This is my attempt to re-design the very first electronic video game, the Magnavox Odyssey, featuring 27 games, on 8 "cartridges". The most famous of these 27 games was "tennis", which was later copied by Atari and after adding on screen score keeping became world famous as PONG, it was the precursor of all consoles and computer games as we know them now.
The Odyssey is a system built from discrete Transistors, most of them acting as pulse generators, or logical gates, I acquired the full sets of schematics of the Odyssey, the original one, and the later German one. I'm planning to design a small PCB contains the full logic of the Magnavox Odyssey with modern components.
