Retro Gaming Pickups - Vintage consoles, games and artwork

[@XFile2708]

First time seeing an Odyssey system before.. can see why you gravitated to it with that artwork.. looks superb 😎👍

Thanks mate, glad you found the channel!

The box art for older games were amazing compared to today, they put so much effort in. Quite weird the Magna Vox and the Phillips look basically identical.

[@foxboxgaming7971]

Strange that the inly difference seems to be the on/off switch missing. Would have liked to have been part of that decision making process 😂

The Magnavox & the European version look pertty amazing, and I love the box artwork. Great to have that lot in your collection. I am going to use some of the game box art as posters if I can find quality scans.

[@retroimportgamer513]

Think you're definitely right about the Magnavox artwork, looks so much better, shame about the console not working but at least you can sort it with the Philips 👍✌️

[@foxboxgaming7971]

Just need to work out a way of displaying it all now!

[@rodneydaub3812]

I had An Odyssey 2. When they were new. I think Monkey Shines was the most entertaining game. The box Artwork was amazing though!

[@foxboxgaming7971]

I'll look out for it! Definitely going to have to create some space to get some of it on display!

[@DadLadsGaming]

Good stuff mate I've got a Videopac that's not working ...I should really have a look at it at some point.

[@foxboxgaming7971]

Just do the opposite to me and buy a working Odyssey to have running in the background 😂

Oh very nice some proper retro Ben, id hazard a guess at the magnavox is due to it being ntsc (even via RF)

[@foxboxgaming7971]

I thought that but the person who sold it me swears he runs it on a normal crt without an adapter so no idea what's gone on! What's your tip tip for getting the tape off the box?!

[@tootyuk]

@@foxboxgaming7971 no you dont need an adaptor the TV needs to support the NTSC signal basically, re the tape get some label remover mate :)

[@Retroram]

Think the fox box needs a rebrand to the twilight zone where things are not as they appear. Do the consoles want to work or dont they lol. Your right tho mate the artwork from this era is awesome

[@foxboxgaming7971]

I'm going to do some shelf fettling over Easter to try making a display out of the new stuff, I don't want it all burying away!

[@Big-Mike]

First!
