friend got his intellivision chipped and copied games cost 25c so you could get 70games for 15 dollors they even printed overlays as well
-
Wow I knew they had that somewhere but never saw a commercial. nice!
-
WHOA! This existed? Before Sega Channel and hotel boxes?
-
Wow!! I thought SEGA Channel was the pioneering technology!
-
This is really funny.. I had no idea there was already a internet channel back in the 80's for atari and intellivision games.
The games itself look like crapy atari games. LOL. This is funny. So the whole internet game channel was not created by Sega and was not the first. LOL.

@gjc82071 The service for the Atari 2600 was called Gameline. I have a magazine ad for it somewhere. This makes a lot more sense than renting games from a video store. (When I first saw Nintendo games for rent, my reaction was "Who would want to do that?")

@racerx135 Thanks for sharing that!!!! I love history of all kinds, & I love retro gaming & computer/gaming history. I am 38yo & as a kid I had Atari 2600/5200. I think there was something similar to this for the the Atari (or maybe the same thing? or maybe it was Starpath?), but I never had anything like this. Anyway, I have read about stuff like this, but getting a little 1st hand user account/info is really cool! Thanks again!

many companies have tried this type of thing over the years and all have been Epic Fail .....
-
Sounds great.
Also, I love the mild jab at Atari in this.

That was kinda what I meant hehe :P The sega channel was one way also. I was just surprised that it had existed so long ago; when it came out for sega, I thought it was pretty awesome LOL I had no clue that it had already been done before :P

Cable sold me the console and rented me the PCable unit. It was $15 a month and had 15 games at launch and ever 1st of the month it would change, I remember waiting for 12am on 1st of month for them to change the games. No way for the system to promote upcoming games so you never new what new games would appear or what ones would go to make room. They would mail you the overlays ahead of time. Later they upped it to 20 and I think 25 games.when the service ended they sent me 10 free boxed games.
