One of the first home game systems was the Magnavox Odyssey.  Since then there have been hundreds of them!  Each system pushes the limits of the hardware and software within them.  The controller of each system is almost as unique as a fingerprint.  Here we explore the input devices of several systems.

 

 

 

 

 

Per usual, the cache is not at the published coordinates.  Solve the following puzzle in order to find the coordinates.

 

 


 

 

As always, have fun! If you get stuck or need a little nudge just send me a message.

 Hints

Periodically the controllers change designs. Keeping up with the tables is crucial. Of course, bad controllers can be disastrous for a game system.

Found this on my way home from Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Quick find. Love the container. Surprised to see that it hadn't been discovered for so long. I remember solving this puzzle a while ago and my husband saying that I had officially reached "Geek" status. I'm just glad to find a puzzle that I can solve. TFTC!!

I saw the container and thought oh I used to have one of those! What a nice and quick find this one was. Thankfully it was close by the house also so that made life easier. What a fun puzzle! Best memories were with a Colicovision ... what a horrible system but when I was young it was so much fun and all we could do was move forward and jump.

- What is E.T. short for?
He has really short legs, of course.

Another puzzle that has been in my CS solved file for a few months. Of course on my way to the event I just had to find it.

Another fun puzzle, which I needed a nudge with, as usual. Got it solved awhile back, but just now made the quick find today. Great container! TFTC
