}}The '''[[gametech:Magnavox Odyssey|Odyssey]]''' is the first home video game console, released in September of 1972 by Magnavoxand was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|99.99|1972}} (though when purchased with a Magnavox television, it cost only {{Inflation|USD|50|1972}}). It was called the '''Brown Box''' during development. It ran on either 6 C-cell batteries or a 9-volt AC adapter. The Odyssey did not use a CPU; the cartridges, called "circuit cards", altered the machine's signal path instead. This changed the light output of the television screen, creating the appearance of a game, but it did not allow for music to be played. ==Simulators=={| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"|-! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Operating System(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|[[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"|[[libretro|Libretro Core]]! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-! colspan="10"|PC / x86|-|OdySim|align=left|{{Icon|Windows}}|[http://odysim.blogspot.fr/ 13/10/2019]||Cycle ||{{✗}} ||{{✓}} ||{{✓}}|-|}
