The [Magnavox Odyssey](/museum/magnavox-odyssey/) of 1972 is generally considered the first home video game console. Its museum page is back, with photos of the console and its unusual controllers.

Its successor, the [Odyssey 100](/museum/magnavox-odyssey-100/), is online too. Both belong to the consoles section, which will grow as more pages are recovered.
