Intellivision® TV Commercial: PlayCable "Mickey's Pick"

[steve5123456789]

Ment to be very very rare.

[WebVMan]

That really is Intelligent Television!

[checkunderyourbed]

Pretty interesting at how primitive the thing was. The impression was that it actually responded interactively but it actually just broadcasted all game codes at the same time in a large script and then just waited until the one you picked came along. On a side note...that kid creepily resembles a young Waldo...

i had playcable and i ordered astrosmash and i got asteroids

[coolasshole23]

wow, playcable? its like todays early version of XBOX live, its not the same thing, but its the same idea. interesting

[8motozero8]

I have every game they showed here. My dad would get me one every Friday for like $2.99 at a store called Mars back in 1984. They had a huge glass case of them, but I guess they were cheap because they had been out for some years by then.

[kurisux]

It was during the crash: games could be had for next to nothing back then.

Not like I remember though: I was born in early 85, so the NES was right around the corner... >_>

[WebVMan]

$2.99? You can barely find comics for that price now. Good deal. Then again, you can find PS2 games for $1.99, so I don't know. How long ago?

[8motozero8]

@WebVMan this was around 1985, I was like 5 years old and kurisux is right, I think this was because of the video game crash at the time and things were getting liquidated. Years later I scored the same deal at KB Toys on the sega master system. I think those games were like 10 bucks. I played most every game system, just not when they first came out, shoot, I got Ataris outta the trash, I even scored the one with the keyboard built on it with popeye and james bond to boot. Those were the days!

[red3y3z1]

I didnt even try to lose the game!!!!!!!!!!!

[wastedyouth191985]

YOU JUST LOST THE GAME.

[Rixhard912]

i just lost it

[gloomyowl1]

0:08 did he really say these games were worth $500!!!

[dustinjr1993]

back in the day, yeah!

[mac19oo]

I understand that too... holy shit this games cost a lot... LMAO

[Dalbert342]

All together were 500 bucks,tard

[ayeroxor]

Is that kid a bobblehead?

[chevvok]

i don't know but it sure as hell makes me want to display him on a bobblehead mantel.

[shortshire]

@Tovock, They need to bring Sega Channel back, I remember the days of paying 30 dollars and every sega game at your finger tips

[Tovock]

anyone remember sega channel? =D i loved that shit

[lonewolf31337]

hell yeh we used to get stoned and play the sega channel all night. the good old days

[ExPunkStar]

0:03 why is he sniffing the cards? What a freak.

[Anarkissed23]

I will forever wonder if Mickey ever got his game of baseball =(

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

@Anarkissed23 The service probably died on him before he could play baseball.

[ChomuSclavus]

HEY! What'd you get when you DIALED THAT NUMBER???

[fetymann]

That kid is a horrble actor....

[d2girls]

This is awesome!!!

[SlckJwdBtnk]

Where da fuck did anyone find this?

LOL

Forget Xbox Live, I want some Intellivision. Maybe Mickey will rise from the grave and play some baseball with me.

[Rachman1337]

It's like virtual console, except you can't keep the games.

[MattelAquarius]

I like video games. Intellivision is for video games. I like Intellivision.

[glichedout]

true

[gguru1]

I could only imagine how cool this must have been, to actually download programs in your own home via a network at a time when the GUI wasn't even introduced to computers yet.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

I could only imaging how cool it must have been for a redneck to come into your home to play intellevision with you, instead of trying to molest you.

[daystar]

are you retarded? what's your prob? are you a molester? idiot u are.....

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Quite ironic for a person who spends their life flaming to call someone else retarded. Why not get a girlfriend you fucking worthless child.

Pathetic u are...

[daystar]

I do have a girlfriend dipshit...why don't you grow up and get a clue? quit wasting my time.. I will not reply to your stupid crap anymore

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Erm, your hand doesn't count as a girlfriend loser. Someone would have to be a total brainless slut to go out with you. Considering you go round flaming people all the time, you sound like a real winner.

[jackaltraceur]

That was actually a really funny comment.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Thanks :D
