  • The Intellivision Football looks just like the Atari RealSports Football...

  • The Plimpton commercials "inspired" Atari to create the RealSports games. Atari owners can thank Intellivision for forcing Atari to improve their sports games!

  • Thumbs up if UKRetroGameAddict brought you here

  • I can't think of Intellivision without thinking of Plimpton. Seeing the commercials back then, he made the console seem even more sophisticated and intelligent. Best spokesman Mattel could have found.

  • "I found Intellivision more realistic"...as the Right fielder throws out the runner at second going from first. That happens everyday....

  • he said at the beginning: "i'll try almost anything once.." lmao don't bend over in jail

  • My aunt and uncle never had kids... but, they bought an Intellivision game system for their cottage up north... each season, we would go to the cottage.... each season, I got to play the Intellivision system... that was 1983... I love my aunt and uncle... I wish they had kids of their own.... they would have been great parents.

  • Intellivision was awsome except the controllers were ass lol

  • @digiprez77 It's 10 bits, not 16.

  • @intellaricovision ur doing it wrong

  • These commercials make me realize I grew up in the Dark Ages. :)

  • I could deal with the Intel Controllers. The real problem was that you couldn't buy replacements (that I know of). Basketball, Football and Baseball were real serious with me and my friends. It was great how you could "lead" receivers of passes on football and basketball. The computer man would intuitively go to the ball. Sicc
