1 sept 1972 año - Magnavox Odyssey

Descripción:

The Magnavox Odyssey is the first commercial home video game console. It was developed by a small team led by Ralph H. Baer at Sanders Associates and released by Magnavox in the United States in September 1972 and overseas the following year.

It is capable of displaying three square dots on the screen in monochrome black and white, with differing behavior for the dots depending on the game played, and with no sound capabilities. Players place plastic overlays on the screen to create visuals, and the one or two players for each game control their dots with the three knobs and one button on the controller in accordance with the rules given for the game.

The Odyssey console came packaged with dice, paper money, and other board game paraphernalia to go along with the games, and a peripheral controller - the first video game light gun - was sold separately.
