About
Unlike the Atari 2600, the Intellivision focused on more strategy and RPG style games, as well as more in depth action games. It featured odd, disc controllers that fans love and critics hate. It also had amazing sports titles for the early 80s. Many excellent games exist for this system though most are original titles and not arcade ports. Some popular action games were Burgertime, Night Stalker, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Cloudy Mountain, and Armor Battle. The Intellivision was re-released in the late 80’s by a group of former Mattel employees who bought the rights to the console and marketed it under the INTV brand. They completed and sold several unfinished games from the video game crash of ’83. Games from this era are generally highly advanced, often being unequalled complexity-wise until the Genesis came out. One golf game has 99 holes and the ability to design your own, for example. Two computer add-ons exist, as well as a voice module.
