Intellivision 10 Game Video Game System

The first device (the blue one) features 10 of the Intellivision's games, out of a complete library of over 100 titles. Astrosmash, a title ported to the 2600 as Astroblast, is one of the better titles in its history. It survives intact, though SNAFU does not. The original had three rivals in a version of Snake that was fast-paced and superior to the 2600's Surround. This port reduces gameplay to only one rival, leaving gameplay feeling less.. FU. Motocross still feels hard to control, as does Star Strike. (FYI it was created in the hopes of acquiring the licence to Star Wars.)This package feels light on fun, with its limited collection. Adding in later releases from the system's lineup, like Thin Ice, would have added in some value for longtime Intellivision fans. As it stands, people would be best served to wait for the upcoming Intellivision Flashback.

My son loved this game system when he was younger. We bought it for $15 about ten years ago. His favorite was Shark! where you played as a fish and tried to eat smaller fish and avoid the shark or bite him on the tail to kill him. You cannot expect at this price that it is as good as the Intellivision Flashback, for it doesn't even have an Intellivision controller but one designed like the old Super Nintendo controller. It was really designed to appeal towards 1990 kids rather than adults who grew up with Intellivision. It uses batteries which may or may not have corroded over time, which can be taken out and cleaned up with a cotton swab and some alcohol so the new batteries can make contact. Beware of any old device that included batteries they tend to leak in storage over time and need cleaning up and replacement.

This unit contains 10 of the old Intellivision games. They look and play pretty much the same, at least for the ones that I had played 20 some years ago.These are 2 flaws that I found:1. Controller is not the same as the original. It takes a little getting used to.2. Cannot play 2 players at the same time, like for Volleyball and Tennis.These are the 10 games:Frog BogTron Deadly DiscsCrown of Kings (aka Advanced Dungeon and Dragons)Space Armada 2Astrosmash 2Maze ShootTennisSpace GunnerLong Drive GolfBeach VolleyballIf you don't mind playing solo this is fine and fun. It's definitely cheaper than what it would have cost back in its glory days for all those games and a system.

ignore the previous review, those games listed are on the 2nd edition. i bought this thing for crown of kings (AD&D)and it isn't on there. besides that, this is a piece of junk. i tried playing shark and i always die for no reason after about two minutes.

satisfaite du jeu !
