Video Game History
by Full Sort Curator
My first experience with video games was when a family member gave us their old Odyssey video game system. As a small kid, I was fond of this system for a little while until I became bored. You would take a piece of plastic with drawings on them and stick it to your TV set using static electricity. The user would control a bright dot around the screen which would show through the transparent plastic drawings. There was soccer, baseball, haunted house, racing, etc. When the Atari 2600 came out, ours was Sears private label, I guess this game was sold in a garage sale. Video game history bucket concentrates on 1970s and 1980s.
