Do you get to throw an axe at Vince Foster?

I'm surprised there wasn't an 'avoid being sodomized by a crazy hillbilly' component to this game.

it's no ninja golf.

I'm talkin, "Oh you think you can cheat at this game? Well I'm gonna THROW AN AXE INTO YOUR FACE!" kind of pissed off.

Dane Cook just yelled at me.

Imagic made some of the best games... :D

Ah, Intellivision. Some of my old favorites...

Night Stalker


Shark! Shark!


Advanced Dungeons and Dragons


Bomb Squad (it talked!)


Lock 'n' Chase


Boxing


Bowling


Burger Time


Buzz Bombers


Ours was plagued with problems, though, and we kept having to take it in for repairs. At some point, we purchased a shiny new NES. The graphics were comparatively stunning, but being the change-fearing child I was, I played the Intellivision more frequently (when it wasn't being fixed). But finally, the Intellivision broke down for good and I had to jump ship.

I found an Intellivision in a store a few years ago and bought it. It was fun for awhile, but games I remembered as being insanely difficult (Dungeons and Dragons, Shark Shark) were really freakin' easy. It's collecting dust in a box somewhere.

Although I recently picked up Intellivision Lives! for my PS2, which has most of the old classics on it.

Hahahah...forgot about Night Stalker. Shark! Shark! was one of my favorites though. Best game I ever played on the intellivision though was Discs of Tron. The controller was perfect for the game.

Tron: Deadly Dis(c?)ks!

Oh yeah, good post elchip!

In the bonus round, you get to kill Vince Foster and make it look like a suicide

My grandmother had an Intellivision at her place, I think it was a cousin's old system. I loved playing that thing.

Astrosmash and Frog Bog were my favorites, plus Shark! Shark! when i got bored. All the other games gave me anxiety attacks, I get the same feeling playing Metal Gear Solid games that I did with Lock & Chase.

Yah. Did they give you a cool jacket like the silver Atari space jacket?

Great graphics. ehehe

I just remembered playing Skiing too. That game was awesome.

Fark Quake 4 and Half Life 2 give me skiing with it's intense action and high resolution graphics any day!

Oh, wow, the page was loading as I read the headline and then a graphic loaded that made the screen jump, as a result I read this headline as: "High Times investigates Coca-Cola's cocaine madman who throws axes"

I swear to God. And now any article I read today will have to live up to the expectations I had for that story :(

I loved Dracula for the Intellivision! I still have mine to this day! I play it when I get burned out on Civ IV and Age of Empires III.

I also liked Sea Battle, Astrosmash, Nightstalker, Spacehawk, and Maze-A-Tron.

i loved night stalker, it haunted my dreams. a relative had the intellivision and it used to be the highlight of driving five hours to see them. although the atari later came out with some knock off versions of the Intellivision games they were never as good.

but...how do you play advanced dungeons and dragons with that?

Utopia!

I loved my intellivision, much more than my Atari.

My favorite game was The Dreadnaught Factor, there hasn't been a better "blow up a mothership" game since then.

AD&D also gets honorable mention.

I could play Astrosmash for hours; thank goodness for emulation.

*counts arrows*

Dennis_Moore, nice!! Watch out the for the mad blob, it will eat your arrows!

At least the Spectrum had Jet Set Willy. :D

Sea Battle.

That is all.

Vectron was the most difficult game ever.

Could bowl a 300 almost every time.

Super Football was the shiat. Programmable routes for receivers and a shadow to follow the ball.

Super Baseball sucked. The "jet boost" enabled you to beat out almost any ground ball.

Motocross was fun.

Utopia was cool but Sea battle ruled. Mission X and B-17 Bomber get honorable mention.

Bomb Squad was very cool.

B-17 bomber was the shiat "That was oooooon target".

Pinball, baseball (with Intellivoice), Bump and Jump....many hours wasted on that system. My grandma still has the system and a crapload of games....I'm talking at least 50. That will be worth a few buck someday methinks.

Opera can do that.

I sold my childhood Intellivision in very good condition, in the box, with all manuals and plastic wrap, with about 15 games all in their boxes with manuals and overlays, for $40 Canadian to raise money for my eigth grade graduation.

Intellivision was lovely. The only console that I ever owned prior to my first computer, which certainly makes it special, because it had the best controller ever once you get used to it, and I hadn't yet learned that computers are better than consoles anyway.

The best games were Utopia and Treasures of Tarmin. Both could keep me occupied for a while. Skiing was great for two or more players.

I forgot about White Water, but I had it. Managed to get fairly good at it, as well. I actually bought a lot of Imagine games. By far the strangest was the copy of Dracula, in the Dracula box with the Dracula label on the cartridge, but had Ice Trek on it. I don't think the title screen was there, at least without a name, so the fact that the game didn't resemble the manual or box screenshots or had any vampire theme at all puzzled me for ages.

Kind of wish I still had it, in that "small fortune on ebay" kind of way.

Oh on that same day I also sold our old unused electric mower for $40 but threw in the 70-ft heavy duty extension cord which itself cost more than $40.

Seeing that page, I just realized that the Thunderbird logo is NOT a picture of The Tick with a big smile on his face.

Can someone here help me recall a video game? This article reminded me of it, but for the life of me I can't remember the name. It was a game about white-water tubing down a river or something. And you paddled with your hands...

Man, I used to play it at a bowling alley and this is going to annoy me. Time to go troll KLOV...

Could it be Toobin'? That's the only tubing game I can even think of...

The Biplanes game from Triple Action is my favorite from Intellivision. Followed closely by Burgertime and Snafu.

Sounds a lot like Toobin' to me as well.

Does anyone remember the game, Beauty and the Beast for Intellivsion?

Oddly enough, I'd still rank Sea Hunt as perhaps the best submarine game ever made.

Teutonic_Knight

I've got a copy. An obvious rip off of Donkey Kong, but far superior to the Intellivision version of said Kong.

/I've got around 65 games for my intellivision.
//Thanks ebay
//Kool-Aid Man anyone?

Ahh, Intellivision. Spent hours playing Football and Baseball, organized tournaments for same among my friends. Snafu was cool, as well as Microsurgery. Have a console and games put away for my granddaughter. She'll get a charge out of what a dinosaur I really am someday.

/atari 2600 is where it's at.

I never liked the Intellivision back in the day for one main reason: every pixel was two scan lines tall. Yeah, I was a serious geek even back then. We got an RCA Studio II (one of the two pre-2600 systems) mostly because I wanted to write code for it someday (never did...yet, anyhow). If I knew just how wierd the Intelly was inside, I'd have been even more against it.

This is all the more ironic because I now have a mostly complete Intellivision collection (only about 20 short), including Fathom and Tutankham, but never had the interest to drag one out and play anything other than a few games of Diner.

I know I'm wierd, I'd rather write code for these older systems than play any but just a few games.
