Randomness and the Odyssey 2

Have been playing around with Odyssey 2 programming. Can't think of anything for Lowercase I. So I tried my luck programming random stuff upon startup without user input for a key. I have discovered that real hardware is much more capable of producing random values than O2EM. In fact, while O2EM does the same exact thing over and over again, on real hardware, the same exact program does only one thing the same: The first go around. Everything else is different when you power it off and turn it back on again.I wonder why this is. I also tried my hand at making a song (if you can call it that) using the Odyssey 2 built-in sounds. So I guess I am pleased with the way my little demo has turned out. I hope to use these findings and new code of mine in a new upcoming game.
