Description
Magnavox Odyssey ShotgunThe prototype light gun was used as an interface for playing multiple-choice games.Hard to Find!Name: Shooting Gallery Console Type: Magnavox Odyssey Game Type: Action ArcadeShooting Gallery The Shooting Gallery uses the first commercial light gun ever created for video game. Ralph Baer, the inventor of the Magnavox Odyssey game console in 1968, originally created it.The console had a special port built into it for this peripheral. The Shooting Gallery allowed playing four additional games. This simple shotgun would only detect light, and not necessarily what particular target, which allowed the player to cheat by shooting any light source, e.g. a light bulb. Since no scores were displayed on the TV screen for any Odyssey 1 game, cheating was somewhat irrelevant.A rumor circulated that the Shooting Gallery rifle would only work with a Magnavox TV set. Although wrong, this hurt sales and only 20,000 or so was sold.Four games were made that supported the Shooting Gallery were available on two cards. These games are colorized only by translucent plastic screen overlays.** http://www.vintagegamesite.com/gmfirst.phpThe cost of shipping may seem high, but the shipping cost falls under oversized product.Good luck!
