Definitely try Youtube. I've found old cartoons (like Kidd Video) that I saw way back in the day, before there were even VCRs. You'd be amazed the stuff you can find there.

Don't you think it would be cool if some company took all the old intellivision, colecovision and Atari games and put them into a console. You would also get the old comptrollers for each system. I am sure no one owns the rights to intelivision or colecovision any more so no one would have to pay royalties or anything.

go on xbox and download the arcade and it has just about every game from that era

January 5th, 2011 at 5:44 pm –

I was a child during a good Atari 2600 vs. Intellivision war. we always suspicion Intellivision was for abounding kids – substantially given George Plimpton was in a commercials. we never owned one during a time, though it was transparent a Intellivision had higher graphics and a some-more modernized control pad. that didn’t meant a games were some-more fun to play, however, though some of them were excellent.

And they still are.

The latest Intellivision compilation, “Intellivision Lives!” for Nintendo’s DS systems, is packaged with over 60 aged propagandize games. Given a complexity of a strange Intellivision controllers, a DS is ideally matched for this emulation. The reduce hold shade displays a strange diversion overlays to transcribe a feel of regulating a strange Intellivision palm controllers. The diversion also supports internal wireless to another DS regulating one cartridge for two-player games. this is a large understanding given many of a best games for a Intellivision were two-player, such as Utopia, Sea Battle, Bi-Planes and a classical sports games (which were scarcely always improved than those found on a Atari 2600).

Should we buy it?

The nostalgia cause for this pretension is high – though that doesn’t meant all a games live adult to your memories. one that does is Night Stalker. (I consider this diversion is value a $19.99 cost tab all by itself.)

One vital beating is a finish miss of extras – no additional artwork, interviews with programmers or even box art that gaming nerds have come to design with compilations. you can find this things online, though we shouldn’t have to.

Older gamers and those of us who conclude how we got where we are currently will happily dump $19.99 for this one. The kids bustling murdering any other in a latest online frag fest will expected not be impressed.

SPACE – Astrosmash, Space Armada, Space Battle, Space Hawk, Space Spartans, Star Strike

“Intellivision Lives!”

Our take: “Intellivision Lives!” is another gathering of games from a appurtenance that had a insolence to plea a prevalence of a Atari 2600. If we only review that judgment and pronounced “what a ruin is he articulate about?” afterwards we are substantially too immature or too aged to get it. If we have lustful memories of a early days of console gaming, afterwards this competence be a pretension for you.

You might know Intellivision as your beloved first console, or possibly as the ancient relic collecting dust at grandma’s house. whether reliving the old days or exploring your roots, Intellivision Lives! is packed with retro goodness. The compilation appeared on all consoles of the previous generation, but intelligent use of the touchscreen makes this an attractive alternative to an entertainment center cluttered with cartridges.

Most of Intellivision’s heavy-hitters are present, including Astrosmash, Sub Hunt, Tower of Doom, and the Space Invaders clone, Space Armada. Role-playing aficionados will especially appreciate the inclusions of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games, Cloudy Mountain and Treasure of Tarmin, respectively renamed Crown of Kings and Minotaur. Regrettably, the latter is marred by a chopped screen that obscures vital information.

There are no third-party titles, which is understandable due to licensing issues, but still worth mentioning. you will have to look elsewhere for classics such as Q*bert, Burgertime, Pitfall, and Mouse Trap. Also, I can’t help wishing that Kool-Aid Man and Masters of the Universe had made the cut. It’s not that either was especially good, but they do get points for being unique.

Intellivision Lives! boasts over 60 games, but you might only see 42 of them. The rest are multiplayer-only, and some are obvious padding. is anyone really yearning to relive Learning Fun and its sequel with a friend? On the plus side, Intellivision Lives! makes use of single-card download play; a tragically underutilized feature of the DS.

Atari 2600 was the star of its generation, but Intellivision was a technical powerhouse. Animations were fast and fluid, and hearing semi-intelligible speech from your speakers was a thrill. The system was also home to some of the most complex games of the era. even now Space Spartans is a surprisingly involved (and confusing) combat simulator, while the pseudo-3D of Minotaur makes Atari’s Adventure look pitifully simplistic.

Intellivision was able to pull off such intricate games due to its controller. in addition to the joystick, there was a 12-button keypad that plastic overlays slid onto. The DS recreates this feature perfectly with the touchscreen, and even improves some with custom artwork. Instructions for each game are easily accessible via the pause menu, although some are too brief to provide competent explanation.

Although Intellivision Lives! provides more games than most compilations, it lacks the extra content that we have come to expect; no additional artwork, advertisement, facts, or timelines. It’s unfortunate, but certainly not a deal-breaker. Intellivision Lives! on the DS isn’t a grandiose production by any means, but touchscreen controls and portable multiplayer make this the best rendition yet.
