Magnavox Odyssey 500 (1976)

The Magnavox Odyssey 500 was released in 1976, and was very advanced in that time because of the technology. It was in statement the only system of its kind. As a trouble of detail, the white paddles representing players replaced by simple graphics: two tennis players with their rackets (TENNIS game), two squash players (SQUASH), or two hockey players holding their sticks (HOCKEY).

Magnavox released Magnavox Odyssey 2000, 3000 and 4000 in 1977. Magnavox Odyssey 5000 was intended but never released. It was intended to have 24 games (7 different types) for two or four players. The Odyssey 4000 was the last PONG video game system released by Magnavox.
