ScottyDont00 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I got lucky and won a cheap lot with the cover in it a few months back. Let me know if see another on eBay or anywhere else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Let me know if see another on eBay or anywhere else! Will do... I am always on the look out for stuff I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I am not sure if I should start another thread to ask this but it does pertain to a complete collection so here goes... Does anybody know exactly what documentation was included with the older O2 consoles? I know there is the "Wonderful World of Odyssey" packet and that is pretty well documented but I don't think the early models included it. I have had several and most included the following: Instruction Manual Warranty sheet Service sheet Registration card Some included one of the game catalogs too. Was there anything else?

metarog Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just picked this up for the collection... Pretty rare Vid Lid Plus for the O2! Looks nice on my testing console and is handy for keeping dust off and has a space for games and documentation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I've got a nearly complete US library for the O2 with a minimum of effort - the only games I had to go out of my way to find (via the internet) were Killer Bees and Wall Street Fortune Hunt, everything else turned up at local shops, yard sales or as gifts from coworkers. Just gotta locate a Power Lords! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow... To find all those games in the wild like that is tough and I rarely see Demon Attack and Atlantis even on EBay for a reasonable price. Congratulations and good luck on finding that Power Lords!

ubersaurus Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Heh, the Imagic games turned up at a yard sale near my parents' house probably around a decade ago, $2 + an Odyssey 300 pong unit. Still one of my best finds in the wild I had a former coworker who found an O2 in her attic with a bunch of boxed games, and she just gave them to me... I found a few stragglers at a flea market and a couple game stores around Detroit that stocked pre-NES titles. And then finally, Killer Bees I picked up via Facebook and Wall Street on ebay (I had seen it in shops, but never when I was in a position to pull the trigger). I've accepted I'll probably have to hit ebay for Power Lords at a decent price tag, but that's still pretty good for a system I didn't get until around 02, 03. If only I could complete my 7800 set so quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Cobra Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hello all, Sorry to resurrect an older thread. New O2 collector here and I have a question about model differences. I purchased what I think is a later O2 model with the attached joysticks. However, the model I purchased has the Odyssey 2 logo on (what seems to be) a plate on the upper left of the console... most of the ones I see online seem to have the logo screen printed directly on the console. Also, the box doesn't seem to say Magnavox anywhere. Could someone explain the lineage of this model? Is it the last model released? Released for a different market? Just curious. Thanks!

metarog Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 You probably have model BC7600 GY02 with the raised logo, rough keyboard, standard RF cable,barrel type power adapter and black attached controllers. Look under the console and there might be a small sticker with that code on it. I do believe these were later releases (1983 or so) and if you open up the console there is usually a date stamped on the inside of the bottom cover. You also have a later box type that was made when Phillips had a more direct hand in the Odyssey here in the U. S. There are actually 8 or 9 different models (I have 3) but all play US Odyssey games the same as far as I can tell. Welcome to the O2 club and post some pics of what you have if you can.

Detroit Cobra Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks metarog! I appreciate the information! I don't have the system in hand yet (it's in the mail as we speak), but the picture I have of it has the model number as BC7600 GT02. It looks like it doesn't say Magnavox above the power button either. Interesting that the later ones omitted the Magnavox name altogether.

metarog Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 The same thing happened with the games... the later reissues are all by Phillips. Heck, even the power adapters went from Magnavox to Odyssey 2 logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wow it's funny seeing an old thread of mine, lol. I now own an entire complete us Odyssey 2 collection. I plan to do a collection video of it on my YouTube channel sometime this month (just waiting on a few games to come in the mail). I'll link the video here once I push out the video.

metarog Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Looking forward to the video... if you can tell us what your last few games were and how you got the harder to find games. It is always interesting to hear about those tougher acquisitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Thanks Metarog! The last 3 games I needed were: Power Lords, Demon Attack, an Atlantis. I basically acquired all 3 via eBay, just by searching everyday for a couple years pretty much. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I made the video last night and had it rendering overnight. ..then Windows 10 thought it was am excellent idea to reset due to updates. ..now I'm back re rendering it :-( it wouldn't be soo bad if 5 minutes of video didn't take 1 hour to render!

mtshark7 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 My video of my complete Magnavox Odyssey 2 collection video is done (technically). Waiting on processing is like watching paint dry. So whenever processing is done here is the link to my video :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metarog Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Great video! You have almost as many Homebrews as official releases. I had no idea there were some many. I'll definitely subscribe to your channel as I love seeing O2 videos. Thanks again for sharing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Thanks metarog! I appreciate the support :-) I also plan to have a few Odyssey 2 let's plays before the end of the year as well.
