Videopac+ G7400



The Videopac+ G7400 was meant to be the successor to the Videopac G7000 - which non-Europeans know as the Odyssey². In fact it was planned to be released in America as the Odyssey³. It had some technical improvements, and it was backwards-compatible (plus some games would run on the G7000 but display improved backgrounds on the G7400). But soon Philips realized that it would just not be competitive, not only against the Atari 2600 behemoth, but the far superior ColecoVision as well. And then the crash of '83 happened. So after a very middling European release, the G7400 was quickly discontinued.
