[game_preservation] Release date of the Odyssey?

[Devin Monnens]

Great finds, guys! Especially like the evolution of the vocabulary. Makes
me wonder what wording they used during the presentations.

Shouldn't most universities and libraries have a subscription to these
newspaper archives?

Here's the articles I think look most interesting. I will try and check
them out when I have a break from work.



>> Wall Street Journal, "All-Electronic Game Hooked to TV Set Slated by

>> Magnavox", May 11, 1972.

>>

>> Washington Post,  "Games for TV -- a New Concept", June 25, 1972 & an

>> ad from September 19, 1972 - half the page or so dedicated to the

>> Odyssey ("$99.95, pay $10 monthly").

>>>

>>>

>>>



> Also checked NY Times. The Magnavox announcement, "Magnavox Unveils TV Game

>>> Simulator" is dated 11 may 1972.
