    Besides, this had good graphics for odyssey2 and is cool fun 2 player game.

  • I do think all the computer and game commercials were much better than now.. as well as the box art and the art o the side of the arcade machines were very much better than now. i miss those days and that look sometimes..

  • I had the "Quest for the rings" and that was amazing at the time.

    ...but didn't anyone notice that "the wizard of Odyssey" could actually see the future?

    "The keyboard is the key to greater challenge" is what he said, but actually, by placing a mask over the keyboard, what he was doing was to antecipate the touchscreens we have today!

    The wizard of Odyssey had seen tablets, but could not reproduce them with 80s technology! :D

  • The Wizard does look and sound very much like Freddie Jones, who played Thufir Howat in the David Lynch 1984 "Dune".

  • Hey, isnt that guy from Dune?

  • @loonmaniac It's problem was that it was initially marketed as a potential educational system as well as a video game console.....which made it quite uncool to own. We usually made fun of the one kid in a class who had this thing. My major beef with the O II now is that all the games seem to be alike....even the characters are identical.

  • was that 1982? it seems like that commercial sparked a memory but there no way i could remember that cause i was born in 81.

  • The Odyssey 2 was released shortly before I was born, and I still enjoy it. Its library wasn't huge, but it had a few really entertaining games that I was pleased to play even when new (at the time) consoles like the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis were going strong.

  • Emperor Palpatine playing a Godzilla game on the Superman's Fortress of Solitude? O_OU

  • Wow, I have Conquest of the World, awesome (combat ripoff) game.  Don't recall me and my friends ever messing with the board, but that particular game was still playable without it.

  • Yes I was, I remember when the neighbors got Pong, and a friend of mine had the Bally system.

  • Were you even alive then? I was. for its time it was a great system I thought it was a better system then the atari 2600. Games like quest for the rings were deep and kept you busy for hours. It was ahead of its time. Quest for the Rings was the first RPG done on a computer that had visuals the only other game was Zork but that was text only and was only on college Mainframes. before you trash something maybe you should play it first.
