reception edit a july 1980 article in video magazine said now arcade addicts can revel in the most sophisticated games this side of the complex simulations designed for high level computers right in their own livingrooms it may not be perfect but it s certainly the best unit offered so far to players of electronic video games those used to joysticks will have to endure a short period of adjustment but even finicky players will be forced to agree that the company has developed a truly elegant solution to the controller problem 17 ken uston published ken uston s guide to buying and beating the home video games in 1982 as a guide to potential buyers of console systems cartridges as well as a brief strategy guide to numerous cartridge games then in existence he described intellivision as the most mechanically reliable of the systems the controller used during many hours of experimentation worked with perfect consistency the unit never had overheating problems nor were loose wires or other connections encountered however uston rated the controls and control system as below average and the worst of the consoles he tested including atari 2600 magnavox odyssey² astrovision and fairchild channel f 78 jeff rovin lists intellivision as one of the seven major suppliers of videogames in 1982 and mentions it as the unchallenged king of graphics but says the controllers can be difficult to operate mentions the fact that if a controller breaks the entire unit must be shipped off for repairs since they did not detach at first and explains that the overlays are sometimes so stubborn as to tempt one s patience 79 a 1996 article in next generation said the intellivision had greater graphics power than the dominant atari 2600 it was slower than the 2600 and had less software available but it was known for its superior sports titles 80 a year later electronic gaming monthly assessed the intellivision in an overview of older gaming consoles remarking that the controllers were as comfortable as they were practical the unique disk shaped directional pad provided unprecedented control for the time and the numeric keypad opened up new options previously unavailable in console gaming they praised the breadth of the software library but said there was a lack of genuinely stand out games 51 legacy edit intellivision lives edit see also intellivision lives history and development intellivision games became readily available again when keith robinson and stephen roney both former intellivision programmers at mattel electronics obtained exclusive

another four intellivision games and emulators for windows or macintosh 82 intellivision productions released intellivision lives and intellivision rocks on compact disc in 1998 and 2001 these compilation cds play the original game code through emulators for ms dos windows and macintosh computers together they have over 100 intellivision games including never before released king of the mountain takeover robot rubble league of light and others intellivision rocks includes intellivision games made by activision and imagic some games could not be included due to licensing others simply used different titles to avoid trademarked names the cds are also a resource for development history box art hidden features programmer biographies video interviews and original commercials 16 also in
