The idea was not raped. The Oddyesy was only able to play a limited amount of games related to the "paddle" control (Pong).

The Brown Box was designed to only play Pong. Which was his own creation as well. When Magnovox got rights to the console, Pong came with it and later other paddle based games followed.

Atari did get proper rights to Pong, but the system itself, was the next step in console gaming, not a raped version of the Oddyssey. In truth, the Atari was created to play arcade based games at home. They were the first to introduce a hand held "joystick", which was an improvement to the paddle controllers of Oddyssey.

If you look up the patents of Atari and Oddyesy you will find that there are differences. The main difference was the Oddyssey had built in games, where Atari had the cartridge changeable games.

We had an Oddyssey, I know this cause I broke it when I was 5 or 6 years of age. When I was 7, I got an Atari.

No the worst case scenario; I was at playing pokemon yellow. boy do I love pokemon yellow. Anyways, I was playing it during a field trip on the bus and I lend it to my friend to play. Out of all the time to be bullied. My friend gets bullied into letting this boy play my GameBoy color. I was like okay no problem. But then soon after the boy throws it out the window. I was heated then ever, Yes it's my favorite pokemon along with Gameboy color. I was so wanted to give him one right in the smacka. Never got that chance but I so wanted my handheld and all my data. Oh well life goes on.
