Philips G7400

Redirected from Odyssey3

The Philips G7400, also known as the Odyssey3, was a video game console released only in Europe. It was the sequel to the Odyssey2, released in 1983.

Initially, there were plans to release the G7400 in the United States, dubbed the Odyssey Command Center. It had both 16 kb RAM and ROM and featured excellently tailored backround and foreground graphics. It was never released, mostly because company executives concluded that the Odyssey3 was not technologically advanced enough to compete in the marketplace. Also, the video game crash of 1983/84 ended all lingering hopes.

The G7400 could play all Odyssey2 games, remade Odyssey1 games, as well as its own games.

CPU: 8048, 1,00Mhz ROM: 16 kb RAM: 16 Kb Display: 256x192x16 Audio: 1 channel, 8 sounds Input / Output: RF modulator, joystick port(s), cartridge port
