A Black Falcon Wrote:Umm... haven't played anything for the Oddyssey 2... didn't it have like 30 games or something, most all by the same guy? The only one I know of is, I think, KC Munchkin...When I was very young, two or three years old, perhaps, my grandmother won an Oddysey 2 in some radio contest (the reason being, by this time it was dead, and you couldn't buy games for it) It came with one cartridge that had three games... Speedway: a racing game (the most fun... for about 30 seconds), Spinout: a racing game on a track that handled awfully, and the last was a cryptogram game that was as exciting as waking up in the morning.
And yeah, that's one of the worst reviews I've seen at Gamespot. And the guy goes on and on... usually bad reviewers write very short reviews, but this one's long and it just makes it more painful...
Screenshots from that game (and yes, it did have those horrible pink backgrounds!):

I have to admit a small thing though, as I said, I never had any other games, so I don't actually know if the others are good. Judging by this, I doubt it. The game I had, all three combined, kept three-year old Ryan intellectually stimulated for a whole three minutes.
Though, for posterity's sake, I wish I still had it. I lost it when we moved ten years ago. :(
I wonder how many other people in the world can claim to have owned an Oddyssey 2 but have never even touched a real Atari 2600. :D
