Post by: HurricaneAndrew on January 14, 2011, 04:03:06 AM: Hell yeah. Something I know a bit about.

Noodle is right... That's not the original. It's the Odyssey2.

I have three of them and 15 or so games. One of the systems was bought in 1981 by my father. I still have the original boxes to the system and games, and even the original purchase receipt. It's in my room hooked up and ready to play any time.

Ah... They are fun.

FUN FACT: The first video game ever made was Noughts And Crosses in 1952, under the name of OXO.

FUN FACT THAT'S TRUE: The Magnavox oddysey was created in my home town, and we have a Magnavox road.

Actually Sypher, your fact is pretty awesome.

(If OXO isn't the first, what is?

Post by: Scorpion on January 16, 2011, 06:34:07 AM: I used to know too much about this kinda stuff, then I kinda realised that it was pointless and nowadays I barely ever play games.
Hell, the last three games I got were guitar hero W.O.R which I admittedly have played a lot because it's fun to do with mates, fable 3 which I've played about an hour of and fallout new vegas which I still haven't even started yet :rolleyes:
