I played and honestly I think River Raid is a better game.




I even got a patch for my high score, lets see your BF3 do that!

Oh yeah, just awful!

I can remeber getting a game and saying gee I hope some day the graphics will be as good as the picture on the box. Boy have we come a long way.

There's a fine line between crap and classic. I bought the Intellivision Lives package from XBOX Live. $15 and you get every Intellivision game ever made. I was amazed how bad the "graphics" were but these games will always hold a special place in my heart.

Two of my all-time Intellivision favorites:

Baseball - still probably the best baseball game I ever played



Astrosmash - loved this game, I used to play it hours on end until my console was about to explode
