Good memories on the videopac. Thanks dad. RIP. ❤
This was my first system. I have the vivid memory of my teacher asking the class if anyone had a games console. Bunch of kids put their hands up and said Atari or Grandstand. I raised my hand and said a Philips Videopac and he said "That's not a games console" in front of the whole class.
A friend of mine had one when I was a youngster, always remembered the Videopac.
This was the first game system i ever saw at my older. Cousins house. I was awestruck. I begged my parents for moths to buy me one and finally they caved in. I got a 7400 and played all the mentioned games. Eventually I sold it and got a C64. Much later a few years back I was visiting my cousin again and he handed me the Videopack with all the games. Really nice gesture. It now lives in my my gameroom
Attack Of The Timelords was the first Odyssey 2 game I ever played during a special event at my hometown's local game shop. That game made me get an Odyssey 2! Poor thing was getting almost zero attention at that event too!
"Verkehrserziehung" is the best, taught me how to cross the street.
My first console - my dad randomly bought "the tv game" back in the day. The game I remember best was "Take the Money and Run" which had a bug where you could stand in a particular place and become immune when it was the enemies chasing you phase...we got a woodgrain Atari the next year
Amazing!
The Odyssey2 was my first console (by a few weeks) and remains among my top 2 gaming machines (the TI-99/4A being the other), with their expanded memory "Challenger Series" cartridges being the best on offer. KC Munchkin and KC's Crazy Chase (which compbined Pacman with a snake game) were quite good, PickAxe Pete was great fun for a paired-back Donkey Kong, and Turtles was a truly outstanding Arcade port (one of the best ports of the game available at home). The Classic "Clowns" (Circus?) became PT Barnum, but kept the fun of the original balloon popping mayhem.
I was so amused as the video kept going. I own the first three titles that you featured, almost expecting to have the majority of the games on your list. Instead, the only other one to show up was K.C.'s Krazy Chase. I seem to own 15 of the 47 games released in the USA, with their original boxes, so I'm almost a third of the way to a complete collection. One day I'll actually play my copy of Quest for the Rings, just to see how the hybrid video and board game works out.
Killer Bees is one of, if not the best, game on the platform. It offers a bit more depth of play than the majority of O2 games and creates that "just one more" obsessive mindset.
I remember when I was a kid in the 70's and my parents brought my grandfather Christmas shopping qith use and he bought a cartridge for this system as a present not understanding that you needed the game system. He thought you just plugged ther cartridge into the TV, seeing he seen the game playing on the TV in the store. RIP gramps.
Oh my goodness, that's Leonard Nimoy narrating the advert isn't it? Wow! Fantastic! I also remember seeing these in stores when I was a little kid and wanting one very badly, without even knowing what it was. Haha.
Back in the day, Pick Axe Pete was my favorite. Still love it, but I've become a KCs Krazy Chase fanboy more recently, especially with it's voice support.
My father gave me a Videpac around 15 y.o. I had loads of fun with it. 5 years later I bought a spectrum 48 k, and the Videopac went to the drawer. Can't really say I miss him. Thank you for the video, it was fun to watch these games again 😊
Just a few days before this Christmas we have found a boxed Videopac with some cartridges at a garage sale and send them to one of our dearest friends as a present: luckily, it works. It's pure retro fun, we spent a serious Retrochristmas this year!
This take me waaay back. A great piece of kit! I was fortunate to have one of these when I was 7 years old! 😊
Was my first console the G7000 I was 8 or 9 years old at the time.
My parents bought one for christmas 1980 (or thereabouts). Fun system but competition was fierce those days.
Killer Bees, Freedom Fighters and Satellite Attack are technically no longer exclusive, as they have already been re-released on Steam through Videopac Collection 1.
