Tyler and Stephan are back with a bang talking about surely the hottest vintage console on the block, the Magnavox Odyssey 2: a console notable for having multiple loose SNES games that cost more than the entire CIB library! We're talking about why we've each collected it, some interested subsets within the library, rare games, all that, so join us! Update: Friend of the show @VGCollectaholic clarified to us that there are 27 North American Phillips (NAP) publisher variants. After Philips absorbed Magnavox, around 1981/early 1982, the earlier games were republished with Philips branding. Each piece is specific to the NAP variant, even the catalog and they're generally much rarer than the Magnavox versions. Thanks buddy!
