Cornell U. Hockey Author1973 101basic basic hockey opensource wordinput Mainframe***Cornell U. Hockey is a text-based hockey simulation in which the player plays against Cornell University. When the player is in control of the puck three options are available: slap shot, flick shot and wrist shot. The shots influence the game, which is otherwise mostly randomly determined, but features three periods, sudden death and a variety of situations such as penalties, blocked and wide shots and hitting the post. labelminimizesubject
Odyssey 100 Magnavox1975 earth hockey naturalistic tennis I personally don't know if I would consider it a video game, rather I would add them to the list of Consoles.***The Magnavox Odyssey 100 dedicated console was announced in the Spring of 1975 with first shipments on October 30 and a launch price of $99.95, although pricing dropped quickly with pricing listed at $80 by June 1976 and by Christmas of 76 as low as $39.95. It uses a multi-chip discrete component design, which makes it much simpler than all later dedicated consoles Magnavox would eventually release. Magnavox already had a single-chip design in mind that year, but wanted to have a product they could release immediately if Texas Instruments, the supplier of their single video game chips, was unable to deliver in a timely manner.

The Odyssey 100 was designed around four Texas Instruments chips. It has two games (Tennis and Hockey). Neither game had on-screen scoring and the system used a crude buzzer for sound. The Odyssey 100 is powered by either six "C" batteries or a 9 volt AC adapter. Each player had three knobs for horizontal movement, vertical movement and ball trajectory adjustment ("English").
