+SabertoothRetro Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I picked up this "broken" O2 and games lot for $15.50 plus shipping. Twenty minutes, some electronics cleaner and a salvaged RF cable later and she is running like a champ. I didn't have an O2 growing up but it was one of the first systems I ever played. My cousin had one and it was a fixture at his sleepovers until the age of Nintendo. I have especially vivid memories of playing Demon Attack. The unit is a little worn and the boxes are not collector grade but I'm really glad I snagged this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahuffman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Very nice! I have to get an O2 someday, I really want to play some Kc Munchkin on the real hw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have an Odyssey 2 and it is the best system not counting the Atari 2600. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You picked up some of the best games too: Attack of the Timelord, UFO, both the KC games.... There is a 233-in-1 multi cart available from John Dondzila. He is selling it now for $40 plus shipping. There's also a healthy homebrew scene. A new homebrew just came out yesterday: http://www.2600connection.com/features/wildlife/features_wildlife.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nice! I have the european counterpart, the Philips VideoPac G7000 with all the games and some homebrews. I didn't have this console back then, so no childhood memories, but it has some nice games coming along with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotwo Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 $15.50 for a videopac G7000 /O2 with all those boxed games is a STEAL! I mean look. Even the cat is shocked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, great find there. I never play mine but I probably would if I had KC's Crazy Chase, one of the most fun games of any console from that generation. You have the Voice? If not, get one! Makes Crazy Chase even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I never play mine but I probably would if I had KC's Crazy Chase, one of the most fun games of any console from that generation. You should hit up eBay - you can find a copy there for under $10 plus shipping. That's one of the biggest pluses for O2 collection, the systems and the games are actually quite affordable, even when compared to common 70s systems like the 2600.

Manoau2002 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah thats a super deal. The kc games in particular are really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Great find! It's a nice system when you get on the good games, and you wish they was more to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I'm really enjoying the KC games so far and I can't wait to dig into Attack of the Timelord! and UFO! I may have to check out the Voice and multicart. This could be the start of a new console collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I found a Voice for 25$ on eBay this summer, and I got the C7060 multicart; it really worth it! Especially if you are an European and can also access the Videopac+ games (tho most of them really just add Hi res background...) The Voice is IMO a better and cheaper pick up for you.

+wongojack Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Also, you might want to check out the Odyssey2/Videopac forums here: http://www.videopac.nl/forum/ I just got my first O2 as well.

+LS650 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) This note is posted in the admin forum on videopac.nl. I do recommend you go to the trouble of registering if you are an O2 owner; there are only an average of two or three new posts per day, but sometimes it is the only source of info for new homebrew releases for the O2/Videopac.... So you want to become a member of this forum. « on: September 18, 2012, 07:19:17 PM » QuoteRecently I am getting swamped with new member requests by web-bots.
