Joining me for this Voice-enhanced podcast recording are fellow Odyssey2 enthusiasts Jared Petty (of Limited Run Games) and Earl Green (of thelogbook.com), as we have a far-ranging discussion about Magnavox's silver beast = touching on the origins of the console, its weird, innovative, and frequently fascinating contributions to game design, and even its never-released successors! The Wizard of Odyssey would want you to listen, and you don't want to disappoint him, do you?
