The Philips P2000T[2][3][4] home computer was Philips' first real entry in the home computer market in 1980,[5] after the Philips Videopac G7000 game system[6] (better known in North America as the Magnavox Odyssey2) which they already sold to compete with the Atari 2600 and similar game systems. There was also a P2000M[2][5][7][4] version with an additional 80-column text card for use with a monochrome monitor. This version shipped with a monitor cabinet also housing a dual 5¼-inch floppy disk drive.[1] The P2000C version, introduced in 1982, was portable.[5][4][8]
The P2000 systems can be emulated with the MESS software, and since 2015 they are part of MAME.[1] Other emulators also exist.[9]
