Intellivision Lives is strictly for the fans, but even then, there have been so many previous Intellivision packages that the value of this collection is brought into question. It is a budget release, which helps smooth over some rough edges like missing games (due to licensing) and the obtuse menus. But even then, IGN can’t get too enthusiastic about it because even though they are big fans of this era of gaming, there is a key reason that Atari 2600 overshadowed the Intellivision: it simply had more good games.

When EastBayRI was a kid during the great Atari 2600 vs. Intellivision war. They always thought Intellivision was for rich kids – probably because George Plimpton was in the commercials. They never owned one at the time, but it was clear the Intellivision had superior graphics and a more advanced control pad. That didn’t mean the games were more fun to play, however, but some of them were excellent.
And they still are.
Intellivison was amazing.
