The Magnavox Odyssey², known in Europe as the Philips Videopac G7000, in Brazil as the Philips Odyssey, in the United States as the Magnavox Odyssey² and the Philips Odyssey², and also by many other names, is a home video game console released in 1978.
In the early 1970s, Magnavox was an innovator in the home video game industry. They succeeded in bringing the first home video game system to market, the Odyssey, which was quickly followed by a number of later models, each with a few technological improvements (Magnavox Odyssey series). In 1978, Magnavox, now a subsidiary of North American Philips, released the Odyssey², its new second-generation video game console.
In 2009, the video game website IGN named the Odyssey² the 21st greatest video game console, out of its list of 25.
The original Odyssey had a number of removable circuit cards that switched between the built-in games. With the Odyssey², each game could be a completely unique experience, with its own background graphics, foreground graphics, gameplay, scoring, and music. The potential was enormous, as an unlimited number of games could be individually purchased; a game player could purchase a library of video games tailored to his or her own interest. Unlike any other system at that time, the Odyssey² included a full alphanumeric membrane keyboard, which was to be used for educational games, selecting options, or programming (Magnavox released a cartridge called Computer Intro! with the intent of teaching simple computer programming).

Classic Game Room - UFO! review for Magnavox Odyssey 2
Introduced in 1978, the Magnavox Odyssey2 is overlooked by many video game enthusiasts (I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago), but it is a classic in its own right, with a unique, stylish design and simple but fun games. Unfortunately some of the best games for the system, such as "Attack of the Time Lord", are also the hardest to find since they came right at the end of its lifespan, but you can get an Odyssey2 Multicart which contains all of the games that were ever released for it, as well as some newly created ones.
Oh dear, we've gone really retro this time, haven't we? Maganvox Odssey Squared (2) is a piece of dung, really. Oh well, it was fun to review.

Well, I was standing in line at the city bus stop
Soaked to the skin from every rain drop
I see you driving by just like a Phantom Jet
With your arm around some little Brunette
You say you won't be home because you're working late
Honey, I'm no fool, you've been out on a date
The lipstick on your collar gives your game away
It's strawberry red and mine's pink roses
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well, I called you up on the telephone
I could hear you was playin' 'Haggard and Jones'
I knew right then that there was something wrong
There's only one reason you play cheatin' songs
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Well, I went up to the bank with my little check book
The cashier he gave me the strangest look
He said you ain't got no money 'cause you're over drawn
Your man took it all and he's a done gone
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, can't you see
Baby, baby, have mercy on me
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
You treat me so bad I'm in misery
It's breaking my heart, honey, can't you see
