It's like a more limited Atari 2600. A bunch of the games actually work with physical board-game type games that go along with the cartridge, though, which is pretty cool.

No, that's the original Odessy.

No, it's not. I've got an Odyssey2 right next to me, with Quest for the Rings right near it.

If you're into real retro stuff, it's a fun system.

theres a reason you hear the atari name alot and not the odyssey.

its a very nice thing to have from a collection standpoint but you'll probably find yourself quite disinterested in it after a few minutes.

my uncle had one when I was a kid along with a butt tonne of games for it and I played quite a bit of it as a kid. picked one up for myself a few years back and it was kinda a wow this sucks type of moment. Also you'll find out the manuals are important, hadnt a clue how to play most of the games.
