Philips Videopac Computer - G7000 aka Magnavox Odyssey² - 
Here you find other
vintage computer collectors items.
Tested, in working order - including game cardridge "Golf" Nr 10. I have two of this consoles and now one is for sell - Console and Joysticks are tested and working well. It is the rare version with detachable joysticks and PSU!
The Videopac
computer was released by a number of Philips daughter
companies all over the world, and is also known as the Magnavox Odyssey² in the United States, and the Odyssey in Brazil.
Radiola released it as the Jet series, and Brandt released
it under the Jopac name. Released by Philips in the
late seventies of the previous century, this console
might not have been the most advanced system of its
time, but did manage to capture the heart of a lot of
people.
Magnavox (which merged with Philips in 1974) released
the Odyssey² in 1978 to compete with brand new
cartridge based video game systems like the Atari VCS,
RCA Studio II or Fair-Child Electronics Channel-F. The
Videopac G7000 is the european version of the Magnavox
Odyssey². It was sold by Philips and was only available
in Europe. Other brands (related to Philips) sold the
same system in Europe too : Radiola JET 25, Schneider
G7000, Siera G7000 and Philips C52 (only available in
France).
You turn on the console simply by plugging it in. The
words "Videopac Computer" are stenciled to
the left of the cartridge slot. Some G7000 models have
hardwired black joysticks (with black fire buttons),
while others have detachable silver joysticks.
Like most European electronic devices, the G7000 runs
on the PAL electrical standard. However, most (but not
all) G7000 cartridges will still function on American
Odyssey² units.
It sounds pretty unreal, the name 'Philips Bulb Factory'
on cartridges for a game console. But it was reality,
al least with the first cartridges for the Videopac,
also known as G7000. A console with which the Dutch
firm Philips had reasonable success in Europe at the
end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties.
The American equivalent, the Odyssey 2 manufactured
by Philips' subsidiary Magnavox, even took the third
place for some time, behind the Mattel IntelliVision
and the Atari VCS 2600.

Philips VideoPac - G7000 aka Magnavox Odyssey 2 - 
Hier finden Sie meine anderen
Computer Sammlerstücke.
Voll funktionsbereit (getestet), mit Netzteil und 2 abnehmbaren Joysticks (selten). Der Computer wurde geprüft und funktioniert, ebenso die Joysticks. Kommt mit dem original Modul 10 - "Golf". Guter Zustand in anbetracht des Alters.
Die G7000 Konsole
von Philips ist eine frühe (1978) Videospielkonsole,
die ähnliche Daten wie die damalige Konkurrenz
aufweist (z.B. Atari VCS2600). Allerdings ist das G7000
sehr schnell und von Haus aus mit einer Folientastatur
versehen. In Amerika wurde die Konsole
als Magnavox Odyssey² verkauft (Magnavox war eine US-Tochtergesellschaft
von Philips).
Die Konsole wurde immer mit zwei 8-Wege-Joysticks geliefert,
bei älteren Revisionen sind diese fest mit dem
Gerät verbunden (diese hat fest verbundene). Dies
ist die erste, seltene Version mit internem Netzteil.
Die Konsole ist getestet und funktioniert. Die G7000
hat nur leichte Gebrauchsspuren (sehen Sie die Bilder).
Das G7000 hat keinen Netzschalter, die Videopac-Module
müssen also entweder im Betrieb gewechselt werden
(was normalerweise auch kein Problem darstellt), weniger
Mutige müssen zum Modulwechsel das Netzteil aus
der Steckdose ziehen.
Sie erhalten.:
- Grundgerät (mit alphanumeric membrane
keyboard)
- 2 original JoysticksMorse Golf
