Classic Game Room HD - INTELLIVISION LIVES! for PS2 review

[@funnypaperz]

Programming by Steve Ettinger, Graphics by me; one of the amazing achievements at the time was the animation Steve provided by having the foreground images and background images go in opposite directions within the same pixel areas... We came up with this game back in 1980...33 years ago!

[@funnypaperz]

If you look close - you might decipher both of our initials written in the stars - SEE for Steve E. Ettinger on the left - JAF for Joe A. Ferreira on the right...I think we got in a little trouble for that at the time.

[@funnypaperz]

For those of you that either have discovered retro-gaming or are old enuff to have played them new - I'd like to share a review of a new PS2 collection that includes one of my never-released Intelevision creations: "MAGIC CAROUSEL". MAGIC CAROUSEL was designed to be a digital/video version of a pre-schoolers "busy box".

[@RebelTaxi]

I remember playing Intelivision Live at my uncles house years ago. I tried that carousel game which I think was categorized as "Unfinished." I had no idea what the hell was going on.

[@muulan03]

Werid seeing you here Rebel

[@beyondobscure]

hmm

[@docsavage4921]

Tower of Doom alone is worth this game. The best real time Rogue-Like ever made, imo.

[@TheBigBentley911]

Watching a video so old that it itself is almost retro, that's about retro games while thinking back to a time that these types of CGR videos were still being created, makes for a really wierd nostalgia-inception. Damn, I miss when CGR made videos like this about games.

[@JerryTerrifying]

Man I love CGR reviews. It's an essential part of my day.

[@JungleBJJ]

"... And now I'm bleeding! From this incision! I really want my... INTELLIVISION!"

[@dave4shmups]

LOL at the Intellivision song, that's freakin' awesome!! I'd get this for Astrosmash and Buzz Bombers alone!

[@LeightonW87]

brilliant review once again, I found it funny with the carosel bit. Go find the swan, the swan. lol

[@VecTron5]

If that cafe existed in real life, I would be it's number one customer.

[@electricmastro]

That tune the piano plays is Maple Leaf Rag by the way. It's just awesome.

[@RP_Williams]

That Intelliivision song sounds like it's sung by Derek from CGRundertow lol

[@PaperBanjo64]

Ha ha😂

[@carsonsmith]

I have the original Intellvision and the Intellivision 2. Love the console! I have the PS2 game too... I love the old video games! Really enjoy your videos....

[@PapaKenny777]

That song is amazing!

[@stephendiloreto8422]

I got this game for Christmas last year and it is awesome. My favorite game on this collection is Astrosmash

[@electricmastro]

That song the little piano plays is the Entertainer by Scott Joplin by the way, it's awesome!

[@Colldan09]

Great review! Nice collection of older games!

[@LorchVHS]

"If 'Magic Carousel' isn't the best game ever, I don't know what is... Thanks to this game I can now count to NINE!" You sir, have made MY night

[@Skriak]

A lovely compilation that has some quality titles and fun presentation. I prefer the Midway Arcade Treasures games personally, but anyone who misses their Intellivision will be very happy with Intellivision Lives!

[@ace-x6m]

Mattel Electronics Presents: BEEEE SEVENTEENNNN BAWMER Nerd: BEEEEEEEE SEVENTEEN BAWWWWMER BEE SEVENTEEN BUWMER

[@SteeScribbles]

Real Human Speech

[@Jotinko]

Great review!!!!. 2:51. BEE-SEVAWNTEEN-BAWMURR!. AVGN reviewed this but he made it very famous thus making the B-17 Bomber bit popular as hell.

[@Monacomaverick]

That opening song is beyond words.. How I love the 80's!

[@Eturnal718]

3:40 is also the entrance music for Ric Flair. Ric Flair is great and so is intellivision WoooooooOOOOOOOOO!!!! :P

[@Curlyheart]

Ric Flair vs Mick Foley

[@DarkCylon]

As an older game player (a couple of years away from 40), I have to say the games of my youth have not aged well at all, lol.

[@Jotinko]

I know it's a good game. I wish I could have been born 10 years earlier (1977) so I could have started my love for Video Games with the classic 1st generation gaming consoles. It would have been a blast to even start out with the Magnovox Oddessy!

[@mrdestructo74]

Best song I have ever heard lol

[@SuperSZ]

2:51 haha impossible not to think instantly about AVGN's review xD

[@BecomingPtII]

This is an amazing collection, and it's insanely cheap. I got this at gamestop for like $3 or something. And Nightstalker is the nuts. Great review as always.

[@mcorleonep]

Even though I was an Atari kid back in the the day I knew several people who had the Intellivision. My favorite games were Space Battle, Night Stalker, and Baseball (when someone else was available to play).

[@DarkCloak]

The "Intellivision Lives!" opening music sounds like a poor man's Pet Shop Boys.

[@BoxcarWillie42]

Great review!

[@AzureGoat]

@Blockygraphics looking at this I see your point. There may be some sort of retro revivial of the 00's at some point but it would be nowhere near as big as the 80's- early 90's revival.

[@timspacedout87]

if Classic Game Room made games.........

[@METROIDFAN258]

I swear to God I could watch that swan dance to the piano all day.

[@fuzzix]

That educational game reminds me of the original GTA games, picking up your missions by phone.

[@therealKINDLE]

Oh Dear.. This just shows the power of Time!

[@jedixo]

this game actualy helped me do an assignement for school.

[@MrMegaManFan]

I just found a used copy for PS2 for $5.99 complete in case with manual - money well spent.

[@BrettDarien]

That Intellivision song is awesome!

[@broceollomon]

Oh, man. That song is awesome.

[@Timmy121088]

the cheering at 7:00 sounds like the sound the fans make when you hit a home run in R.B.I. Baseball for Nintendo

[@dogeymon83]

WHY HAS NO ONE MADE A SEGA MASTER COLLECTION YET!?!?!?! I would design the menus for it, as well as the music, and it would be amazing!!!!

[@evenmorebetter]

I have the GameCube version for my Wii, a decent lot of the games work nicely with an NES RetroPort and an NES Advantage for the controller

[@TheShawnMonge]

The Magic Carousel and the little piano plays "Maple Leaf Rag" By: Scott Joplin I love ragtime music

[@jdkuti1709]

I love that song!

[@sennaho]

I had no idea something like this excisted! That's pretty epic :D I have to get around to buy it sometime!

[@Jumpboots_Jamstrang]

This is one of my favorite ps2 games.

[@Skriak]

That piano is a game in itself!

[@OnionMage]

00:21 I remember playing that soooo much at my friends house. XD

[@xan1242]

OH YEAH!!!The B-Sevanteenh Bawmber!!

[@SpectreFTL]

The dancing animals were just too much for me... lmao

[@CCowell125]

Just ordered this, brand new for PS2, for £1. :) God I love that opening Intellivision song. It's money well spent just to hear that.

[@Sharikoff8]

I can see why the video games market crashed in 80s

[@Kaoelol]

Holy crud lol, that's a creepy song!

[@sinistermoon]

That's very true PoPoNellie. And it also didn't have He-man or the Dungeons and dragon games. I have a few Intellivision reviews on my page. It would be nice to get some more Intellivision enthusiast over there.

[@BinaryReader]

awesome, night stalker for the win, i remember that packaging also. tho, i had my copy on the Mattel Aquarius.

[@mobobber]

That song is awesome.

[@Clipperwhiz1]

The NES lasted that long, too. Both are great consoles, indeed :)

[@marcusmalone]

The Activision Collection for ps2 is also amazing. You can unlock all the old Atari tv commercials and other cool stuff.

[@sinistermoon]

@HBKanedge818 Only little kids think that. For those of us that grew up in the 1980s and had the game, B-17 Bomber was always awesome.

[@user-zh6wi8hc7j]

what is the song that played in the magic carousel joke

[@brettt.9464]

Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin

[@terabyte13]

2:50 BEEEE SEVENTEEEN BOMBRR

[@electricmastro]

the piano plays maple leaf rag by scott joplin

[@hlbatesjr]

You can even use the DJ Hero Turntable Controller on the Intellivision but only on Magic Carousel. Did you see the icon for it? It is there.

[@freakylier911]

cool over 60 games in a game that COOL!!!

[@kevin12567]

Never seen "Shark! Shark!" when it originally came out, but I'm familiar with the concept as it plays similar to "Feeding Frenzy" for the PC.

[@305pride]

that music is awesome

[@MasterOrHan1]

HUZZAH! He found the carousel! More mind-numbing, Atari age, boringness! Great vid anyways, love watching the retro game reviews!

[@gp75motorsports]

Also, the piano song is awesome. It should be on iTunes!

[@RhansleyWii]

The games looks like they been berried in a time capsule since ancient times.

[@ChandlerCashdollar]

i really want my.. vec-trex.. that doesn't work

[@critanimeuk]

I have night stalker for the atari 2600. I know it was named Dark Cavern for the 2600 but mine is a silver label that actually uses the Night Stalker name.

[@patman93]

yes, the song IS awesome

[@dosbox1]

I saw a few million copies of this at my local Gamestop, maybe I should pick it up

[@bland9876]

Disk full of intellivision games has the menu as a pizza joint with a bunch of arcade systems WTF

[@Muffincakeswithsugar]

what's the name of the song that plays on the piano in magical carousel?

[@Adrastia]

Looks fun.

[@zeliph]

This is super classic game. I don't like super classic games. But I guess I wouldn't mind playing them for just 5 minutes.

[@DinosaurBytes]

Just bought this from eBay, £2 well spent, how did I not know this existed!? Well I guess that's why I watch CGR!

[@mtganfilm]

Please review the Intellivison and its controllers! :) I'm going to get it one of these days, as long as it's 150$ or less.

[@KingGameReview]

I got my Intellivision at Goodwill for like $5. It works, but the controllers were kind of crappy... so I fixed them. I have a video how to fix an intellvision controller on my channel. I have this collection as well. I got it fairly recently for like $5.

[@ironhaas503]

Astrosmash 4 life!!!!

[@VecTron5]

I. Love. That. Song.

[@ThatWolfWithShades]

BEEE SVENTEEN BOOOMBER!!!

[@MrHiu2]

That organ... Its playing the Scott Joplin theme used in Domino man! Anybody else notice that?

[@Mr.Huggles]

i want that caracell song for a ring tone.^o^

[@emojo1990]

ok, soo 5 mins to get ready + 30 mins to ride bike to town + 2 mins to lock up bike + 2 mins to walk to mt games + 1 min to take game to counter + 10 secs to give money to lady + 32 seconds for her to ring it up = 40mins 42 seconds. I CANT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!!!!

[@RealRaynedance]

3:52 sounded like the F word. XD

[@Sorablade14]

I have the Intellivision Intellivoice add on, but lost the Intellivision itself D:

[@Zorn27]

B-17 Bomber :D

[@HagenFlachmann]

[@GamingPalooza]

[@Broken_Robot_]

[@MrRainandThunderrelaxingsounds]

[@Smoopadoop]
