@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yes, I got it for Christmas in the early 80's and never sold any of it and am still collecting now at 54 years old. In America it's called Odyssey2 and in Brazil it's called Odyssey. In Europe, it was also distributed by Radiola, Schneider and Siera. In addition, in France there was the identical Jopac system from Brandt and Continental Edison SABA. A small video game that is an extensive collection area, which I have recently started showing here. When I look at my collection, it's like a time machine back to the beautiful simple time.

ED, did you spend considerable time living in either Canada or the U.S. during your youth? The reason I ask is your accent is very smooth and flat - essentially Americanized, without any hint of goofy-sounding inflection that could have been learned from a *British* English teacher. Am I correct in assuming that English is not your first language?

@@EdsRetroGeekOut Yes, that's what I thought. Even though you didn't reside in Canada "full time" over several years, you still developed an exceptional command of English (with North American accentuation). During your vacations, you must have really immersed yourself in the local culture and absorbed many of the influences around you. I'm impressed! Do you still visit your Aunt?
