Magnavox Odyssey2, or as I knew it, the Philips Videopac G7000. While it apparently (I wasn't alive back then) did decently here, because of the Philips branding, being a 2nd Gen system it is far overshadowed by the Atari 2600 and even by things as the Intellivision and Colecovision in the modern eye.
Most of it's games are Atari clones as well, but it does have a couple of interesting contraptions of it's own, like a dungeon & dragons-style game that's half a board game, or a chess computer add-on. One of it's games in particular has a large nostaligic value to me. It's a competitive shooting game which I played as a kid on my mother's system, which she had since her own childhood.
The best thing about it though are the controllers. Downside is they're hard-wired, but the control sticks are fluent and accurate, feel like it's like a more modern analogue-stick instead of the digital stick the Atari had. It's just objectively better. They also have just one button, and are therefore not as needlessly complicated as some other 2nd Gen controllers.
So yeah, the Odyssey2/G7000.
