No Odyssey 200 either. :-( I was curious about the 4-player gameplay and also the new game, Smash. It's an interesting game: each player tries to be the last one to touch the ball before it goes off screen. Sounds like an interesting, and probably chaotic, concept.

 

On the 4 players thing, I find it suspicious that the system has the same number of knobs as the Odyssey 100. After reading the manual, it seems like you can have 4 paddles on the screen, but they are actually controlled by just two players. Two of the paddles (the outermost of each team) can't move horizontally, and each team's vertical knob moves both paddles, one of them going slower than the other. I'm not sure if 4 players could actually play this... and enjoy it.

Hey, sorry about that broken link. I'll fix.

 

And yeah, the four paddles just meant two players, with two paddles each.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. Obviously linkrot had set in before suddenly it all worked again and now we have automatically made previous and next buttons on each entry. So happy to see them.
