The Odyssey 2000, released in 1977, is almost an [Odyssey 300](/museum/magnavox-odyssey-300/) with one more game (practice, for one player).
|
|
|
|
In fact, and as opposed to previous Magnavox Odyssey systems (except the Odyssey 300), the Odyssey 2000 uses the famous AY-3-8500 chipset from General Instruments. This chip offers 4 black & white pong games: Tennis, Hockey, squash (here called Smash) and Practice (squash for 1 player).
