Selena the Retro-PrincessI was playing some KC's Crazy Chase on my Videopac / Odyssey 2 last night and having a great time!
I've got The Voice module on my system and everytime it did it's wild digital laugh it would get me!
Here's a video of it - listen to what laughter on a Odyssey² digital voice sounds like!
Earl GreenStar Command (with no sign of Jason) is dispatching you to clear the space lanes of threats. Is your #Odyssey2 powerful enough to emerge victorious in this Cosmic Conflict? Time for another Phosphor Dot Fossils test flight. #retrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmXhSFTGuQY
Was it a game? Was it educational? Was it raising an army of future Chyron operators for local TV stations to hire? The intriguing, only-one-of-its-kind #Odyssey2 title Keyboard Creations! gets the Phosphor Dot Fossils tryout. #retrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LRsMXh6NVQ
Digital Mark λ ☕️ 8647@mogwai_poet Yeah, there's a beautiful book & game board, keyboard overlay, castle pieces that hide monster & Ring coins. One player sets up and punches in the scenario for each adventure. Without that, it's just a fight screen.
Same for World Conquest with magnetic world map & chips, and there's a financial game.

@mogwai_poet Also, the playfield being a 9x9 (IIRC) grid with cell on/off or left/bottom wall on/off, one color per line, meant so many maze games. Unlike the 2600, they could have a persistent, changing playfield, just kinda simplistic.

@mogwai_poet I loved that. The little guy & vehicle art is so iconic, I've reused them in some of my own games. Quest for the Rings only needs recolored guys, slashes & stars for the characters. Save the sprites for the monsters.

It's one of the final first-party games for the Odyssey2 in North America - so is this sting operation worth the buzz? Oh honey, get ready for Phosphor Dot Fossils to capture the Killer Bees! - and show you a very rare piece of #Odyssey2 hardware. #rétrogaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd91pLcLA8w
@vidak Have you played with either Atari VCS BASIC, or Odyssey^2 Computer Intro! ?
VCS BASIC is barely usable for anything, hard to enter with. Just not enough RAM.
O2CI had a thick ring-bound booklet that taught assembly language, with 99 bytes storage. Kinda cool, really, tho when I got it I was already programming real computers.

With this mod you can hookup an old Philips G7000/22 to a monitor / tv with a composite in connection..
Easy installation, no Soldering required.
I made my VideoPac G7000 Composite Mod compatible with the pin layout of the Modulator connector, so simply disconnect the connector from the modulator, plug the PCB into the connector where the connector of the modulator used to be.
