That's the Odyssey 2. We had the first one, it came out in 1972 and was basically the precursor to Pong. It came with a bunch of different games, but somehow they all boiled down to twiddling knobs to move a rectangle around the screen.
Do you mean Electronic Games magazine? Yes! I had a subscription to that, it was like getting a Sears Christmas Catalogue every month! Heaven.
Yes, it's the Odyssey 2. I remembered having to buy KC Muchkin because Pac-Man was Atari exclusive. (Yes, kids there was console exclusive back then).
And yes Electronic Games magazine! That was it. Yeah it was so painful to read because all the games were coming out for Atari 2600. I learn how to read English from gaming magazine, so I guess video game is "educational"!
