Videopac Collection 1

Videopac Collection 1 is a remastered, emulated collection of 10 games originally released for the Philips Videopac G7000, known as the Magnavox Odyssey 2 in the US. The console brought gaming into homes in the late 1970s and was among the earliest to use swappable game cartridges.

The games

The collection includes games of sports, strategy and action:

• 4 in 1 Row: Drop pieces into a grid from above and connect four in a line to win. Play against another player or computer opponents with varying difficulty.
• Air-Sea War/Battle: In Air-Sea War, duel in a submarine against an aircraft. In Battle, fight one-on-one tank battles on a blasted battlefield.
• American Football: Play football with downs, field goals, quarterback throws and touchdowns.
• Baseball: Play a full nine innings and try to win.
• Battlefield: Lead one of two armies through a dense forest and capture the opposing general. Capture the enemy general 10 times to end the war.
• Freedom Fighters: Pilot a space-hunter stationed at a lonely outpost, protect the galaxy from an invading enemy and try to free any prisoners they have taken.
• Golf: Play nine holes, requiring precise shots.
• Killer Bees: Control a swarm of killer bees and destroy the Beelings, invaders from another world.
• Nightmare: Escape a haunted house through a hatch in the attic, outwitting the ghosts in your way.
• Satellite Attack: Dodge asteroids and use a single laser gun for protection. When two asteroids collide, they fuse into a magnetic asteroid that is drawn toward your craft. Enemy satellites also attack without warning.

Modern features

The collection adds options for saving and loading at any point, image scaling and smoothing, and full control remapping. It also supports most modern game controllers.
