A game of Electro Squash being played by Una Goggins of Lidcombe Brenda Fenwick of Bronte at the Trade Union Club Surry Hills.Bleep-bleep...and a game of TV Squash is on in a City club. Soon you'll be able to adapt your own set to play fun games like this.The system is called Odyssey, a video unit introduced two and a half years ago by the Magnavox Company, a big maker of consumer electronics.- Costing $US99.95, the game is connected to any 18 in to 25 in black arid white or color TV.This requires nothing more than a few twists of a screwdriver.The basic video game pits one player against another in an electronic contest of eye and hand coordination.The aim is to knock a small white blip — or “bair — back and forth between two larger white blips controlled by turning knobs on the console.The blip emits a sharp “bleep” each time it is struck, and the game lasts until one player has scored 11 points.
