CadetStimpy Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 I blotted-out the name in the photo, of course. Quote
CadetStimpy Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 DOS76 said Magnavox Odyssey. Hahaha! I'm totally not surprised you knew it, Derek. Did you know it 'off the top of your head', or was there research involved? Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I'll be honest, my first thought was a Pong clone because of that controller, but I couldn't think of it exactly and that was on the tip of my tongue. I know my Console history... but damn. I guess it doesn't help that I woke up at 12:45 AM and couldn't go back to sleep. Quote
RiftCreeper Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Magnavox Odyssey! I only know about this because the Angry Video Game Nerd did an episode about it. Also there was a big law suit between the creator of the Odyssey and Nolan Bushnell (creator of Atari). Quote
SentaiBrad Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 ZX Spectrum... I hope. Edit: .... Or a Commodore... but I stick by Spectrum. Quote
CadetStimpy Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 Whoa, that's a tricky one. I'd guess it was actually a calculator, but there's no display. Quote
DOS76 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 I think it is a Spectrum too (without researching). As to whether I knew or not I was torn between Fairchild Channel F or Magnavox Odyssey so I searched Odyssey and saw that my first instinct was correct but I did research it before I posted in order to be sure.

CadetStimpy Posted May 6, 2016 Author Posted May 6, 2016 I dunno know, but it looks kinda cool. I can visualize it as some sort of device on the original Star Trek series. It that a Floppy Drive slot, bottom-center of Console? P.S. Since you're from the UK, I'm gonna make an uneducated guess that it's an European-only (maybe Japanese) version. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I cheated so I wont give away the answer but OMG I forgot that this thing even existed. Quote
Lordmonkus Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Well to be fair, it isn't a real console, even though the Spectrum earlier wasn't one either. It was a one of those hybrid pseudo consoles, a dumbed down pc if you will. It was made by a company that everyone thinks just shits gold ;) Quote
