My cell phone has better games.Don't spend too much for this one,if you have a free rental coupon you might want to use that to rent this game.They had better games than this back on Commodore PET64.

Boy did they really screw this game up...
First of all, you can tell that this is not emulated...
The games all have a different feel, sounds are not quite right etc...
The whole layout is bad, and takes place in an arcade... Funny the intellivision was a HOME system...
And the background music makes me want to pound my head into a wall after a few minutes..
Some games I can't even get to start...
This is almost as bad as the 25 in 1 controller...
Of all the "retro" out there, they really screwed up Intellivision big time..
Intellivision deserves much better than the cr*p they are putting out..
Spend the money at a yard sale and buy the real console because this is horrible..

I can't do much more justice to the review than "zooter" - if you need to escape the wife, kids and mortgage for a couple of hours, nothing could serve up spite better than the archaic graphics and 2 bit sound of a monotonus game like Astrosmash! We all have better things to do with our lives, but with reality TV marinating every watercooler conversation wouldn't it be nice to respond to Susie Sitcom with a snide, "You know, I missed Idol Survivor Factor last night because I broke my high score on Space Hawk!" Then Susie asks, giggling, "wasn't that an Intellivision game?" "You bet, and it looks even worse on my 60" widescreen home theater than it did in 1981! Now back to work."
If you grew up with Intellivision, this really is a must. Even if you play it for 30 minutes and never go back, you can hear the annoying sound of those laser cannons in Space Battle one last time. A couple of feautures that were surpising upsides: the background music tracks (I swear that New Order sang the Intellivision headliner tune), the documentary and interviews with the programmers. I was into the whole Blue Sky Ranger programmer posse that had a solid web presence through the dot-com bubble and was glad to fork over a couple bucks in their direction now that they have a solid product offering. Good for them. These extras are nice for those who are informed or have the slightest interest in the 1980s videogame wars. The downsides - the controller interface is alright, but really makes some of the games almost impossible to play. Also, I recall the Intellivision being a 16 directional interface (compared to 8 for most other systems) and I find that the directional smoothness is not the same on these games (perhaps X-box is only 8 - I can't imagine - but it does seem odd that the movement is so jerky). I would pay $100 for a pair of USB or x-box ready Intellivision controllers, but I'm sure the market is so tiny it would hardly be worth the hardware development effort. This thin number of reviews is proof enough. I would have also liked to see the licensed material (D&D, Tron, etc.) in this package as well as the other thrid party titles by developers like Imagic and Activision. There were some great titles in their libraries. Also, it would be cool to have this on X-Box Live. I still talk smack with childhood friend over who was better at Intellivision Baseball. We could now settle the score even though he lives on the other side of the country.At the very least you can see how you wasted away hundreds of hours of your childhood and are still able to read and write as an adult. Then again, with the aforementioned thin number of reviewers, perhaps most of our Intellivision peers never made it this far!
Anyhow, priced cheaper than an overrated entree' for your lady at Chez Ego, Intellivision Lives delivers the entertainment value.
 haha awesome! Blue Sky Rangers Forever May 1, 2005

All the time that I've spent playing Morrowind over the past few years pales in comparison to those grueling hours playing Utopia back in 1984. . . and with that out of the way, may I say that Intellivision Lives! is the greatest treasure in my video game library today. So many games packed into one cartridge (errr. . . X-BOX CD I mean) that are playable at whim, and in their original form.
One of the big complaints I've heard from gurus is that the controls make playability virtually impossible, but I disagree. My fingers have bled much less than I remember, and games like Astrosmash and B-17 Bomber as fun today as they were originally. Of course, in the world of CGI and high-paced video gaming that takes days to conquer, Nightstalker might take its toll on the average attention span within 15 minutes. Not me, however, as all I really need is this game, a case of beer, and some Smiths blaring on the radio to make my night perfect.
My only complaint is that some of my favorite Intellivision-unique games from the day were created by other companies that do not have software included, such as Sewer Sam, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, and Microsurgeon. Still, with 60 games (around 20 of them still hold up today in my opinion), how can I rationally complain? Cudos for all the extras for hardcore gamers like me to browse through, including programmer interviews, unreleased games, commercials, and unplayable junk that still brings me back.
Next on my wish list: modern day updates of some of these classics. Imagine B-17 Bomber with modern technology utilized, or a Nightstalker sequel. Crave Games, you have made a grown man very happy.
