The 42cast Episode 184: Odyssey Now
Notas del episodio
The 42cast is proud to welcome members of the Odyssey Now project to our show! Odyssey Now investigates, educates, and develops information and hardware regarding the Magnavox Odyssey, the very first video game console. The Odyssey is 50 years old, so we thought it would be a great idea to highlight the tremendous work that these people do. To that end, we have project director Dr. Zachary Horton as well as his students, Levi Burner and Damien Hu, on the show. Along the way we discuss the important of the Odyssey and why it isn’t just a relic of historical interest. We also talk about the work that the Odyssey Project does and how they’re both discovering new things and developing what such an old platform can do. We end with some information about what the future of the project holds as well as ways that individuals can help them in their work.
