Magnavox Odyssey 2

Released in 1978, the Odyssey 2 was part of the second generation of home video games consoles. The Atari 2600 was also a member.

The Odyssey 2 featured a membrane keyboard which offered no tactile feedback, but was functional. The system featured two standard one-button joysticks. In the first version of the system, these joysticks could be unplugged from the main unit. Later revisions moved to a hard-wired approach.

The games were simple. Not quite as refined as the 2600's better titles, but still fun. The European version (known as the Videopac) enjoyed much more success.
