Intellivision commercial

[TheMrMattronix]

We're going to say the same thing about PS3 and Xbox in 30 years...

[Lunarmoon67]

ahhh the old days.

[redoutlander]

Intellivision was the first video game system i played. My Grandparents owned one in the early 80s

[chromegenious9000]

I would love to go back in time with my xbox just to see the looks on their faces.

[Dusty594]

@chromegenious9000 Take a PS3... you'd get a better reaction out of them. 54GB on a single disk is a little more impressive than 4.7...

[SpeedAndSlowKing]

you know what made me laugh? when it said it was sophisticated.

[waytomuchsparetime]

My parents use to go home to my grandpa the farmer playing astrosmash with the fireplace running so it was warm for them all to play.

[xmiind22]

Where is m LED monitor and my Nvidia graffics..... FUCK

[DeineFails]

VSAUCE!

[HeavenlyMakeUp]

We had an intellivision!

[TheTallGuy31]

why is this ad so creepy?

[regularjohn09]

SOLD its the sparcle that does it for me

[Frozenflutter]

"With the clearest game displays available today" lol

[QueenLivia1]

VSAUSE!

[ImaBaconCake]

Could you imagine going back in time and showing someone an Xbox 360?! That would be freaking awesome.

[supervegito2277]

@ImaBaconCake it would... but tbh i think my 17 inch hp laptop is a bit easeir to carry... not to mention connect... :D

[liger411]

Lol when video-games were considered intelligent...

[dandaman1300]

[darkmaster489]

Wonkavision is better.

[1CDubCDub1]

[flamingarse1]

[YayItDrops]

[DougMcDave]

That was a great system back then...

[heyuxyz1]

TWO BIT YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!

[THUNDERBONE666]

Had one when I was a kid. Don't knock it! That shit was state of the art back then!! Better than playin' in the yard with wood toys like the generation before mine.

[ericmarshall19]

cant wait for this to come out

[cpclubpenguincpx2]

@ericmarshall19 uhh.. this was an old system. Was that supposed to be a joke, or something?

[Dunes]

Oh yeah,I could never forget Hills,I wish they were still around. And yeah I do vaguely remember the intellivision back then.

[dragonfitter]

we had a second hand one of these it was pure shite think we where the only people in the uk to own one

[TheROBReviews]

during the video game domino, they used las vegas poker and blackjack twice!

[MorreskiBear]

@TheROBReviews That other game included the map packs and all DLC.

[luigicusi]

im surprised i havent seen a joke that said better than madden yet

[Ch4rlz4rd]

I remember Hills. One week it was there and the next week it was Ames then shortly after it was an abandon building.

[Comptekhs]

Yes Hills Department Store Ruled I remember that store much better than walmart

[Geronimo2705]

I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a kid when these things came out. I know this isn't the first ever console but just the idea of seeing this on the TV with so much excitement and wonder. Priceless.

[baarbear]

@Geronimo2705 I was there friend. Growing up during the golden years of video gaming in the early 80s was a truly magical time. A lot of classic games came out during that era. Astrosmash, River Raid, Minotaur (Treasure of Tarmin) and so forth. .

[kattastrophik]

@Geronimo2705

I was one of those kids.Enjoying PS3 now after 30 years. =)

[playsafe869]

@Geronimo2705 in the future our great grand kids could be saying the exact same thing about our generations consoles, looking back and laughing. While they don't play a character, they experience the character. But hey I'm a gamer till I die, even if I'm the 70 year old man sitting in my game dome still shootin zombies

[DieHardChevyMan]

@nintendodragon13 I wish I could find that 3D baseball game and I never seen hills in Atlanta.My system came from a store called Richway (Intellivision)

[DieHardChevyMan]

I still have my intellivison game system and it still works.I have about 60 games.I pull it out evey now and then and laugh

[ChannelTv13]

there is a remade intellivision made by techno source it is 25 games in 1 i own it and now adays ther starting get rare

[Ryanrm]

I know intellivision and hills. Guess I am getting old.

[StevenMcFlyJr]

Are you freaking KIDDING me? Do I know Intellivision?! My dad had TWO of these babies in the 80's !!!

And "Hills" RULED our city in the late 80's & mid 90's here in area of Pennsylvania that my family lived in! "Hills is where the Toys Are" MAN!

[MattTheSaiyan]

Intellivision was a great console, ahead of it's time.

[sawdust5]

Hills,Uncle Bill's and Gold Circle were they owned by the same people?

[11miwp]

Hills always had the best toy displays full on GI Joe battles!

[rockabillycat1954]

Yeah, I remember Hills. There used to be one in Charleston WV (where I'm from). In fact it was the hills plaza on Patrick Street. They used to have an awesome huge neon sign with flashing chaser lights around it. And when you went inside, the first thing you'd notice was the smell of fresh popcorn. I miss those days.

[RizingBlackSun]

Hills was awsome. I was a small small boy when Hills was around. I think it was taken over by Ames. But Ames wasn't bad.

[misfitsbalzac]

Long Live Hills!!!

[xBADxGAMESx]

still have my intellevision, kicks ass!

[HillsDepartmentStore]

I had an Atari 2600,which my parents bought at Hills,I really miss that store.

[ivanha1]

Whats up whit that store

[Zeldaartist]

i have intelevision LIVES on ps2 and oh my god i play it for hours on end evry day!

[an147]

I also remember my Intellivision and still have it. I had the idea of gettin´ the Intellivision II but some games were not compatible with it. I got it at "Toys´r Us" with eight cartridges.

[tonyaj1972]

I remember my intellivision! Man, the many hours and thumb absolutly killing me from pushing that circular disc.Hills...now that is another name I haven't heard from in a while (say mid 80's) when I lived near Harrisburg PA

[P0PCULTTURE]

i miss hills. :(

[kommienezuspadt9]

I had an Intellivision. I worked pretty well up until a few years ago, actually.

[DarthBane123]

the intellivsion is sophisticated?

[scoot1105]

I never had an Intellivision. I had an Atari. But i definitely remember Hills. I still got my bike that i bought from Hills back in '93!! I paid for it and rode it home!! LOL

[bobafettfan32]

i remember the intelevision the controls looked like a phone. my friend had 1 and i had atari 2600. God i'm glad we have xbox 360 now i love you tube and being able to watch stuff from childhood takes me back.

[geddyb]

Rule! My first gaming system... The intellivision ruled! When I finally got a nintendo the Hills in Kingsport TN is where I got a lot of games..

"Hills is where the toys are"

[missjess82]

i miss hills popcorn

[geddyb]

Me too!!!!!! My grandma bought it every time she went to Hills!!! They popped it in Coconut oil...

And a Coke Icee please...

[whistlepig75]

you just had to say hills popcorn lol loved that stuff when i was a kid along with a hotdog and a coke icee

[Biohazard1369]

omg yes! Is Hills still around?

[PreviewSubscription]

No,sadly it went out of business in the late 90's.Many of the stores became Ames,and Ames went out of business in 2002.Hills was the Best.

[Biohazard1369]

i agree

[hondolespaul]

Seriously, why are you guys arguing over a thirty year old video game console? I still say hands down that the Vectrex was the best! Atari 2600 wasn't bad but the Vectrex was ahead of its time. I have one here that I bought used in 2004. I should get it out for the holidays. As for Hills, I loved that store!

[ShotsloppyD]

yeah, but the controllers SUCKED!!!!!!

[gleebergloben1]

how dare you state that the tandyvision was a clone. that is complete blasphemy. the tandyvision was the true system, whereas the intellivision was merely a shell of a game system that only played sports games. couldn't play utopia or poker/blackjack or nightstalker. and do not try to dispute my facts because what i say is true. dat is all da people need to know.

[gleebergloben1]

a couple of my friends had the Intellivision, whereas I owned the more sophisticated "Tandyvision" system.

[fawdown]

LOL they played the exact same games. Tandyvision was a clone of the original Intellivision. I have a few games in the closet with Tandy labels, and Sears super video arcade. They all play the same as the original.

[gleebergloben1]

I remember Hills in Aliquippa.  It was a very upscale, expensive shopping center that only sold high-end stuff. they also had the arcade game "Mappy", and I got the high score there, though I didn't win a pizza.

[maljevec1967]

Are we talking about the same place? 'Quip Town?

[maljevec1967]

There was a Hills in the Green Garden shopping plaza near Aliquippa and also one in the Northern Lights shopping center in Baden. What is wrong with you people?

[gleebergloben1]

only rich, snobby, gay people from beaver went to the baden Hills. all the cool, righteous shoppers went to the aliquippa hills. midland rulez da houz.

[maljevec1967]

I tried to respond to the pompous ass comments of GBG1 but this stupid system makes it a new comment instead of a section under the stupid remarks. This is like a geeked up space invaders.

[gleebergloben1]

not only a geeked up space invaders, but also a zaxxon and super-zaxxon. wimp wimp wimp!!! boom boom boom!!!

[RJJSINC]

I spent hours with my friends playing Intellivision, eating pizza and drinking beer during High School....GOOD TIMES!!!!

[sinistermoon]

I bought my Sega Genesis from Hills. They didnt have Hills in Washington(state, Were I was born). But they had it in Ohio(were I moved after). Would have been cool to buy an Intellivision there. I bought my Intellivision games at Kaybe Toys.

[LTDANMAN44]

i stole a techmo bowl nintendo cassette from hills once and got my ass beat

[xteacher]

Hills was the place to get Halloween costumes and cheap Atari 400/800 games when I was a kid. If you could get past the rancid cooking oil smell in the "lobby," you were good to go, but, of course, that smell permeated the whole store. Sometimes, if I was a good little white-trash boy whilst in Hills, Momma would buy me an Icee.

[robotecha5]

I love Intellivision. I dont find the controller difficlut at all.

[CheapnessAndBeauty]

Hills was awesome.

[eyeh8cbs]

Those controllers were IMPOSSIBLE! I have an Intellivision but rarely play it just because the controllers are such a pain, and since they're hard-wired to the console you couldn't get 3rd party controllers like with the Atari systems!

[yomikey617]

Do a Wikipedia search on Hills. Hills was more or less a VERY ghetto version of K-Mart (yes the K can get worse), and I recall Hills being one of those discount stores that based their business off selling Layaway plans.

[ProductionX]

Heh, I remember going to Hills down the street from my house, and having to eat hot dogs standing up in a little section before going in to shop!

[Engage777]

They made you eat a hot dog before you shopped?

[ProductionX]

Not really, but the entrance to the store was located behind the snack bar anyway.

[Engage777]

Ya, I remember that. Sears used to be the same way.

[ProductionX]

Heh, my Sears didn't even have a restaurant (but the JCPenny's I remember going to a lot once did before it became a beauty salon).
