To fully understand the #Atari takeover of #Intellivision, imagine a hollowed out corpse, piloted from within by a #French armadillo, devouring the dessicated remains of its former rival.
Anyway, the shitposts on Atari Age should be a sight to behold.
TIL that Intellivision still exists as a company. I had an Intellivision in the 80s, and it was technically superior in every way to the Atari 2600... but all my friends had Ataris...
Should've posted about this piece on the second generation of video game consoles by @siliconundergro before the one on the third generation I linked the other day. This one's super cool too. Colecovision, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari consoles, etc https://dfarq.homeip.net/second-generation-video-game-consoles

INTV has hands-down the best gameplay content. It's a toss-up between A26 and VIC as to which is the prettiest. The A8 version is - disappointingly - barely distinguishable from the A26.
The later C64 version is pretty poor. It's missing nearly all of the visual charm of earlier versions, especially the VIC one.

🧠📺 The Mattel Electronics Intellivision is a second-generation video game console from 1979. It features a 2 MHz processor, the General Instrument CP1610, which is related to the one used in the PDP-11, and it addresses 1K of memory.
YouTube personality John Hancock takes a detailed look at the classic action game Super Mario Bros. This ordinarily wouldn't be a big deal, except the game is running on an unexpected console... the Intellivision, released in the late 1970s....
1/3 Nel 1983 avviene un curioso botta-e-risposta fra Atari e Mattel Intellivision. Si svolge fra le pagine del primo numero della rivista "Videogiochi", uscita nel Gennaio di quell'anno.
Questo scambio si direbbe la prima vera e propria manifestazione di console war in Italia.
Video games are an expensive hobby, but the truly determined among us find ways to make it work, even on a tight budget. In an interview with My Retro Life, John Hancock talks about a special Christmas when he received a TurboGrafx-16. His mother was ashamed that a clearance priced game console at Toys 'R Us was all she could...
Who'd have thunk the Intellivision would still be going strong forty-five years after its release? That's forty-five years longer than its would-be successor the Amico lasted......
Elektronite just released three games for the Intellivision that may be familiar to old school gamers... Jeff Minter's Hovver Bovver, where you mow a lawn while dodging suburban threats, Bill Hogue's Miner 2049er, which tasks you with "painting" stages while dodging creepy mutants, and David Rolfe's Steamroller, an obscure...
May the force be with you in Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back for the Mattel #Intellivision released in 1983.
"Things are really hot on the ice planet Hoth. Imperial Walkers are approaching Rebels' power generator and unless you can prevent them, they'll blow the entire Rebel base sky high!"
Sounds like a mission to me! Sadly haven't got any controller overlays in this one, but great I have a game catalogue in the box of Parker Video Games.
