What is “Videopac”?
“Videopac” is the name that Odyssey² was marketed under in Europe. The name was dreamed up by Jon Shuttleworth and Dolf van de Paauw, the Philips employees in charge of developing the console in Europe.8 Although different models of Videopac-compatible game machines were available in Europe (the G7000, C52, N60, etc.), the term “Videopac” was used by Philips to refer to the product line as a whole.
