The Philips Odyssey 2100 — European Pong Console

The Philips Odyssey 2100 was a dedicated Pong-style television game console from Philips — produced during the first wave of home gaming in the late 1970s before the company’s more sophisticated Videopac G7000 cartridge system. Philips, as one of Europe’s largest consumer electronics companies, participated in the initial home gaming boom with dedicated game consoles before transitioning to cartridge-based systems. The Odyssey 2100 bears the Odyssey name licensed from Magnavox — the same brand as the world’s first home game console — giving it a nominal connection to gaming history’s earliest chapter while representing the simpler dedicated-chip gaming of the late 1970s.
