Anyone own or played an actual Magnavox Odyssey (the first home video games console)?
I have questions about when you hold down the reset button on a controller (what happens and if the cards change behaviour) and also about the momentum/dampening effects that happen on the ball.
Any help appreciated!

"Peacekeeper Command-O" (2018), a fun two player homebrew game running on my Odyssey emulator.
It's a bit like Missile Command (1980).
Only five physical copies of Peacekeeper were made but you can play it with Magnavody!

The Odyssey video console (1972) could only draw a few blobs so to provide variety Magnavox included semi-transparent physical overlays for players to stick on their TV screens (eg a green tennis court for a tennis game). Genius!
After a lot of prototyping, here's my attempt at a physical overlay in my simemulator, Magnavody (and a real life pic for comparison). I really want to capture the fidelity of the experience eventually.
