More TOP 10 lists are coming. SUBSCRIBE if you want to see more! :)

[@1teamski]

Tron Deadly Discs was right at the top of my list back in the day. What a game that was!!

[@quicksilversoftwareinc.9251]

Great list. Definitely some of my favorites in there (Biplanes, Night Stalker, Deadly Disks and Utopia to name a few)

[@marcelocunha4379]

I'm 51 years old and I had Intellivision in the early 80's here in Brazil. I didn't have many cartridges, because there weren't many available in Brazil, but I remember well the few I had: Burgertime (my favorite), Tenis, Shark! Shark!, Soccer, Basketball and Frog Bog. Unfortunately I donated the console just before I got married in 1994, but I currently play Intellivision games on my Raspberry Pi 4 and my RG351V (handheld).

[@Sueezedtight]

Back in the 80's (Yes, I am in my 60's now...) My faves were Baseball, AD&D, Sea Battle, Utopia and, of course, BurgerTime. I had the Intellivoice module, the synthesizer add-on with keyboard. Started with the original module and upgraded to the all-white version. Return to Zork and Civilization put an end to the Intellivision...

[@paul16451]

Problem with Baseball was it got boring really fast playing against another player. The pitcher could field almost every hit, the third baseman could get the rest, and the only way you could get a single was to sneak it JUST to the left of the pitcher past the second baseman. You could never hit a double or triple because the fielders were too fast and threw too hard. Only if you were lucky enough to hit more home runs than your opponent could you win. Of course, many of those issues were fixed when the new World Series Baseball was released.

[@markholle3450]

As an Atari 2600 owner, I can remember having Intellivision envy after seeing the inconic "runners" on those games.

[@timhammell769]

My favorites growing up: Dreadnaught Factor, Microsurgeon, Swords and Serpents, Tower of Doom, Diner, Frog Bog, Atlantis, Dracula, Tropical Trouble, Bump and Jump, Sea Battle, He-Man, Beauty and the Beast, Thunder Castle, Shark! Shark! I’m pretty surprised Swords and Serpents doesn’t get more love. First coop action RPG that I am aware of. It certainly has its flaws. It has to be played two player to be fun. Too bad it was essentially unfinished

[@palydyn5889]

Lots of great games for the Intellivision! I could have easily done a Top 20 list.

[@SlickDonaldRichard-rk94]

The Sports games were alot of fun for me

[@GKitz211]

Those were the times when playing on a TV was generally mindblowing.

[@muratsahan8697]

Watched 2 other "10 best intellevison games" videos before this one and man your is so much better, from the presentation to the reasoning behind why a particular game is on the list. And as a bonus games from tha Amico which I had not head about before I saw this . and btw I do laregely agree with your list except I miss Lock N Chase. Well done!

[@VgamiForever]

Glad you enjoyed it! The Intellivision is one of our all-time favorite systems, and we've got more videos like this on the way. Cheers!

[@smog-097]

Great video! great list!

[@VisiblyJacked]

Nice list, and I enjoyed the background music.

[@magnushawk]

Really nice video. Enjoyed this a lot!

[@raine6665]

Omg thank you! My cousin & i used to play d&d when we were kids & we've both been looking for it but we've been looking at the wrong system! Thank you so much!!

[@allenhood4021]

That was fun! I can’t wait for Amico release. Recently, an FB group I am in, played Space Hawk. I would replace Snafu with Space Hawk.

[@DiscoScottie]

Amico? Don't hold your breath.

[@solarwarden4207]

Great list! How come no iMagic games made the list? Atlantis, Beauty and the Beast, and Demon Attack were amazing.

[@d0nKsTaH]

Yeah.. Atlantis was pretty much Intellivision's "Missile Command".... Didn't Imagic make Swords and Serpents? that 2 player game...?

[@BriansManCave]

Really great choices! Nice to see a homebrew made the list :-)

[@VgamiForever]

We actually had an internal debate on which homebrew to feature, but Joe Zbiciak's "Space Patrol" was the clear winner in the end. Rock solid game!

[@BriansManCave]

@@VgamiForever Cool!

[@samfrito]

Great list. It's these games that make me want to play Intellivision.

[@Alinktome]

I had a school friend, he had the intellivision here in France. (i had the Vectrex, and I loved all systems, intellivision and colecovision) I remember playing a holympic sport game at his home, with him. Do not remember the name. But we were so excited by those new colorized Techs.

[@fordxbgtfalcon]

Another great video! I have an Intellivision that I bought off eBay last year. It’s complete with the box. I’ve amassed about 20 games so far.

[@lesslycarthan4963]

Burger time

[@TommyTallarico77]

Great job guys! Very cool!!

[@VgamiForever]

Glad you liked it!! And please Tommy...we need a new B-17 Bomber for the Amico!

[@magnushawk]

Couldn’t agree with that more. We used to play that game multiplayer in my house even thought it really wasn’t. One person was the pilot and bombardier and the 12 o’clock gun and the other took all the other gunner positions. Very good multiplayer potential!

[@daneyuleb]

What? No Treasure of Tarmin? No Tower of Doom? No Shark Shark? No Microsurgeon? No Sea Battle? No Sub Hunt? Tower of Doom??? Space Battle???? -- My list* (going from memory) is, in arguable order and not limited to 10: Treasure of Tarmin Cloudy Mountain Tower of Doom Utopia Space Battle Sea Battle Shark Shark Sub Hunt Micro Surgeon (Imagic's one substantive game) B17 Bomber Burger Time (Just such a good, playable port for its time) I never played Thunder Mountain (which looks awesome) so I'll throw it in since it's universally praised pretty much. Not sure why the love for Night Stalker. It was OK I guess but suffered from frustrating controls and monotonous game play as I recall. This list is for games that were 1. well designed, 2. fun, and most importantly, 3. able to hold your interest for more than an hour. There were a LOT of Intellivision games that were fun for a while but got repetitive FAST, and iMagic in particular made pretty ones that were way too often limited/repetitious in game play or too frustrating to get through (looking at you "swords & serpents")). This list is the best of the best for games that could hold your interest for hours--days---weeks. * I hate sports games so none are included.

[@mayday0341]

Solid list 👌🏿

[@Mykytys]

What a great videogame show this was! Im HAPPY!

[@billchecco]

C'mon, no baseball or shark shark?

[@QunMang]

I was actually excited for the Amico when Tommy was doing the rounds a couple years ago to promote it. It's too bad that it looks more and more like it will never be released- the company is in serious trouble.

[@intertubicular]

Hell yeah, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Loved that game sooooooo much back in the day. These days I'm hooked to the FALLOUT series. Can't believe I'm 56 and still gaming here and then.

[@johnkolakowski4253]

The true top ten; 1; Diner 2; Thunder Castle 3; Night Stalker 4; Dig Dug featuring the hidden easter egg game Deadly Dogs 5; Dracula 6; MLB Baseball 7; Bump 'N' Jump 8; D/D Treasure of Tarmin 9; D/D Cloudy Mountain 10; White Water

[@Angelic_Spirit_]

I have all of the titles you mentioned in this video with the exception of two. All in box!

[@speedbird737]

Soccer was an amazing game when I first saw it on the intellivision!!!! I was a kid and just had to have the console!! thankfully my parents bought me a commodore 64 lol

[@MrSneaksful]

These were great!

[@intellivisiongamer]

Pretty good list!

[@rossmurray9895]

great list and many more great games like the sports line up. But a top ten list is always subject to a person's taste. I loved also bump n jump, microsurgeon and baseball just to name a few

[@PSAGrader]

Great top 10! Intellivision forever!

[@daviniarobbins9298]

Space Patrol looks uncannily like Moon Patrol.

[@white-dragon4424]

With some imagination, SNAFU could be loosely considered to be a fourth Tron game by a lot of players, especially fans of the movie, because it's so much like the Light Cycle Race.

[@Carlb328]

You forgot D&D Treasure of Tarmin and Demon Attack.

[@rinzlerthehunter539]

Tron deadly discs is in the works for amico too, if the console ever release

[@VgamiForever]

We're still holding out hope that the Amico will one day see the light of day. And Tron Deadly Discs is a classic! Would love to see a solid remake of that game. 🙂

[@coreyspencer8677]

Omg this brings me back to my childhood I use to play these games as a kid God I miss these games I got get me a intellivision nothing like it in the 80s the 80s was the best

[@robertmiles9942]

Other memorable games were Commando (yep, intellivision got a Commando port with background music and everything,) baseball, football, space Spartans, star strike, he-man matters of the universe, dragonfire.. there was a lot of quality stuff for the intellivision.

[@fabulousasia9848]

Those new games look awesome. I wonder if we will get them on PC since the Amico is officially dead?

[@CarbonatedLithium]

You can pause almost any Mattel released game by hitting 1 + 9 on the keypads.

[@clebo99]

Finally SNAFU gets some goddamn respect!!!!!!!

[@VgamiForever]

This game was INSANELY fun when you played it with a friend. 😀

[@matthewlohr2969]

Yeah I remember my parents got one of those back in 1983 we had some cool games for it we had Tron deadly Discs.We had mousetrap Dungeons and Dragons And some other I don't remember

[@TurkPowers]

Nice list, as a child who actually had this system, here is my Top 10. 1. Snafu 2. Baseball (I was big into baseball as a kid) 3. Tron's Deadly Disk 4. Lock-N-Chase 5. Space Hawlk 6. Burger Time 7. Sea Battle 8. Pittfall 9. Night Stalker 10. Beauty and the Beast I never got to play Utopia, or Dungons and Dragons. So I only listed the games that I got to play.

[@VgamiForever]

Beauty and the Beast is a great addition.

[@d.vaughn8990]

Intellivision had such fantastic games. My favorite was Night Stalker. It was always difficult, and frustrating, to maneuver the guy in the direction you wanted - typical of early Intellivision games - regardless, I loved it!! Emulation just doesn't do that game justice.

[@randybradley4151]

Here are some of my favs: Lock 'n' Chase Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man Auto Racing Mission X Tron: Maze-a-Tron

[@kenbauer6793]

I still have my orig intellivision and about 130 games. My top 3 were Popeye, Dracula, and yes trukin. Those are great games.

[@DickDawsonTheShills]

We had an Atari VCS for a year ish then boom, Dad brought home the Intellivision. Football, Baseball, Astrosmash, Advanced D&D, Utopia... I think I maybe touched the Atari now and then but it was basically furniture. Loved the Intellivision but the controller layout, I actually liked the thumb disc things it was the damn side action buttons I didn't like. Stands as a very hard game system to emulate as well as without the number pads and overlays, its a bit of a mess. Great selection.

[@X1rerunpun]

Snafu was a game for the Odyssey 2.

[@dallase1]

You could Pause All Intellivision Games, even before Astrosmash.

[@DisasterSquad]

Hate to be a downer but those nightstalker / cloudy mountain remakes are not happening.

[@d0nKsTaH]

AD&D Treasure of Tarmin should have been on this list somewhere... :)

[@scotthorton3339]

No Space Spartans!?! That in my opinion was the best Intellivision game. Other than that omission most of my other faves were on the list: night stalker, tron: deadly discs, and the one dungeon and dragons game. Oooh, the two others that should be on the list were the other D&D game that takes places in a castle/dungeon maze and swords and sorcery by imagic. Spent a lot of time playing those games!

[@1teamski]

Wow, no Treasure of Tarmin, one of the very first FPS role playing games? You missed one of the best Intellivision games ever.

[@samusvikerness661]

I love my Intellivision! Utopia is amazing.

[@braveheartbob3473]

i thoroughly enjoyed Utopia. never the same game twice

[@slickrichelicopter8977]

Everytime I hear "B 17 Bomber" I think of AVGN.😅

[@insanopunk]

You miss Happy Trails....

[@theatrenerd6485]

I love Astrosmash & Snafu. You forgot Shark Shark & Space Defender. I personally despise Night Stalker: Spiders kept for too long, guns, jails, and hurting yourself and/or a robot has never personally felt right or justifiable to me. It’s fine if the rest of y’all like it though. Blowing up innocent robots, using guns, and keeping spiders longitudinally just isn’t my kind of vibe.

[@theatrenerd6485]

Ps: If you’ve seen Wall-E, you’re more likely to see the robot in night stalker as an 8 bit version of Eve from Wall-E. That’s also oddly part of why that game has disturbed me since childhood.

[@Devoguy]

No Treasure of Tarmin, Demon Attack or Microsurgeon?

[@AnthonyL0401]

I enjoyed SPACE HAWK

[@matthewlohr2969]

Up in Fargo North Dakota there's a fast food Drive in Called Burgertime its ran by a Church Group Great Food loved their Burgers their fries tasted just like McDonald's

[@CJ10628]

Triple Action to me wasn’t good at all. Sea Battle was epic and should be on the list

[@VgamiForever]

Triple Action was best played as a 2P game. If you did, then it was out-of-control fun! But you're right; Sea Battle was awesome too. So many great games and memories with this system. Cheers!

[@blupeterb254b9]

Damn shame the new Intellivision never released. Anyone know if those games were ever produced?

[@2001pl]

Lock 'n Chase & Hover Force should be in this list, instead of Snafu & B17 maybe

[@DANEgerus]

Top 3, Football, Baseball, Basketball. Full Stop.

[@clumaster]

Cloudy mountain was great but i think Treasures of Tarmin was a bit better ADnD game with that 3d effect. shame that the Amico is dead in the water, it would have been great.

[@tylerdurden4392]

Snafu is the best one!

[@sergiocreimergolgher9698]

Missed sea battle

[@ratedr8490]

No shark shark?

[@TobeyStarburst]

16 bit??

[@nelscleath9241]

16 bit my foot!

[@VirtualVernon]

Did you say Intellivision Amico, that's consoles never coming out.

[@lesslycarthan4963]

Burger time period

[@SugarFreeWorldOrder]

wheres Thunder Castle?

[@rossydv]

No Space Armada??!!

[@PSAGrader]

Shark! Shark! would have been another great addition. :)

[@redskinStu]

treasure of tarmin

[@BigBlueBri]

No lock n chase????

[@patriottex4813]

Triple action is a rip of Atari's Combat.

[@CountScarlioni]

Amico? Ohhhhhh dear.

[@jimmcclements5229]

An awful lot of Atari titles being released for the Amico.

[@timothy4664]

Treasure of Tarmin was the better dnd game

[@samfrito]

I believe so too, but it does take a bit to comprehend the controls. It's so worth it. My favorite game on Intellivision. Wish there was some hope for a new one.

[@timothy4664]

@@samfrito remember opening a chest to find the purple or magenta spell book, thunder bolt or magic missed? Oh yeah, you were on your way to kick some ass son. 😆

[@samfrito]

@@timothy4664 last time I played it (probably on the Intellivision Flashback in 2017) I was reminded of how engrossed I was in it. Especially finding the lightning bolt and going around maze hunting the minotaur. Great times! I just ordered an original copy off ebay just to play it on an old system and have that nostalgic feeling of being 8 levels deep and counting arrows and flour.

[@timothy4664]

@@samfrito lol oh the flour! I forgot about that. That game was pretty involved for the time.

[@samfrito]

@@timothy4664 it is crazy isn't it? We were playing the godfather of role playing dungeon crawler games.

[@dallase1]

The Amico is Dead And Will NEVER COME OUT,NEVER!

[@redualnek]

no Treasure of Tarmin🤦🏽‍♂️

[@robbieadams9837]

And here we are today and the Amico will never see the light of day because of the Grifting of Tommy.....

[@markking2310]

Triple action is not a top 10 game...

[@Adm_Guirk]

Biplanes puts it there. The other 2 are shit.

[@scruffylooking2184]

I agree, it's a Top 3 game. Biplanes is awesome!

[@jimgoebel5348]

The amico bit aged poorly

[@mikewest6569]

Most of what you listed is garbage. Sea Battle and Baseball are the two best games. The intelliveision suffered from piss poor resolution and bad scrolling.
