However, the games were all included on the circuitry; the cartridges were nothing more than a series of jumpers to select the game. When the [[Fairchild Channel F]] and the [[Atari 2600]] released in 1976 and 1977 respectively, which both featured programmable ROM cartridges, Magnavox responded with the Odyssey2 (also known as the Philips Videopac G7000 or the Philips Odyssey). While inferior graphically and with a smaller library than it’s competitors, the Odyssey2 managed to last until the crash of 1983. | |
