Intellivision games were great until the Coleco came out. That controller was 100 times better.
What was Mattel thinking with that goofy disc thingy?

The intellivision had a 16-bit CPU , but the graphics were 4-bit , giving it a 16 color palette.
also it was a quite slow 16-biter since the CPU operated around 894.8KHz
while the Atari's 8-bit CPU ran at about 1.19MHz

I could hardly tell the difference between the Intellivision games and the real sports.

I still have my Intellvision, and I still play it from time to time. It was awesome gaming back in the early 80s when I was a kid. Colecovision was by far my fave and I also still have it and play it from time to time.

I have the PS2 Intellvision game, they should redo all those games for the new consoles.

I think they will on the Nintendo Wii's Shop Channel. They released games from systems such as NeoGeo, Turbografx 16, and Commodore 64. :)
