“Once you compare, you’ll know.” It was true of Intellivision vs. Atari 30 years ago, and it’ll hopefully be true of the iPad vs. pretty much everything else come April 3rd. So, why not bring the two together in a perfect marriage between retro gaming geekdom and the potential future of portable computing? VH1 agrees, as they’ll be launching Intellivision Lives in the app store in time for the iPad lauch…pending Apple approval, of course.

Retro gaming has been popular for quite some time, and it shows no signs of slowing down. My favorite classic system is the Intellivison, and I’ve tried the various repackaged versions on the Mac, GameCube, online, etc, but found them all to be a bit flat. The developers over at Intellivision Lives keep looking at new distribution methods, however, and they now have their sites set on the iPhone.
