Summary

Analogic is one of the 12 original games that were shipped with the Magnavox Odyssey system. It runs on Cartridge No.3 and uses play-chips with an overlay. A math game where players can move to either squares depicted on the overlay based on if the number on the square is even or odd and is the sum of the other player's move and another number Analogic is a brain teaser played on a galactic map made of numbered squares. One player starts in planet ODD while the other starts in planet EVEN and the objective is to be the first to reach the opponent's planet. The ODD player is only allowed to move to a square if it's number summed with EVEN's current square totals an ODD number, and vice-versa.

Storyline

"A space race through the numeric maze of a computer charted galaxy! A fascinating electronic addition game for all ages" A strange small logic game where each player must reach other player's planet first. The player from the planet ODD tries to reach the planet EVEN before the player from the planet EVEN reaches the planet ODD. The movement principle is as follows: the EVEN player may move only to a square whose number combines with ODD's last move to total to an even number. ODD may move to a square whose number totals to an ODD figure when combined with EVEN's last move...
