INTELLIVISION DOES! 16 bit arcade graphics... (no really; it was a 16 bit system) You can't do this on Atari! INTELLIVISION DOES! 16 bit sports action... You can't do this on Atari! INTELLIVISION DOES! 16 button precision controller... You can't do this on Atari! INTELLIVISION DOES! INTELLVISION DOES! INTELLVISION DOES! What Atari don't!

Did getting low grades so your parents would by you a computer, ever actually work for anybody? Nowadays grades don't matter because they're aren't any jobs anyway, so that would have been a smart move for a kid back then, if that actually worked. Of course, back then that $500 scholarship probably paid for a year of college, but nowadays that won't even buy enough gas to get there.

Sadly, Intellivsion was D.O.A. in 1980 because Atari licensed Space Invaders and put out a decent version. That was a must-have game that more than doubled Atari's sales, making Atari THE system, and giving them 70% market share. (I didn't know that Lock 'n' Chase was an arcade game, but so what?) Atari having Asteroids and Missile Command in 1981 increased their desirability. But releasing Pac-Man in March 1982 sealed the deal since that was another must-have game, and Pac-Man fever resulted in that port selling 2-5 million more Ataris. Intellivision (and Intellivision II) sold about 3 million total. Nine months later, despite it being a bad port that got mocked in the Intellivision commercial, it was still a top seller according to Billboard's ranking of video games. They were right in their ad that they had better sports games than Atari, but the public had moved on from 2-player games. I always felt that the ad 4:53 where Intellivision is saying, we have space games too, was kind of pathetic.

I missed the Intellivision II ad, but I learned recently it was just a cheaper version of Intellivision, not a new system. I heard they were losing money hand-over-fist when that came out in 1983. Getting an arcade game like Burger Time was too little, too late. Intellivision ad: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qputYYeiaLx4hLM Someone said that ad scared them as a kid! I'm sure that's what Mattel wanted!
