Magnavox Odyssey 100 (1975)
Magnavox's first dedicated Pong-style console after the original Odyssey, sold with built-in Tennis and Hockey.
It had no on-screen score and used a crude buzzer for sound, and ran on six C batteries or an AC adapter. It was followed days later by the Odyssey 200 at $129.95, and by a long series of dedicated Odyssey models through 1977.
