Odyssey 2000
 
Modified By Kevin J Baird  on 2/20/2008 11:38:51 AM






Supposedly came out in 1977 and was the same as the Odyssey 300 except it had an additional game and wider knobs.  Here's the specs for the 300 from Pong-Story.com

Magnavox continued with the Odyssey 300 in 1976, which was one of the first system to use a single game chip containing the major circuitry of a PONG system. This system was Magnavox' answer to Coleco Telstar, the first game to use the GI AY-3-8500 chip.

Well, the 2001 is a PAL clone of the 3000.  Technically the 3000 is a redesigned 2000.   So I don't have a 2001.  If I ever find one in the wild, I'd probably buy it.  The 2100 is an expanded PAL version and I own that model.

I "should" have all the rest.  Part of the reason for this forum is to organize the pictures and see what is all in the current inventory of systems I own.  Once I have everything established I'll move all the pictures to a proper page where folks can flip through them.  That'll be a long time from now though.  I still have a lot of photos to put up and boxes to dig through.  And I need to take a lot of retakes since so many pictures didn't come out.  (Blurry lens)

I "should" have all the Telstar systems as well.  Including the rare Montgomery Ward system.  There was a fleet of these made as well. 

Some notable things I am missing include Atari Pong.  I had the Tele-Games clone of it, but it was destroyed in the great kitchen flood of 1997.  I also don't have a Neo Geo Cartridge System or Neo Geo CD system.  One day I'll bite the bullet and buy one.  There are so many in the wild it has never been a priority to get one.  And my Laser-Active is broken.  I do still have it and maybe it can be repaired, but I'd really like to claim one in working order.  I also don't have a Wonderswan or a GamePark.

  That is in no-way the limit of systems I'm missing, but those are all high profile items that I should have, but currently do not.

dang, you must have an amazing collection. I think the only way for me to actully be able to collect like you is when I become rich and famous and have a big enough house and wallet for it.

about the Neo Geo, AES (home) may cost you a bit too collect; no clue about the CD version. I personaly want a modded MVS arcade board that has been turned into a console, so I can buy cheap neo geo games (MVS games are generaly cheaper then the AES counterparts). for now I will settle for the small collection that the wii has on its virtual console...

EDIT: Is it me, or does the neo geo actully look good on a HDTV?

Maybe one day I'll be able to tell you.  Right now, I don't have one so can't hook it up.

I dont have one either, but the virtual console neo geo games seem to be quite fitting for HD, but then again that may just be me

will the show be late this week since you have to add the music in on top of everything else that you normally do?

Kevin J Baird At:3:51 PM

Well if you like the Rangers, their AHL team "The Hartford Wolf Pack" crushed the Monsters yesterday.

Master_H At:2:40 PM

Go Rangers

Only by one point - and Ottawa has more losses. They're doing worse than the Maple Leafs! That's shameful!

Kevin J Baird At:10:45 PM

Ottawa is doing better than Colorado though, so don't feel too bad.

Lard At:10:32 PM

I'm embarassed to be an Ottawa fan. They are sucking hard.

Kevin J Baird At:10:31 PM

Well cool, but I can't think of a hockey question right now either.

Lard At:10:29 PM

I watch hockey! NFL sucks balls!

I can't wait to hear this episode. Sounds pretty funny.
