Mattel Intellivision



The Intellivision is a video game console released by Mattel in 1979. In it's first year Mattel sold just 175,000 Intellivision consoles, but during it's six year run, more than 6 million Intellivision consoles were sold. So intense was fan loyalty that some of the original Team of developers (The Blue Sky Rangers) still maintain a retro gaming website obsess... erm devoted to the Intellivision.

Given such a well documented gaming history, you'd imagine consoles like this would rarely show up for sale, .... you'd be wrong.. checkout this soon to be inundated

  4. Grab the console and play some of the new homebrews and independent games. Intellivision RPG "The Minstrel's Legend" is coming out as charityware, building on other 21st Century releases like Boulderdash, Copter Command, and Sydney Hunter.
