The Magnavox Odyssey² (also known as the Philips Odyssey²) is a classic second-generation home video game console first released in 1978. Unlike other systems of its era, the Odyssey² combined cartridge-based gaming with a built-in alphanumeric keyboard, positioning it as both an entertainment system and an early educational computer for the home.
Best known for its unique hardware design and experimental game library, the Odyssey² carved out a lasting place in retro gaming history alongside the Atari 2600 and Intellivision. Today, the Magnavox Odyssey² is highly regarded by vintage video game collectors for its distinctive look, innovative features, and role in shaping the early home console market.
