Because reading is a serious educational tool!

This Library is an archive of game manuals, magazine reviews, advertising pamphlets and other documents related to the Odyssey² and Videopac consoles. Each document is presented similarly to its original format, and some are also available as PDF files or in text-only format. Some have been translated into English from other languages.

There's no shortage of Odyssey² and Videopac documents out there. The Library is not exhaustive but will grow with time.
