Mark Plays Videopac / Odyssey 2 part 01 of 02

[Diskoboy1974]

I thought the G7400/Odyssey 3 was supposed to have built in voice support.

#UN#, love your videos, I subscribed :) . My puppets want to say hello.

Man, reading about it, I thought it would've been a real step above the Odyssey2. Freedom Fighters they just added a background. Same game, otherwise. My two Odyssey2 faves were Pick Axe Pete and UFO! . I could play those forever. Munchkin was okay, though I preferred KC's Crazy Chase.

@aculturemind There are only a handfull 100% plus games with hires graphics. Some plussed regular games look very nice others are better just plain. KCChase is an excellent game - more creative than the KCMUnchkin one. Still I am a sucker for the latter. Thanks for the feedback!

Im looking forward to getting a G7000, the games look pretty funky :)

I found a picture of the system and it looks like the Keyboard was even cheaper then the Odyssey 2's Keyboard but added a row of keys above the number keys.

Also it seems they kept those lousy bulky uncomfortable joysticks with those notches that the joystick gets hug up in and makes it hard to play maze games

Attack of the Time Lords? Is that why Doctor Who is the last Time Lord because all the other Time Lords killed each other off in the wars?

[markvergeer]

LOL, it all comes together. Nice association. Thanks for responding.

Is attack of the Time Loards the unofficial Honeymooners in space video game? The moon looks like the moon in the beginning of the old TV show the Honeymooners staring Jackie Gleason.

[markvergeer]

Could very well have been the inspiration - we could ask the creator of the game.

[list73]

In the 1st game ( attack of the timelords ) you say u think she is called Zelda,

She is indeed called Zelda because this game was released in europe as Terrahawks after the tv show and the villan in Terrahawks was called Zelda

Are you playing on a real console or using an emulator?

[markvergeer]

I own the G7000 and the G7400 - this video was recorded using a TV in card and the original G7400 PAL console.

I have a multicart for the G7400 and tons of original games.

It is possible to emulate the Videopac/Odessey2 very well on various platforms. Just do a search for 02em in google.

[markvergeer]

I see you have been making some movies with an emulator. You're from Brazil right? In both The Netherlands and Brazil the Videopac was HUGE!

I see you got some homebrew videos up there?

[markvergeer]

You need a TV capture card with RF tuner to grab the video of this console.

Wonder why Youtube does not make this available in HQ whereas part 02 is. The mysterious ways of Youtube!

[laatmaarzien]

Lol! I just noticed KC Munchkin translated into Dutch = "Happelaar" ! Lol, thanks for that info.

I first saw KC Munchkin on the Classic Game Room, also on YouTube, it looks like a very good Pac-Man-like game.

[laatmaarzien]

Yeah, I also never had a videopac/odyssey. Cool video.

Great stuff, you could even enter your initials for a highscore.

[madmomentsgo]

never had one of these machines, good vid.
