Magnavody

Magnavody is an open source simulator / emulator for first video game console, the glorious Magnavox Odyssey.

We are working with game designers and historians to create an authentic, accurate, accessible and fun emulator for Odyssey.

Source code

The source code is free and open source under the GPL v3+. We provide dedicated binary builds via itch and steam. Purchasing the build supports development of the project.
