The Odyssey<sup>2</sup> was Magnavox's successor to the [[Magnavox Odyssey|Odyssey]]. Unlike the Odyssey, and like later consoles such as the [[Atari 2600]], it had a [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]], and was fully programmable. It was released in 1978, after the 2600, and was technically inferior to it. The Odyssey<sup>2</sup> had a couple of unique features, though: a keyboard, making it somewhere between a console and a computer, and a speech synthesis unit. |
