Odyssey 2100
 
Modified By Kevin J Baird  on 2/22/2008 9:33:41 AM


From Pong-Story.com:  Philips also released two interesting systems which didn't have US equivalents: the Odyssey 2001 in 1977 and the Odyssey 2100 in 1978. They were sold in several countries like Germany, Belgium and Switzerland. Their case was nearly same as the one of the Odyssey 4000. The controllers were same except that the sticks were replaced by knobs. As a matter of fact, they used dedicated chips made by NS (the MM-57105 for the Odyssey 2001, and the MM-57186 for the Odyssey 2100), which only allowed moving the players vertically. The Odyssey 2001 played three games in color, and the Odyssey 2100 played six different types of games with several variants for each type, making a total of 23 games. The game selection was done by pushing the button of one of the controllers (the button of the other controller reset the games). Amazingly, the electronic circuit board occupies a sixth of the space available in the systems cases.

you could just lock the threads....as long as people keep posting new stuff, the old threads will get bumped off the screen.

Jedihillis At:9:19 AM

Ok nm. I figured out you can edit each thread with new info. I'll edit one of the old ones for the next battle to keep from dominating the screen. Good call kolop

Jedihillis At:9:16 AM

Good question Kolop. I'm not sure that it can to be honest

Can the voting be one thread only? It's going to take up a lot of threads for this game.

Jedihillis At:1:21 AM

I don't know why you can't vote. I leave each poll up for 2-3 days. Polls are only open on the most recent battle though which currently is Bison vs. Kain.
