  16. Magnavox Odyssey 2 models to 3D print

    in Trading Post

    Posted

    For all you Odyssey 2 fans with a 3D printer or access to one out there, I offer you these models I made! You can print them out and stick them on your game room shelf to display next to your Odyssey 2 collection! This ZIP file contains four .stl models to print!

    Spyrus the Deathless, Timelord of Chaos! from one of the best Odyssey 2 games, Attack of the Timelord! Red filament recommended.

    KC Munchkin! from the popular game of the same name. Blue filament recommended.

    Muncher! one of the enemies from KC Munchkin. Red, green, orange, or purple filament recommended.

    Odyssey 2 person sprite! is special because it is meant to represent two different sprites: the front facing Odyssey 2 person and the side facing one. Depending on how you look at it, it will look like a different sprite! This effect is magnified when using a light source to cast a shadow of the model onto a wall. This sprite made in appearence in many Odyssey 2 games, including (but not limited to) Football! Baseball! Blockout! Breakdown! Matchmaker! Alien Invaders-- Plus! and more. Recommended filament colors include blue, red, yellow, white, and more.

    I hope you enjoy my models! I may make more in the future, and I already have a few Atari ones made I'll share. These are 100% free for anyone to use for themselves. They look nice on a shelf (I would know) and maybe it would make a nice homemade gift for the Odyssey or Videopak fanatic in your life.

    Happy printing, everyone!

    Mine has been stuck in my 7800 since it arrived the day I got home from my vacation two and a half weeks ago.

    Looks like you’re going to need some WD40 and brute strength! Luckily I know someone who can help you take the game out:

    M-m-m-m-mail call!

    A kind soul in another Atari group sent this to me. If you’re reading this Tim, thank you so much!

    Some brief thoughts on these games:

    LASER BLAST: This game is monotonous and repetitive as all get out. But, I’ve found myself having a lot of fun with it recently! It’s brain dead, but it can be fun in spurts. I’m going to go for the patch.

    SUPERMAN: I never liked this game as a kid because I had no idea what to do. A few months ago I gave it another shot and had a blast! So happy to have this great game in my collection.

    SWORDQUEST FIREWORLD: Blech. Unlike Laser Blast, this is way worse than I remembered. It might be worse than Gangster Alley even.

    BANK HEIST: A real hidden gem on the system. It’s a very good Pac-Man style maze game. Give it a go if you can find it!

    3D TIC-TAC-TOE: Carol Shaw’s first released game is a lot of fun. I’m not good at it at all, but I really enjoy playing it. Like Video Chess, it’s a nice relaxing game for the times where action games don’t seem appealing.

    GRAND PRIX: One of the best Activision games. I have some great memories of this game and it’s still fun today. Maybe the best game in this lot.

    COMMANDO: There was an attempt here, but...

    I remember an old show that I used to catch the beginning few seconds of my DVR’d Scooby Doo Where Are You episodes on the channel Boomerang, which played a bunch of old cartoons. When I first played Private Eye, I thought it was based off this mystery show. Now I know that Private Eye wasn’t affiliated with any particular TV show nor was one made based on the game. What show was this?

    Do you have friends that drive?  Or maybe it's close enough that you could walk and take a hand truck. 

     

    I do, yes. But there will still be the matter of getting the 10,000 pound box in the basement, and with my parents home 24/7 until May that will be difficult. I’ll just wait until then.

    Thanks @RickR. I’ll try that.

    Maybe I should just hook up my flatscreen finally. It’s been sitting down there for months but I haven’t been motivated to hook it up yet. I much prefer to play the older games on CRTs, and 99% of games I play on a regular basis are old. I could do what I did in the past where I hooked up a small CRT next to the big TV, but it’s not as good as a big one.

    Craigslist has a Trinitron near me for free but my parents don’t want to be bothered with helping me pick it up. It sucks not being able to drive.

    I need some help, guys:

    My CRT has some problems nowadays that it didn’t use to have before. I’ve put up with these issues for a few months now but I’m starting to reach the end of my rope! 

    What the TV does is shut itself off when there is no signal, which it has not done in the past. The real problem is even if I turn the system on before the TV, if the game itself is too dark (ie a black background), the TV will also shut itself off. What I have to do is turn on something bright (like the blue screen of a VCR) and let the TV warm up for 10-30 minutes before I can play something with a dark background.

    Does anyone know what might be causing this and if there is a way to fix it?
