Magnavox Odyssey 100 Teardown




Magnavox Odyssey 100 Teardown

Step 1 -
The Magnavox Odyssey 100 was nothing short of
awesome (for 1975):
Black & White graphics
Two games! (tennis and hockey)
Manual scoring
Three control knobs for each player
On-board "sound"
Here's some screen shots of tennis and hockey. Can

Step 2
The Odyssey 100 had an extremely simple design. The
controls include:
Control knobs (X, Y, and ball trajectory)
Manual scoreboard sliders
I/O and game select switches
Wall position and game speed knobs
That's quite the departure from today's DualShock 3
controller, which has two analog sticks, a d-pad, and 13
buttons.
Let's see what's inside...
