Gather 'round children... this is no longer a history lesson. This is a paleontology lesson. This was the main console of the Italian Dinosaurs.
The Magnavox Odyssey is the first shame console ever made in 1972. It is also the last, because there were no other shame consoles from 1972. They only had one colour, and that was white (the original author loves it when expensive things come in multiple very specific colors). The 2 knobs was the way you played Odyssey. The shames had no labels because, according to Magnavox, "your memory determines what shame you play" or something. and they were labeled from 1 to 6 and were the exact same unless you put a stupid overlay on your TV, and said TV must be a 50+ year old piece of SHIT and NOT one of those new fangled OLEDs! 
Despite trying to "bring the arcade home", it FAILed and vanished into obscurity. It only sold 3.1415926535898 consoles and can’t even see the Play Station 2 or touch the WonderSwan. This is because the Magnavox Odyssey has no eyes or touch receptors. Its shames were called 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
What did you grow up playing? Pitfall on the 2600, Mario on the NES or 1 on the Odyssey?
