Podcasts about Magnavox Odyssey

We take a seat along the banks of the Merrimack River in Manchester NH where we meet the Father of the ...

The Magnavox Odyssey 2 was a contender early on in the video game console world. It had a lot going for it, but it was up against a gaming juggernaut, the Atari 2600, and just couldn't keep up. Still it is a memorable system and worth spending some time remembering. So, on todays, show I will talk about this often overlooked gaming console. I begin by talking about my childhood encounter with the Odyssey came about because of a case of mistaken identity. It was a magical find and surprising highlight of a few family visits that were to follow. Then I move onto the console itself, discussing its predecessor, creator, development, games, accessories, and much more. I also sprinkle a good amount of retro audio into the show and return to reading a little bit from the paper. Nothing excessive, but it a few highlights from around the time of the console's release. This included another pop culture TV event that I think was worth mentioning. We have had a lot of consoles that failed. Ones that didn't last long, but I believe by all measures, the Odyssey 2 was a success. That is why I think it is a shame that not enough people have heard of it or have forgotten it. So please join me while I share the history and some information about Magnavox Geewhizbang console, the Odyssey 2.

In this episode of Game Changers, Jackson Vaughan breaks down the evolution of console business models—from the Magnavox Odyssey's one-time hardware sale in the 1970s to today's mix of subscriptions, digital storefronts, and cloud gaming. Along the way, we explore how the introduction of game cartridges sparked the rise of third-party developers, how Nintendo's 30% licensing fee shaped the modern industry, and why console makers began selling hardware at a loss to win long-term loyalty. With Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo now deploying distinct strategies—cloud-first, ecosystem-focused, or exclusive-driven—the business of consoles is more complex than ever. What does the future hold? Portability, mobile connectivity, and new monetization models may be just the beginning. Liked what you heard? Subscribe for weekly newsletter episodes!

Guest: Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard; and Bing Gordon, general partner at Kleiner PerkinsIn 2020, when President Trump signed the executive order that would ban TikTok in the U.S., Bobby Kotick called his old friend Steven Mnuchin. The former Secretary of the Treasury told him that, if TikTok's U.S. operations were to be sold to an American company, Microsoft would be the only bidder.A couple calls later, he reached ByteDance founder and CEO Zhang Yiming, who said he'd rather sell to Bobby than Microsoft. Concerned about his ability to get the deal done solo, Bobby called Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and offered to make a joint bid. Nadella declined, but added, “ if the deal doesn't get done, we should sit down and talk about us buying Activision.” TikTok currently remains Chinese-owned, but three years later, Microsoft paid $75 billion for Activision Blizzard.Chapters:Mentioned in this episode: Harvard-Westlake School, Alison Ressler, Vivendi, Berkshire Hathaway, Bruce Hack and Arnaud de Puyfontaine, John Riccitiello and EA, Call of Duty, Bizarre Creations, Atari, Apple II, Commodore 64, Jean-Louis Gassée, Apple Lisa, Howard Lincoln, Philips, Magnavox Odyssey, Sutter Hill Ventures, Infocom and Zork, Toys-R-Us, Howard Hughes, E.

Heutzutage gibt es verschiedene Videospiel-Konsolen, wie etwa die Playstation, die Xbox oder auch die Nintendo Switch. Angefangen hat alles aber mit drei leuchtenden Punkten auf dem Fernsehbildschirm, als 1972 mit der Odyssey die aller erste Videospielkonsole auf den Markt kam.

Weihnachten steht vor der Tür, die Zeit der Harmonie! Der perfekte Moment also, für ein Geoff-Keighley-Hatefest! Außerdem sprechen wir über Videospiel-Pionier Ralph Baer und die Entstehung der ersten Videospielkonsole, der Magnavox Odyssey. Und dann geht's natürlich auch noch raus auf das frostbedeckte Feld, wo die hübschesten GOTYs des Jahres 2014 glücklich im Schnee tollen.

Pong is a table tennis–themed twitch arcade sports video game, featuring simple two-dimensional graphics, manufactured by Atari and originally released on 29 November 1972. It is one of the earliest arcade video games; it was created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise assigned to him by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, but Bushnell and Atari co-founder Ted Dabney were surprised by the quality of Alcorn's work and decided to manufacture the game. Bushnell based the game's concept on an electronic ping-pong game included in the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home video game console. In response, Magnavox later sued Atari for patent infringement.

They quickly developed and released a sequel named "Donkey Kong Jr.," which featured the son of Donkey Kong attempting to rescue his father from the evil clutches of the character formerly known as Jumpman, but now named Mario. Despite Mario being the “bad guy” (for the first and only time in his career), the game was another huge success for Nintendo.  In 1983, Mario finally got a chance to be the star, when he and his brother Luigi (now billed as plumbers from New York) were tasked with defeating numerous creatures attempting to rise from the sewers of their beloved city in the successful arcade game "Mario Bros." On July 15, 1983, Nintendo (and Mario) leaped out of the arcade and into millions of living rooms for the first time, with the release of the home console Family Computer (Famicom for short) in Japan. Sales soared domestically, and after a year of market testing in select U.S. locations, the Nintendo Entertainment System—renamed and redesigned for the American market—was released nationwide in September of 1986. The system launched with 17 available games, including a new game featuring everyone's favorite plumber: "Super Mario Bros." By 1988, Nintendo had a stranglehold on the American console market, and thanks to the automatic inclusion of "Super Mario Bros" with later versions of the NES, the connection between character and company was reinforced.   More: 5 of the Most Influential Early Video Games 'Pong,' 'Space Invaders' and 'Pac-Man' helped spawn a juggernaut industry.   https://www.history.com/news/top-early-home-video-games-pong-pacman excerpt: “Pong” may not have been the first home video game, but it was the first major video game hit—one that launched the Atari home console dynasty and, arguably, an entire industry. Atari founder and “Pong” creator Nolan Bushnell and his partner Ted Dabney had had a surprise juggernaut in 1972 with the arcade version of the game, which had improved on the basic “Table Tennis” concept by adding sound, scoring and spin. Magnavox sued for copyright infringement; Atari settled by paying an exclusive licensing fee. They then adapted it for home play. First sold exclusively in Sears as a limited edition Sears-branded console, Atari's home “Pong” became one of the retail giant's best-selling items of the 1975 holiday season. Atari soon released its own branded version of “Pong,” helping to popularize its 2600 gaming console (launched in 1977), which became the most popular home game machine of its era, selling some 30 million units before being discontinued in 1992.

En este nuevo episodio de La Orden De La Noche Podcast, nos adentramos en el fascinante mundo de los juegos mentales, explorando sus orígenes desde los inicios de los videojuegos hasta su evolución actual. ¿Se han utilizado los videojuegos para controlar la mente, y cuál es su verdadera finalidad? Comenzamos recordando los humildes comienzos de los videojuegos, cuando los primeros juegos eran simples líneas y formas en pantallas de televisión. Hablamos sobre la increíble mente de Alan Turing y su visión de lo que podrían ser los primeros videojuegos. Descubrimos cómo Douglas programó algunos de los primeros juegos y cómo Artur Samuel nos asombró con su juego de ajedrez de inteligencia artificial. En 1962, el mundo cambió con la llegada de Space Warl, un juego revolucionario que combinaba ciencia, física e ingeniería, desarrollado por Steve Russell. Exploramos la historia de Nolan Bushnell, el visionario creador de ATARI, y su impacto en la industria de los videojuegos. Además, no podemos olvidar a Bill Pitts, el distribuidor de Space Warl que lo convirtió en el pionero Galaxy Game en los arcades. Ralph Baer y la Magnavox Odyssey también tienen un lugar en esta historia, siendo los precursores de las consolas de videojuegos en nuestros hogares. Pero no todo es historia en este episodio. Nos aventuramos en el misterioso mundo de los mensajes ocultos en los juegos, incluyendo el enigma de The Yummer en el juego de Bob Esponja. Desde la leyenda de la Máquina Misteriosa Polybius hasta los avances tecnológicos con el Apple Vision, exploramos cómo los videojuegos han evolucionado más allá de lo que podríamos haber imaginado. Únete a nosotros mientras desentrañamos los secretos y las historias detrás de estos juegos que han capturado nuestra imaginación y han desafiado nuestras mentes. ¡Prepárate para sumergirte en el intrincado mundo de los juegos mentales en este nuevo episodio de La Orden De La Noche Podcast!Distribuido por Genuina Media

Pong and Atari are known for being pioneers of the video game industry, but they weren't the first. This week we discussed some of these early video games including Tennis for Two and the Magnavox Odyssey. Apple has finally opened the App Store up for video game streaming services. Previously, apps like Xbox Game Pass were blocked by the App Stores' policies because each and every video game included in the Game Pass collection would need to be Apple approved. This red tape has now been removed, opening the door for Game Pass, GeForce Now, and other services. Microsoft has cancelled a new Blizzard survival game that was in development after 6 years of development, alongside a flurry of layoffs that resulted in 1900 people being let go (8% of the gaming division's staff).

2022 feiert die digitale Spielkultur unter anderem 50 Jahre Atari und 40 Jahre Commodore 64. Wie attraktiv ist Games-Geschichte heute, wann ist und wann wird was und warum retro, und wie groß ist der Markt mit der ludischen Nostalgie? Michaela Pichler, Rainer Sigl und Robert Glashüttner sind in einer neuen Ausgabe des Games-Kränzchens FM4 Extraleben auf historischer Spurensuche. Außerdem eine wichtige Ergänzung, die wir bei der Aufnahme schändlich übersehen haben: 1972 ist auch das Magnavox Odyssey erschienen, die tatsächlich erste kommerzielle Videospielkonsole der Welt!

Ralph Baer fled Nazi Germany and settled in America where he eventually created the first home video game console, known as the Magnavox Odyssey. Not long after Ralph's creation, Jerry Lawson, a Black computer engineer, built on that idea and lead the team that created the first video game cartridge. Both men have very interesting lives, and are a huge part of gaming history. Things they did changed your life!

Join us for a conversation with long-time translator and current CEO of Dragonbaby, Jeremy Blaustein. Explore with us the point of diminishing returns in gaming tech while learning about the "Mary, marry, merry" test, the versatility of the Magnavox Odyssey, and the comics that influenced Jeremy's writing! | Ninja Art Attribution: https://www.freepik.com/vectors/ninja-logo Ninja logo vector created by freepik - www.freepik.com Music from Kawaii! - Bad Snacks | Royalty Free Music - No Copyright Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXf8_Ft9-Lc --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gaminggaidenpodcast/message

В этом выпуске мы рассказываем историю игровых консолей - о родоначальнице MagnaVox Odyssey и несчастной o Fairchild Channel F, о Dendy и Sega Megadrive, о войне консолей и их дурном влиянии на ПК-игры в 2000-ые, о GameBoy и Nintendo Switch.

As we start Year 3 of podcasting, we're learning all about the very 1st commercial video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey. We'll start with the career of its creator, Ralph Baer, now known as the father of video games. Our discussion will then focus on the console itself, how it was made, and what it was exactly. Afterwards, we'll talk about, aside from being a console, what it gave to the gaming community. Finally, we'll briefly look at other consoles in the 1st generation.   Join us for a historical trip down Memory Card Lane.

Previously Baer had demoed the Brown Box to many other TV manufacturers including RCA, GE, Zenith, Sylvania, and Magnavox themselves without any licensing agreements. A licensing agreement with RCA was written but canceled in March of that year. It was this demo with Magnavox's VP of Marketing present that would eventually lead to the creation of the first home video game system, the Magnavox Odyssey, and the birth of the video game industry. --- [Marc's Mumbles Whiskey Details]: Starts at 40:52--- [Gadgets and Gear (with Gwen Way)]: Starts at 42:56ONE Pro Portable Tire Inflator - 4X Faster and Extra Smart on Kickstarter --- [Mike's Mesmerizing Moment brought to us by StoriCoffee®]: Starts at 49:12--- [Nugget of the Week]: Start at 52:12Reshow Cassette Player – Portable Tape Player Captures MP3 Audio Music via USB – Compatible with Laptops and Personal Computers – Convert Walkman Tape Cassettes to iPod Format --- [Pick of the Day]: Starts at 53:21Four Roses Small Batch Select | 104 Proof | $64.95 Mike: Thumbs Up Nathan: Thumbs Up

We have tried to remake the Atari 2600 version into a Commodore 64 version, but also added our own touch to the game.  https://megastyle.itch.io/esb-by-megastyle  NEW RALLY-X (news item from Indie Retro News) - The original game Rally-X was an overhead maze game released in the 1980's by Namco in which you drove around a maze like screen collecting flags for a high score and avoiding other cars or well play placed rocks. This latest version however by Jake79 is not only coming on really nicely and sounds fantastic even at this preview stage, but the game is well on its way to completion, and we may have a final version in the near future.  http://www.indieretronews.com/2022/05/new-rally-x-arcade-conversion-of-rally.html  Download - https://www.dropbox.com/s/s402tkv784yjh8i/rallyx64v035.prg?dl=0  Munchkin 64 - Re-live Munchkin, the classical maze-eater (also known as K.C.

Ralph Baer io me lo immagino un po' così. Come la pagina che non hai letto sul grande libro dei computer e dei videogiochi. Lì, tra le righe dimenticate resta la storia della sua impresa, perché Baer inventò, nel 1972, il Magnavox Odyssey, la prima console casalinga per videogiochi.

This Week on The Casual Hour… It's time for another Casual Hour Deep Dive! This month Johnny takes us through the long history of the pack-in game, and how important a role they played in the making or breaking of a new piece of gaming hardware. From Pong on the Magnavox Odyssey to Astro's Playroom on the Playstation 5, we cover them all. At least all the ones that matter. And what's the point of assembling a list if you don't arbitrarily determine a winner at the end? To wrap things up Johnny, Bobby and Chase each pick what they think is the greatest pack-in of all time. Who will win? Tune in and find out! We're On Twitch!

This week the podcast gets groovy! We have very special guest Frank Cifaldi of the Video Game History Foundation on to talk about the 1970s and the Magnavox Odyssey. And as always, enjoy some video game news and recommendations from our lovely hosts.

This week we get a whirlwind tour of early gaming history, from bagatelles and pinball to arcades and Tennis for Two. Then we get into “personal” computers, Spacewar! and the start of the 70s with the Magnavox Odyssey. Some video game news and chat rounds out this week's episode.

This week we take a look at two large consoles; Atari's Ultra Pong and General Instrument's 8610 chip. We also talk the PC-50x series of consoles and how it takes a lot from the original Magnavox Odyssey!Website - https://historyvgpodcast.wixsite.com/historyofvideogamingTwitter - https://twitter.com/HistoryofVideo1Email - historyvgpodcast@gmail.comHosts - Ben & WesMusic - Arranged and recorded by BenCan you guess this week's transition music?
