VPB--- Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I think Odyssey was the 1st video game system around the world. Technically, this system was made with transistors only (resistors & capacitors too), no integrated circuits. From 1972 & 1974. A nice piece in history.

CatPix Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The Odyssey is undoublty the first consumer-sold game system. The system is made of transistors (the proto was even made of tubes... make sense when you consider that transistors in the 1960 were still a novelty, and that Ralph Baer learning on tubes, it was probably easier for him to think in a "tube logic" before trying on transistor logic). Tho from readings I got, the system isn't 100% analog, and use some DTL logic, which is binary. A very interesting machine technically wise.

Zonie Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I saw a CIB at a yard sale about 10 years ago. They were asking $100. Wasn't worth it to me, but I'm not a hardcore collector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 The price for one of these was perfectly reasonable until 1 reseller came along and bought up every unit he could cornering the market essentially. Now you can't get one for under 300 and he has an inventory of hundreds of the things. He usually has 15 - 20 for sale at any one time for $500-1000 each. Always wanted one but guess I'll have to wait till he dies to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick007 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I have an original 100 model. Bright red 3 control. I have had it since i was a young kid. I got it out of the attic today along with an Atari 2600 6 lever console. Hooked both up to the TV and both work fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
