I loved my Oddessy2...

I'd have to go with Legion of Clones as I think my first system was the Telstar Arcade.



Magnavox Odyssey vs Atari Pong vs. Legions Of Clones

The original Maganvox Odyssey was off the market before Atari made its first pong machines and before the clones. So they really weren't competitors.

The Atari machines competed against other dedicated pong machines from Magnavox (using the Odyssey name followed by a number) as well as clones from Coleco (Telestar) and others.

There were also specialized machines -- Atari Video Pinabll and Coleco Tank.

The edge in my book goes to Atari because you could get them at Sears -- in the sporting goods department.

PS -- My first pong unit was a Unisonic Tournament T2000. Four pong games and two light gun games.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
