Location Currently not on view Credit Line Ralph H. Despite these setbacks, Magnavox Odyssey made its mark by starting the video game console industry. Many potential consumers were under the impression-sometimes encouraged by Magnavox salesmen-that Odyssey would only work on Magnavox television sets. Among the contributing factors, poor marketing played a large role. With approximately 350,000 units sold, Magnavox Odyssey was not considered a commercial success, especially in comparison with Pong’s runaway popularity. These accessories were possibly included to make the Odyssey more like the physical games that existed at the time. Our goal is to provide an objective viewpoint and information on the hardware that powers the games we all love, for both the hardware collector and gamer alike. Perhaps most surprising to modern gamers, the Odyssey also came with nonelectronic game accessories such as dice, decks of cards, play money, and poker chips.

Since the Odyssey had limited graphic capabilities and displayed only a few small white blocks and a vertical line on the screen, Magnavox included translucent color overlays to provide settings and layouts for the games. Additional games and accessories, like a lightgun, were sold in separate packages. However, months earlier, Magnavox had released its Magnavox Odyssey, a home video game system based on the “Brown Box,” a prototype invented by Ralph Baer. manufacturer Magnavox Company Description When most people think about the first video game, they think of Pong, the ping-pong arcade game released by Atari in 1972.
