My parents somehow ended up with one of these when I was like 3. We weren't exactly rich so I've always wondered if it fell off the back of a truck or something. The only games that come to mind are a word scramble and an overhead racing game. Pretty sure we had a few more but that was a loooooong time ago.

One thing I learned from growing up in a not too well of family, is that things that fell off a truck, never actually fell off a truck.

Interestingly, we use the same “excuse” in Dutch! (van een vrachtwagen gevallen)

Our neighbor friend had an Odyssey. Lots of fond memories playing it with them.

Sweet! Any good games on it? I love trying new systems!

Looks good!

I had the Odyssey (with overlays). Regret giving it to a collector before I moved continents, I'd love to get it hooked up and working!

Man that screen brings back memories!

My aunt bought one of these when it came out and I played it all the time at our family cabin in the early 2000s. I thought it was super cool because it had a full keyboard and actual joysticks when I was only used to my GBC, PSX, and PC racing wheels/pedals.
