Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Royal Philips Electronics N.V.), usually known as Philips, is not a dedicated computer video games company. However it has over the years provided innovations which have been taken up by and been highly influential within the industry. One of the most famous being  the Compact Disc in partnership with Sony.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philips Videopac G7000

The Magnavox Odyssey˛, known in Europe as the Philips Videopac G7000, in Brazil as the Philips Odyssey, in the United States as the Magnavox Odyssey˛ and the Philips Odyssey˛, and also by many other names, is a video game console released in 1978.
In the early 1970s, Magnavox was an innovator in the home video game industry. They succeeded in bringing the first home video game system to market, the Odyssey, which was quickly followed by a number of later models, each with a few technological improvements. In 1978 Magnavox, now a subsidiary of North American Philips, released the Odyssey˛, their new second-generation video game console.


In Europe and Brazil, the Odyssey˛ did very well on the market. In Europe, the console was most widely known as the Philips Videopac G7000, or just the Videopac, although branded variants were released in some areas of Europe under the names Radiola Jet 25, Schneider 7000, and Siera G7000. Philips, as Magnavox's European parent company, used their own name rather than Magnavox's for European marketing. 

A rare model, the Philips Videopac G7200, was only released in Europe; it had a built-in black-and-white monitor. Videopac game cartridges are mostly compatible with American Odyssey˛ units, although some games have color differences and a few are completely incompatible. A number of additional games were released in Europe that never came out in the US.
