Ed Averett's Magnavox Odyssey 2 Inspiration Pack

[SuperPacMan]

Hi. I bought Ed Averett's Magnavox Odyssey 2 Inspiration Pack and made a video about it. I go over the pros and cons while playing some games. Overall, I really like the collection and would like to see another volume of this with newer homebrew titles.

I'm a huge O2 fan. Love the idea of this, and the packaging.

 

I found the sounds were very off on my Phoenix, to the point where I don't want to play the games this way (maybe sounds a little better on a real cv? Hard to tell from your video). The color clash issues (when one object touches another) bothered me a little.

 

The slowdown issues bothered me a bit more. For example, on Attack of the Timelord, there was some major slowdown when the enemy ships came out of the spiral thingy (but that's not part of gameplay), and the regular game felt slightly, but not terribly, slower. I had generally the same experience of other games feeling slightly slower as well...

 I'll add that Take The Money And Run doesn't work. Well, the game boots but the controls don't work properly. Unplayable.

No wonder I wasn’t able to do anything in that game. Thank you.
