Although I've kinda organised these into sections, it should be noted that many sites cover many different things beyond where I've placed them.
If you have a site that mentioned the Videopac/Odyssey2 in any way, positive or negative, please let me know so I can include it here.
All of these sites were working as at April 2008.
