Intellivision Lives: Tommy Tallarico Will Relaunch 1980s Console (venturebeat.com)

craters writes: A wave of nostalgia has hit gamers, with Nintendo and Atari taking advantage with launches, both recent and pending, of older game consoles. Now they'll have a new competitor with Intellivision Entertainment. Originally released in 1980, the Intellivision console and its successors sold millions of units over three decades. The new Intellivision system (name TBA) will carry on the company tradition of "firsts" with its new concept, design and approach to gaming. The original Intellivision system generated many "firsts" in the video game industry including the first 16-bit gaming machine, the first gaming console to offer digital distribution, the first to bring speech/voice to games, the first to license professional sports leagues and organizations and the first to be a dedicated game console and home computer.

...I'll just tell you now that Intellivision SUCKED.

I never had any of the game systems - Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, etc but played them incessantly at friends houses.

And NOBODY wanted to go over any play Kelly's intellivision. Nobody. The controllers sucked so bad.
