssey 500 (c) 1976 Magnavox Company, The. Very advanced for the time considering the technology used. It was in fact the only system of its kind. The white paddles representing the players were replaced by simple color graphics: two tennis players with their rackets (TENNIS game), two squash players (SMASH), or two hockey players holding their sticks (HOCKEY). On the control panel, one can find two switches: one to select the playfield (a wall on the left, a central net or two walls with goals), and the other one to select player graphics. That's why the box claims there is a fourth game, Soccer. It's in fact a combination of the "hockey" playfield and "smash" player graphics. Built-in games: Tennis, Smash, Hockey - TECHNICAL - Controllers: 3 knobs for each player (vertical movements, horizontal movements, english effect) Switches: game selection, players graphic selection, power on/off Scoring: On screen Colors: Yes Sound: Built-in speaker - 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)
