My all-time 44 favorite Odyssey2 game list



Playing the Odyssey2 tonight, I was realizing that there are many games that are still really fun to play today. The Odyssey 2 system has over 200 games (not sure of the exact amount). I wanted to know how many good games there are, so I compiled everyone's favorites. I then ranked these by order on which the gaming society has ranked them. This is not the order I would have chosen and is not my own rating, but somewhat close on most. So out of the 60+ games I have played, based on my opinion, I compiled 44 games that I believe are worth playing on the Odyssey2. I'm sure there are other games that people believe should be on this list that I have never played. I played majority of these games as a kid or adult.
