Odyssey is the name of a range of games consoles introduced by Philips in the 1970s including the beige-coloured Odyssey 2001 and its successor, the identically shaped but dark brown-coloured Odyssey 2100 from 1978. The Philips products were different in design and functionality from the Magnavox Odyssey game consoles marketed in North America by Magnavox, a North American Philips subsidiary since 1974.

The successor to Philips’s Odyssey consoles, the Videopac system, was marketed in North America as the Magnavox Odyssey².
