Thank you for watching! How did you first discover the Mattel Intellivision?

[@South_0f_Heaven_]

Had one as a kid, loved it was much better then the Atari 2600. The controllers were a bit dodgy thou with the overlays. After the video game crash I could get practically every single game and add on at a store called Odd Lot for dirt cheap.

It is a cool system.

@@PaulWerkema I enjoyed a lot of the games on it more then the 2600 TBH. Sub Hunt, Utopia, Dungeons & Dragons, Space Armada, AstroSmash, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack to name a few. Never was able to get the add on cassette tape storage to work with all the Intellevision add ons including the Intellevision 2 I had after the original.
