Magnavox Odyssey 300 - My first Pong console!

Post by Czernobog »

So I recently celebrated my birthday with a couple close friends, my siblings and the folks. It was quite nice and a very pleasant day. My darling mother hands me a rather large gift-wrapped box, which I presumed was new clothing that I have been needing or some other motherly-type gift.

Imagine my surprise when it's a CIB Magnavox Pong console! The box is pretty beat-up with tape holding parts of it together, but the console itself is rather minty and works like new. I don't have my camera currently but will take some pics of it as soon as I get the camera back. I never knew how excited a Pong console would make me, but I have had quite a bit of fun with it already. I'm thinking of dedicating an old tiny CRT entirely to it and having sort of a little Pong station set up.

I have one of these. They're probably the most attractive pong consoles out there. Sleek and 70s futuristic. Compare Atari Super Pong or the APF TV Fun. Ugly.
