empsolo Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 There is also the issue that the Light Gun for the Odyssey uses a Nintendo patent for a Light Gun from the Bowling Alley Duck Hunt Game. The Color-TV Game series of clone consoles could have been part of a deal where Magnavox allowed Nintendo to distribute the Color-TV game system in japan in exchange for Magnavox including the light rifle in it's units in America.

mr_me Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Are you talking about Nintendo's 1987 patent on their target control/sensing scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empsolo Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Are you talking about Nintendo's 1987 patent on their target control/sensing scheme? There is an article about NIntendo's involvement with the Magnavox Light gun here. Edited June 26, 2018 by empsolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 For some reason, the Nintendo gun also found it's way in Europe as an accessory for some Interton consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 There was a time when Japan was used for cheap manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That Cassette Vision is interesting, the games look like a cross between early 2600 games and Odyssey 2 games. None of them look very playable though. The Super Cassette Vision is much more interesting, some of those games look fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
