No it wasn't. You crazy. First console to have cartridges was the Magnavox Odyssey and the first to have color was the Channel F.

I LOVE the music they use! 70s and 80s for the win!!!

Good review, is the system worth owning and collecting for if I already own a Atari 7800 and Atari computer?
-
i have a intelvison plug&play
-
@TenguGuy The first console with a Microprocessor and Interchangeable ROM cartridges was the Fairchild Cannel F. The Magnavox did not use ROM cartridges or contain a Microprocessor. The cards just altered the circuit path of the console.

coleco is way better where u can swap the controller with an atari or a sega genises
-
The games had great gameplay.
-
Some elements of this system haven't aged well (the controller. yuck) but overall it has lots of charm and "Night Stalker", "Lock 'N' Chase", "Demon Attack" and many others are always worth playing in any decade.

@TenguGuy Acually, the Magnavox Odyssey acually had 28 built in games, no cartridges were ever released, simply because there weren't supposed to be. (Although I may be wrong, I might be thinking of something else....)
-
Intelevision was better than the Colicovision?
Well both are the same I guess
-
the magnavox did not use "cartridges" as we know them.
the odysseys carts did not contain any data whatsoever, but they shut diferent circuits (which will trigger the white blocks to behave slightly different) so i wouldnt let them count as game cartridges.
How can the Intellivision be 16-bit when the games from the 8-bit Sega Master System and Nintendo looks better ?
And what about the Sega "Genesis" it was 16-bit an looked dam nice, I am just a little confused.

"The registers in the microprocessor, where the mathematical logic is processed, were 16 bits wide, however, CPU's instruction set and game cartridges were only 10 bits wide."
