How do you play games on the Magnavox Console?

The Magnavox console is the original game console, and like games today, the player controls the action on the screen with a wired handheld controller. The original console itself is a white, black, and brown box that connects to a television set or monitor, but later versions included consoles of various colors such as neon yellow. Different models came with different connection types such as component RCA, composite RCA, RF, and S-video. The display that appears on the screen is monochrome black and white with no sound capabilities, but plastic, colored overlays can be placed on the screen to create different visual images. The game graphics are very basic.

The original unit comes with two wired controllers for single or double player gaming. The console is pre-loaded with a list of game titles that are selected on the display with the controllers. Some of the games include peripheral accessories such as accompanying board games and other game pieces like dice and money, depending on the game.
