Intellivision Lives With Classic Console Compilation

Thanks to 1UP for their review of Intellivision Lives! for Xbox, as "the Atari 2600's most successful rival" in the U.S. gets its own retro compilation, also released for PlayStation 2. The review appreciates the "well-crafted collection" encompassing "roughly sixty games for a wallet-friendly $20", and savors the way "the games are presented via arcade machines within an amusingly kitschy virtual '80s pizza parlor." Although it has some issues with the in-game controls, since "...the Intellivision had intricate controllers featuring a numeric keypad", the piece concludes by noting that "...fans of the system should have no reservations about picking up a copy." We've also previously covered the Intellivision stand-alone 'TV games', as featured on the official Intellivision site.
