Lock N Chase felt so good to play. There was just something magical about it.
Same. I liked it more than Pacman.
great list, just missing the amazingTron: deadly disc
Thank You 😊
I came here to say this.
Yes, I came here to say this too.
the best in my opinion
I loved Sea Battle.
It was my favourite game on the Intellivision. I used to play it a lot with my cousin.
Laying mines was fun. And running around in the high speed sub was too.
@@InevitableTruthTeller I always loved the PT boats, they were fast and powerful. But one hit would take them out.
I think you're forgetting (or perhaps never knew) what really made this system great--the sports games. The keypad controllers allowed for some sophisticated sports games (for that time period). Baseball was my favorite. Me and my friends would stay up all night playing that game. Downhill skiing was just as awesome. Slalom-not so much. Other great sports games were hockey and soccer. Basketball was not bad and football was OK as I recall. Other great games as I remember were Sea Battle, the Tron games, Vectron, and others I forget that were made by companies other than Mattel. You seem mainly interested in arcade games. You'd be better off buying an Atari 2600 or 5200 for arcade games. Oh, I also enjoyed Bomb Squad, which used the Intellivoice adapter. I agree with you though on Night Stalker and D&D, both outstanding games.
Sea Battle may have been the first RTS. And Utopia was the first Civ style game (written by brilliant amd humble Don Daglow)
Totally agree. I wore the controller pad out calling the same pass/run plays over and over. I also liked Dragon Fire. The Racing game had a easter egg where you could cut across grass and go horizontal through the screen over and over and not hit any objects.😅
Sea Battle was a great game. We'd spend hours playing that one.
@@gregferguson7737
I agree with you
Baseball and golf were my favorite games
I had Intellevision when my friends had Atari. I LOVED it!! I remember playing tennis and snow skiing 😁
I liked Frog Bog and Snafu too. Sea battle was great. AD&D May be one of the best video games ever made.
Cant believe you didnt include Soccer - amazing game was the only game that convinced me to buy an intellivision however my parents had other ideas and bought me a Commodore 64 - so glad they did!
Well the C64 came out a long while after the Intellivision, was a complete modern computer at the time and was 3X the price. Lucky you but I don't understand your point.
Soccer was really fun. I can't believe I played this back in the day. Time flies. Track and Field, Summer and Winter games and Skate or Die was cool at the time. Trying to beat the records. Good times.
Yip. You are absolutely correct. I used to have an Atari and my friend had an IntelliVision. His soccer game was the best. We all went to his place for that two player game.
I really learned programming on my Commodore Vic-20 that had a Motorola 6502 microprocessor. But that was a few years later. I enjoyed building my own version of Space Invaders with those sprite graphics.😂. My parents and siblings used to bug me to unplug from the TV set cause the console used the TV 😂
I had one in the 80s and the two games I played most was AD&D which I was addicted to lol.. and I think it was called B17 Bomber maybe. It used the intellivoice and you flew a bomber on missions and dropped them to hear the intellivoice saying sowing like "bombs away". Kids now just will never have that much enjoyment. There's too much for your mind now and attention spans are getting short. I remember being in a dark room playing AD&D and actually being creeped out.. maybe it was just nervous when I would get close to having to select a mountain of a color I didn't want because it was hard and close to a dragon lol.
Sooo many great memories flooding my mind. Flashes everywhere. Awesome 👌
Some nice selections on this list. My list would have to include Thunder Castle and Tower of Doom (the first game I played where your character could actually level up). Also, Hockey was fun. You could hit your opponents with your stick and it made a hilarious *thump!* sound when you knocked them on their rear ends.
Shark Shark! and AstroSmash were my favorites, and the ones I remember the most fondly. The sports games looked great, but they were only two player and I could never figure out the button layouts. Having to squint at the little overlay while the game was ongoing was always sub - optimal.
Advanced D&D was so cool, at the time. Skiing was a favourite in our neighbourhood as we all lived right next to a ski hill. The Crazy Canucks were at the top of their game, so we all fought to be the yellow skier.
Skiing was really fun
What's so special about the yellow skier? They are all the same , it's not like Auto Racing where each color of car has different attributes or Boxing.
@@dallase1 lol. The Canadian Ski Team wore yellow back then. So, we all wanted to be the yellow player, and pretend we were Steve Podborski.
#1 game was Tron Deadly Discs. Absolutely loved that game.
Thanks for the vid... i also like the music in between the countdown too. Nice touch
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it 😊
I really liked Imagic "Microsurgeon."
I had most of the 1-10 list. Endless hours of fun.
such good memories
Loved my intellevison. Which I knew where to get one with games
What’s funny is I may not agree with the exact location in the top 10 of some of the games but I agree, mostly that these were truly awesome and the best of the best games for intelevision. We used to compete with each other in night stalker and burger time where one person would play and then another one would try to beat what they got. Even my mom who is hardly a prominent video. Game player liked night stalker, and burger time.
Dungeons and Dragons was a GREAT game on the Intellivision.
Hot take: In the harder levels, the dragon is smiling when it stomps on you. 😜
Was hoping Advanced Dungeons and Dragons would be number 1 and was not disappointed. Such tension in that game!
Super Mario Bros. On Intellivision is a wizardry technical marvel.
The Sports games + Night Stalker.
Excellent video as allways👍👍👍
Thank you Mark 😊
I loved Maze-a-Tron.
Great memories - what about B17 Bomber!
The two not on this list I would definitely advocate for are Tron Deadly Discs and Thunder Castle. Along with Pitfall, Activision also made a port of Stampede that was pretty solid.
Loved Tron, never played Thunder Castle.
I never played demon attack, so I cannot comment upon it. I never played the television version of DD, but I did enjoy that game. And I honestly didn’t know that they made a Pac-Man.
That being said, the other seven games, I see here were among my favorites, and I would also include Snafu and I really enjoyed space Spartans.
Great list my friend 👍
Thank you so much for the support 😊
Como se llama la canción del principio del video???????
You Gots real far in Lock 'n' Chase, I think the farthest I got was the glasses.
I remember playing nightcrawler and the AD and D game all the time as a kid
Pretty sure we had Demon Attack on the Atari too, but that might have just been the same name.
If 8-bit is an accurate depiction for the Sega Master System's graphics, then the SMS makes Atari 2600, Intellivision, and ColecoVision's graphics look like 4-bit at best (by comparison).
Yes, I know that binary-number bits are not the literal way to define video-game graphics (and even soundfonts), but taking it from the popular arbitrary dissection, that's how I would see those three super-retro consoles as 4-bit rather than 8-bit.
Good post
Madisongs Thank You 😊
Would have liked to see that tank game too where there were exploits so that if you shot just right towards a wall the bullet would bounce through the wall and hit the opponent. :)
Armor Battle
@@Maestrohbill No, that's not the one. I think the one I'm talking about is the one that were bundled together with 4 other mini-games like Snafu and some others.
@@scorefuxxon2753
You may be talking about Triple Action. It had three games: one was a car race, one was planes, doing dogfights, and the other was the tank battle where you could bounce shots off of the wall and hit your opponent.
I liked that one as well, and I wasn’t much of a fan of armor battle.
Nice 👍
Thank you 😊
Missed all the later Intellivision 2nd life as INTV and what did games better yet in in the late 1980s until the very end around 1989.. Super Pro Sports with Basketball being the best - which brought in player management and coaching actual player starting at a draft - most fun with two players. Ability to play against the computer added to each sport - baseball and football too. 3-D Dungeons and Dragons - using the keypad to swap items from left or right hand and your pack. Spells and potions that added powers to fight, increase value of treasure, and best one see through walls - - with the computer getting back at you by ability to steal every item in your pack.
are you describing D&D treasure of tarmin? in that one you walked up and down 3-d looking hallways. I would deliberately head north and south, drop down like 100 floors or so b/c the best potions and weapons were on lower floors, then I could win at any moment, but I'd keep going down more floors. That was sort of the fund 'easter egg' of that game. It was a great game. So much fun getting the xray vision potion, as well as the one that would turn crappy weapons into platinum.
So many memories... I didn't even own one, my cousins did.
What about the baseball game. Also there was that space fighting game where the enemy ships look like the ones from Battlestar Galactica I can't remember the name
Literally called Space Battle, lol. It was a simpler time.
treasure of tarmin is one of the best intellivision games because its an innovative rpg 3d game. i also love world series major league baseball which was the first 3d sports game and used the ecs keyboard module and intellivoice synthesizer and also b-17 bomber which could also use the voice synthesizer. its sad its not on your list. i have to mention that some games are not intellivision only games like pac man , pitfall , burgertime or dig dug which u can find on many systems. because of this personally i probably would not put them in the top 10 games of a system even if they are good games. there are many other intellivision games that were only on intellivision that i would mention first.
Yes! in tarmin, I would head north and south just to keep going down more floors so I could find all the best potions and weapons. I never had any of the '2nd generation' sports games, maybe b/c we just weren't playing it as much and our console may have actually been dead when the 2nd baseball, basketball and pro-wrestling came out.
No sports games. Those were our favorites. Poker n black Jack and horse racing too.
Perfect choice for number 1.
Donkey kong was a tire fire. Got it for Xmas, popped it in and cried.
I Loved Ladybug and Zaxxon
Night stalker was my game
Are any of these games Homebrew? Didn’t know they made all of these for this system.
You should see some of the homebrews made for the Intellivision. There's a lower-res but completely accurate version of Super Mario Bros. that looks jaw dropping. The music is identical. There's also a pretty decent looking version of Castlevania.
Take the atari games off the list, add in D &D, Tron Deadly Discs, Beamrider, Triple Action, Snafu, Shark Shark and Sea Battle.
Baseball and Trasure of Tarmin
Dnd treasure of tarmin was better than the other dnd game. And what about dreadnought factor, b17 bomber, tron, Utopia etc. And that donkey Kong port was not very good. Kudos for bump and jump though. I loved it in the arcade as a kid, and later got it on the intellivision which I was gifted around 1986 or 87
You forgot D&D treasure of Tarmin.
What about Tron deadly discs that was classic!
Ah, I’d read the title to mean “Intellivision *games,”* not “Intellivision *ports.”* _Night Stalker_ and _AD&D_ were good and great *Intellivision games,* respectively, but they still sugged, using hardwired Intellivision controllers, as did every other game except Poker/Blackjack. Try _Dig-Dugging_ tunnels with that flaccid disk and those side-rubber hand-cramping buttons - or, worse yet, getting across a lake with three alligators, in _Pitfall._
Intellivision had a habit of making good games bad, even if they looked OK/average, which is where it stood among cartridge slot game machines that’d been released before 1980. There’s a reason they only sold 3 million of them, to Atari 2600’s 30 mil, even with the strength of Mattel®️-at the time the biggest toy company in the world, with the biggest “toy” distribution network in the US-developing and distributing the console and games, from the start.
Great place in video game history, for sure-because “competition”-but so Atari®️ just bought two games and some brand loyalty among those who’d gone to great lengths to play them, given Mattel’s®️ hardcore/letigious ROM sharing/emulation stance that hurt them more than it helped, ‘cause late Gen-Xers and Millenials coming up never learned what Intellivision games were, other than what playd much better on _Intellivision®️ Lives_ for PS2, unless they were among the maybe million kids who found their parents’ old console in the attic - and a few Zoomers who mighta got the _Intellivision®️ Flashback™️,_ which remains one of the best five Flashback machines (and the best Intellivision to own, having every game you might wanna get play (including both AD&D games, which were renamed on some, but the gameplay was there.. ) even with the better but still ridiculous recreations of the controllers/overlays. Honestly, the controllers were as bad if not worse than the Atari 5200 and OG 7800 controllers (that could be replaced/swapped out with good controllers/D-pads) without soldering, unlike some Intellivisions that died from _dead_ bad controllers). Bet it felt good for Atari to buy Intellivision, though, even if Atari is run by a guy born slightly after that “rivalry” were essentially dead, and so pro’lly less exciting than for those who experienced it first-hand, like me. Of course, I never really thought about Intellivision®️, especially ‘cause they (M Network™️) made two great TRON®️ games for Atari that compensated for what they put on their own machines - ‘cause selling four million copies of licensed games to a base ten times as big as their own was a great financial move for (M)attel Electronics®️. Incidentally, I did already hate going to the one cousin of mine’s house that happened to have an Intellivision®️, which did make going there somewhat enjoyable, for _AD&D®️_ and _Blackjack & Poker,_ the latter of which shoulda been on this list, ‘cause the dealer was awesome...
No love for Tower of Doom?
Intellivision was the Best
No TRON DEADLY DISCS?!?!?
B-17 Bomber?
The first "16-bit" console
This looks way better than the Atari games so why is this console not respected the same way in the retro gaming community
Had one as a kid in the 80's as I think it was given to me from teenage uncles. It was fun. Not sure if the controllers held up over time compared to Atari. Also Atari is easy on the eyes for casuals as a name. Same reason why the Nintendo NES is loved in the USA more than most places as it was huge here compared to say Europe or so who were more into Commodore 64, Amiga etc. I think just recognition. Easy to sell retro shirts for Atari 2600. I don't know a single person I grew up with as friends who had or played an Intellivision.
@@DannyP-dm1pw that makes sense that's like my love for Sega Saturn and Dreamcast it was just misunderstood and not many had one. PlayStation got big and now everybody is infatuated with Sony while I lean more towards Xbox. Cant get Panzer Dragoon Orta on PlayStation it was Xbox only and it's a Sega title so there's that lol
@@thereaper9149 Loved and still love the Dreamcast. Sitting on my living floor now with Crazy taxi in it haha. I'm in my 40's and to be honest the Dreamcast is probably the last pure gaming console I enjoyed. Like I turned it on and focused and played the games. I got it back in late 1999...I think I either sold or my first one broken down but I bought a brand new in box one off Amazon in 2010 or 2011 for just 75 dollars with cheap games again.
I know what you mean. I loved the Sony PS1 but never cared about Sony since. I had the PS2 but once I got X-box I barely touched it. Outside of Twisted Metal Black wasn't much on PS2 I stuck with well that;s not true. I loved GTA 3 but I started with GTA 1 on the PS1.
I loved xbox and xbox 360 but then I kind of quit gaming in like 2010 for many years. Played sparingly. Miss those days.
As I get older I'm not collecting or playing disc based systems much but Dreamcast will always have. I actually enjoyed the Wii as well. Still do. With Nintendo did more with it. I have a Switch but it's like a love hate feeling. Most of the games are just ports on the go.
I been wanting to play Intellivision again. Miss it. I didn't have an NES in the 80's. Older cousins and friends did so I played it but my parents didn't get me one until end of 1991 and by then people had Genesis and SNES. I had gameboy before I had NES so I have a deep nostalgia for it. I can go on and on haha i will shut it
This video feels like it was made in late 00s. I don't know why 😂
I'll be the judge of this 😅
I loved baseball, football, basketball, burger time and donkey Kong the best
Para ser una consola de 16 bits,parecen de 8 bits
Where are Thin Ice and Shark Shark!!!?
Keeping in mind _”Top”_ doesn’t mean _”good.”_

It was hard to play pac man with the disc
I had b-17 bomber with the voice module....bombsss awaysss
While ITV Demon Attack was technically superior to the 2600, its enhanced GFX cut down the play field depth to a very narrow space that just sucks for a shooter. Why make the ground 1/4 of the screen except to show moon GFX?
Case in point that an ITV game with better GFX was worse because of style over function.
Zaxxon and Donkey Kong don't belong on an honorable anything list. And what where is Discs of Tron?!
I cannot accept this travesty. On this entire list, B-17 Bomber was never mentioned.
No sports game = bad list
Why Donkey Kong in honorable mentions? That was crap, almost as bad as the atari version. Also why Zaxxon? Not at all like the arcade version and way to choppy animation. If you included Home Brews you could have included DK Arcade as #1. Burger Time and Bump 'n' Jump should have been higher than Astrosmash, good game but has little replay value and not a game you can pick up often and play frequently.
16 bit games! Hahaha
the worst game ever, I found it in some bargain bin at Kaybee: Sewer Sam. Sucks really badly.
Yay, Lock ‘n’ Chase! Here’s hoping AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin and Deadly Discs of Tron and Nightstalker are on the list. And Burgertime.
D2K Arcade Easily the best Intellivision game by far. Way better than Colecovision Donkey Kong
