I've just uploaded a scan of my (xeroxed) manual for the "C7420 Home Computer Module" to @internetarchive.
The C7420 is a #BASIC cartridge with #Z80 CPU and RAM expansion for the Philips #G7400 (#MagnavoxOdyssey2) #Videopac+ video game console.
I did not find any manual for that online - neither Enlish nor German. So, here you are:
Norseman fue un éxito en la #Videopac y #MSX
Destaca por su jugabilidad sencilla pero adictiva.
Recoge tesoros mientras evitas peligros y combates contra otros guerreros.

The #Pilips #Videopac G7200 is basically a G7000 with integrated B+W screen. Like its brothers it won't start without a cartridge inserted.

Posting a few items while I move them.
This is the #Philips #Videopac G7400 or Videopac+, also known as #Odyssey3.
With more ram than it's predecessor the G7000 could play Videopac+ games. An absolute novelty was the addition of a power switch.

Nightmare fue uno de los cartuchos para la #Videopac con más éxito en 1983.
Estamos atrapados en una casa encantada en plena tormenta.
En la oscuridad no vemos las paredes ni las escaleras del edificio, ni a los fantasmas que nos acechan y que pueden darnos unos sustos de muerte.

La Caza Loca fue una vuelta de tuerca al archifamoso éxito de ventas Come Cocos (Munchkin) que no era sino la versión en Videopac del Pac Man. Ahora tenemos un laberinto con obstáculos que se desplazan y nos impiden avanzar y una especie de serpiente que nos persigue #retrogaming #videopac #jopac #ochobitero #8bit #videojuegos
One joystick/controller for each of our followers
Newest addition to the collection are these two games for the #Philips #Videopac aka #Odyssey 2:
#SpaceMonster and #Terrahawks.
Terrahawks is designed to run on the Videopac+ making use of the additional RAM.
It's also backwards compatible, albeit a little less colourful.

@admiralobvious@home.social You got much sexier packaging over there than we did for the #Videopac !

Q*Bert. One of my top #arcade game of the 80s. The machine was powered by a 6502, a Votrax speech synth and even had a pinball knocker. Gottlieb managed to sell over 25,000 units. It was natural that ports to consoles would appear on the market. In January 1984, you could get it for the #Atari 2600, 5200, 400/600/800, the #intellivision, the #colecovision and the #Commodore Vic 20 and 64. It also got ported to the #phillips #videopac, the #othello #multivision & the #nintendo NES. #retrogaming
In the 1970s, developers hadn't quite figured out how to translate golf into a video game yet. Philips' version on the #Videopac 7000 is one of the earliest renditions, putting aside the amazing Flats/Golf on the PLATO system and some text-only games. It's a plausible attempt, with simple but (mostly) effective controls. Hold fire to power up your clockwise backswing, then release.
#Atari must have approved, as they pretty much copied it for their Golf (1980).
Just as I thought it was safe to leave the 1970s...
... Videopac Collection 1 is out on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2193100/Videopac_Collection_1/. 10 games from the Philips #Videopac 7000 AKA the #Magnavox #Odyssey2 (!)
Presumably there are only 10 games because they want you to buy Videopac Collection 2 when it comes out. (Which I probably will. *sigh*.)
Anyway, here's Air-Sea War, which looks suspiciously like the bomber games on #Atari2600 Air-Sea Battle.
