A nice walkthrough of the Videogame Museum at E3 2011.

If you have any Nintendo DS system and a mere $14.99, you can now get you a sickeningly vast collection of Intellivision games. Intellivision Lives! has more than 60 games on it – more than my collection of Intellivision games as a child – and it includes half a dozen games made but never released more »

It took five years to find a publisher and GameStop almost didn’t carry it, but it finally happened. Intellivision Lives has finally been released on the DS. The portable incarnation is the most faithful yet, as the DS touch screen is used to perfectly emulate the control sheets that would go over the keypads that were used with the original Intellivision. The result is a collection of over 60 games, many of which are retro-fabulous…

The Intellivision Lives! DS game is actually going to be released! Way back in 2005, Intellivision Lives! for the DS was shown off at E3 in the hopes of finding a publisher. Some showed interest, but ultimately decided against it because they didn’t think it would be profitable. Now Virtual Play has stepped up and said it will do it, so we’ll see the compilation game in September, 2010. Just in time for the 30th anniversary of the Intellivision console…

Before Sony first threw down against Microsoft, before Nintendo first battled Sega, there was Mattel Electronics vs. Atari. I was firmly entrenched in Intellivision’s corner, and when INTV Corp. went down swinging in 1991, I went down with them. But a group of Intellivision game developers (known as the Blue Sky Rangers) is actively working with the games that helped to launch an industry longer than 30 years ago.

Gamertell spoke with Keith Robinson at Intellivision Lives about this group of developers and the state of the gaming industry, then and now.

Night Stalker, which was just released recently for the Intellivision, is quickly becoming one of the “must have” titles for the system. Its challenging, survival based gameplay, combined with its simple yet effective soundtrack, is quickly building a loyal fan-base. It is doing so well that Mattel is working on bringing the game to the Atari 2600 and the Mattel Aquarius later this year. There are rumors though, that the Atari 2600 version will be released under the name Dark Cavern. While confirmation couldn’t be received, there is a rumor that it will also appear on Apple and IBM computers.

We have just learned that Mattel’s new title for the Intellivision, Shark! Shark!, will be receiving a limited initial printing of only 5,600 copies. According to an inside source from Mattel, the marketing department believes that the title will only attract the attention of children, and so only a few copies will be released initially to determine if there is a place in the market for the title. While it is often difficult to get exact numbers when it comes to shipments, it is rumored that Shark! Shark!‘s release is the smallest of any Intellivision title.

Wired Magazine has posted a collection of 40 years worth of video game goodness, highlighting consoles through 47 images of hardware, ads and screenshots. Beginning with Baer’s Brown Box through the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, it includes body shot of most of the main systems including NES, Neo-Geo, SNES, Famicom, Sega, Intellivision, Colecovision… oh, more »
