Magnavox Odyssey2 is here!

Fire up some Pick Axe Pete
Our neighbor friend had an Odyssey. Lots of fond memories playing it with them.
My parents somehow ended up with one of these when I was like 3. We weren't exactly rich so I've always wondered if it fell off the back of a truck or something. The only games that come to mind are a word scramble and an overhead racing game. Pretty sure we had a few more but that was a loooooong time ago.
One thing I learned from growing up in a not too well of family, is that things that fell off a truck, never actually fell off a truck.
Interestingly, we use the same “excuse” in Dutch! (van een vrachtwagen gevallen)
Sweet! Any good games on it? I love trying new systems!
So far, K.C. Munchkin is my only game.
Looks good!
I had the Odyssey (with overlays). Regret giving it to a collector before I moved continents, I'd love to get it hooked up and working!
Man that screen brings back memories!
My aunt bought one of these when it came out and I played it all the time at our family cabin in the early 2000s. I thought it was super cool because it had a full keyboard and actual joysticks when I was only used to my GBC, PSX, and PC racing wheels/pedals.
