I agree. I doubt anyone has offered such detailed reviews of these games since the early 70s. I think it might be fun to get a pick of you and your son playing the Magnavox!
Matt: I'm shamed that I never thought of taking pictures of us playing them while we still had my old style TV! I took plenty of screenshots, too. DOH! I'll have to get a picture of us doing Haunted House when we get to it as I think my daughter is old enough to enjoy that now, too. Of course, this will be on a Sony PVM so it will seem even more anachronistic this time.
The Small Overlay: This is what the smaller overlay looks like on my former TV
Bill: Speaking of TVs, I don't remember the size of the TV (I never measured or was a good guesser of TV sizes) but the smaller overlays fit it pretty well.
It's a shame I gave that TV away, but it was taking up space that was better spent on other stuff to make room for a MAME cab. ;)
One problem with playing the Odyssey on new TVs is the lack of static charge on the screen! We could've used the larger overlays on my Sony WEGA but they just wouldn't stick. Heh.
