GWC - When the Intellivision home video game console released at the dawn of the 1980’s, I was a toddler. My father chose to purchase it over the popular Atari 2600. Whatever his reasons, my earliest video game memories involve the Intellivision, particularly beating him in Armor Battle when I was four or five years old and ending his desire to play video games ever again. That is a true story.
Ship2Block20 get a chance to see Intellivision and Videogame History Museum team up for Comikaze 2013, to bring an amazing booth.
Chad travels to the Intellivision Lives! event at Manhattan Beach, recalls the success of the Intellivision, meets the original design team, the Blue Sky Rangers, and announces a new site giveaway. Phew!
When EastBayRI was a kid during the great Atari 2600 vs. Intellivision war. They always thought Intellivision was for rich kids – probably because George Plimpton was in the commercials. They never owned one at the time, but it was clear the Intellivision had superior graphics and a more advanced control pad. That didn’t mean the games were more fun to play, however, but some of them were excellent.
And they still are.
Intellivison was amazing.
