Mon, 6 Aug 2007 03:31:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - I guess it’s a law here in the States, but every summer your folks have to ship you away from home somewhere for a week so they can regain some semblance of sanity. Most of my friends either went off to camp, or to spend time with a divorced...

Magnavox Odyssey2: The Excitement Of A Game. The Mind Of A Computer.

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 19:46:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author monstroth - Reading these other reviews I think you get the idea that the Odyssey 2 is a unique system, has a keyboard, has good joysticks, and has some cool games. Let's take a different approach to looking at this legendary paradox of a video game system...

Magnavox Odyssey2: The Keyboard Is The Key

Mon, 2 Dec 2002 20:58:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chilliwack - This is an above average computer video game system. It has, unlike any other, a keyboard that is used for a wide variety of things, like choosing game options, selecting skill levels, starting game sequences, programming mazes, entering name or...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Critiquing The Odyssey 2

Wed, 27 Nov 2002 20:40:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cvgmaster - INTRO:

The Magnavox Odyssey 2 was in production from 1978 to 1983. Between 78’ and 80’ it was arguably the best system to own and possibly the best selling. In early 1980, however, a few things happened: Atari decided to license out Space...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Bleeping Blooping Cool Man!

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 02:41:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author syncsound - There has not been and never will be a computer video games system like this again. It is the bleepingest, bloopingest, boomingest, robotic voicingest, and coolest system ever to come out of the late 70's and early 80's. It is truly unique!

Magnavox Odyssey2: Easiest retro system to collect.

Fri, 19 Jul 2002 17:03:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author trillig - Easy system I think to collect because there are no 3rd party titles that I know of and most titles sold 300,000 to over a million units.

Some elaborate combo board/video games for the system, I am waiting on Quest for the Rings, I very...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Probably The Best All Around System Of That Time

Thu, 13 Jun 2002 17:21:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cubiczar - Before I start with the review I would suggest that if you want to get one of these off of ebay you might want to search under the "Video Games" category. Search for Odyssey or Odyssey 2 (Space between the Odyssey and the 2). You can also search Odyssey...

Magnavox Odyssey2: The Ultimate Computer Video Game System?

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 17:20:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author StarSoldier1 - ODYSSEY 2 (1978-1993) This is the official sequel to the original Odyssey (the first real video game system ever), here is Magnavox's Odyssey 2! Unfortunately, this poor man's Atari 2600 featured a new build in keyboard to play some more...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Inferior to even other 70's consoles, but still has its charms.

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 02:22:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author stinky138 - The Magnavox Odyssey 2 isn't the best of the console video games systems from the 1970's. It's technologically inferior to the Intellivision, Bally Astrocade and even the Atari 2600. Any of those three systems beat the Odyssey 2 hands down -- they all...

Magnavox Odyssey2: I've Finally Found You!

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 16:58:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author conter7 - In the mid 1970's, Magnavox came out with a video console called the Odyssey and I can say that I was part of one those families that enjoyed the "latest" technology of that particular time period.

It is called the Odyssey. It was...

Magnavox Odyssey2: The good, bad, and ugly

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 17:00:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author aindovin - Yay! Odyssey 2! An affordable keyboard? Great! What do I do with this keyboard? Well, not much.

This system was to compete with Atari and Intellivision, and I was one of the few to have it.

You must really love gameplay over graphics,...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Simpler Games, Simpler Graphics and Simpler Times

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 00:26:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Schankel1 - I remember being just a 5-year old boy who thought he was the king of the world because he was able to play video games in the comfort of his own living room. Odyssey made that possible. All of my friends had the more high-tech Ataris and...

Magnavox Odyssey2: It had potential that sadly was not taken advantage of.

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 01:19:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author firebird1 - The Odyssey2 is the first game system I remember. I do not know when my parents got it but I do remember playing games on it. They had some educational games which I vaigly remember and some funner arcade type games. One of them was a race car game and...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Not bad if you have The Voice.

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 01:22:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Well, here's an opinions that's sure to annoy those that love the Odyssey2. I love the fact that there is a section here on Epinions now where I can ramble on and on about "classic" console games. While my memories of the Odyssey2 are fond, I'm no longer...

Magnavox Odyssey2: The Games were so much fun...

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 12:59:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author edsel99 - What happened to the graphics? I recently took a trip down the old gaming graveyard. The Magnavox Odyssey2 was what I came up with. Actually I didn’t really come up with it I more tripped over it. Wandering through my parents attic I came across a...

Magnavox Odyssey2: Watch out Pong!

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 11:24:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - The first gaming system I owned was a Christmas present from my parents. The Magnavox Odyssey2 was at one time, (1978) one of the better systems out there, IMHO. Their version of Pacman (KC MUNCHKIN) had a piece of hardware you could add to allow for...
