My own personal video game collecting odyssey reached a significant milestone as today I acquired the original Magnavox Odyssey console.Just a bit of quick background, this is the first home video game console and predates even Atari's first home Pong consoles.
Though it was first released in the retail market in 1972, there were prototypes of it as early as the mid 60s.
While the system can fetch upwards of $400-$600 on EBay, I got this bad boy off Craigslist for a mere $40, mostly due in part to various missing parts.
Hopefully it is fully functional once I confirm this I will have a more expansive post on the console and some of the games, peripheral (the bad ass shot gun.)
