Van Halbgott Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Had just bought myself a Magnavox Odyssey2 today and I wonder what the game library is like besides the sports titles. My system will come with a clone version of Pac-Man and I’ve heard of another title called Quest for the Rings for examples. Does anyone else here have a Magnavox Odyssey2 as well? I assume this is where I would post about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I like Killer Bees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Attack of the Timelord and Pick-Axe Pete are fun titles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drchuckradio Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 You've come to the right place! The KC Munchkin games are good ones. Quest for the Rings is rather unique, being an action/board game combo. UFO and Freedom Fighters are two shooters I keep coming back to. Pick Axe Pete, as mentioned, is a fun platformer, where you're climbing ladders and mining for gold. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cjherr Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 If you look on https://videopac.nl, there are some very cool home-brews being made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 The Challenger Series is where you'll want to look first: UFO! Pick-Axe Pete! Attack of The Timelord! K.C. Munchkin (I actually don't care for this one, personally, but it's popular; chances are you'll dig it) K.C.'s Krazy Chase! Smithereens! P.T. Barnum's Acrobats! Freedom Fighters! Monkeyshines! Killer Bees Turtles And if you can find it...Powerlords From the "standard" Odyssey lineup, I like these: Bowling!/Basketball! Showdown in 2100, A.D.! Computer Golf! Alien Invaders-Plus! Thunderball! Your mileage will vary much more with the standard games; they're generally considered pretty mediocre, but there's fun to be had! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with both your lists. I would just add to the "standard" list one more game, Cosmic Conflict! There, now it's perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleman jack Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I'd also recommend KTAA, which is available from Packrat Video Games website. It is one of the most fun games I've played on any system. I wish they'd release a port for the 2600 or 800. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimj Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I also enjoy Frogger, but I think that was a Videopac only release, so you'd need a multi-cart or flash cart to play it. If you have someone to play against, the already mentioned "Showdown in 2100, A.D.!" can be fun with its crazy ricochets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a f.y.i. -- Videopac games aren't region-locked, so we can actually play 'em on the O2! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really the like the two screen play of the game. Of course I had to buy a repro to play it. I also like the Atlantis (again I had to purchase a repro). Two great games I never had back in the day. One other I would put out there and it is a homebrew and that is "Spaceman SPlorf Planet of Doom". This is the most polished homebrew game for the O2 I've ever seen. Heck, it feels better then many of the original release games (music, graphics, & game play). It really shows off what can be done for the O2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome game. I would also like to add homebrews "Dungeon of Eternity" and "Sandstorm!". Both are well worth hunting down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyOasys Posted Friday at 09:27 AM Share Posted Friday at 09:27 AM Killer Bees!, Pick Axe Pete! & K.C's Crazy Chase! are my recommendations. I have yet to buy an Odyssey2 myself. I wanted to, but can't for budget reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
