==SpaceWar?==

No mention of Spacewar in this article? Shouldn't it have its place somewhere in this article?

==Fair use rationale for Image:Home Pong thumbnail.JPG==

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]

'''[[:Image:Home Pong thumbnail.JPG]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[WP:FU|fair use]].

Please go to [[:Image:Home Pong thumbnail.JPG|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->

== Why is the first magnavox odyssey separate from the magnavox series? ==

I think those two categories should be merged into one. I don't understand the need to separate the first one from the rest.

[[User:Neilandio|Neilandio]] ([[User talk:Neilandio|talk]]) 22:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I think so too, the Magnavox Odyssey belongs to the Odyssey series. [[User:Maxeto0910|Maxeto0910]] ([[User talk:Maxeto0910|talk]]) 23:47, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
