Rev. Rob Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So, I just got my first O^2 system, and I noticed that it has two different types of plugs to go into the system. Is one for the O^2 and the other for the original? It definately fits in my original Odyssey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lynxer2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 The first Odyssey ran on batteries, not a power supply. Well, that's how my Odyssey is. I don't know anything about the O^2, since I don't own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Some Odyssey 2s will work with a 2600 power supply, while some (like mine) will work with an NES power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about the O^2, since I don't own one. No. All original Odyssey units had a power supply. It just was sold seperately. Look at the back of your unit and you will see it. FTR, it doesn't fit. Some Odyssey 2s will work with a 2600 power supply, while some (like mine) will work with an NES power supply. That explains it.

Now I have to go buy one now. I hate buying those stupid big batteries. I wonder why they sold it seperately? Damn Magnavox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked at it more like a board game... and most of its games are really just board games. Be careful to get the right kind of power adaptor. I accidentally fried on Odyssey.

Retro Rogue Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wonder why they sold it seperately? Damn Magnavox. Everything was pretty much sold seperately. Don't forget, this was the very first console - there was no precedent as to what to include, what not to include, how to market and price, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
