The biggest mistake from mattel electronics to NEVER release that keyboard with it’s promising software for it,BUT at the other hand it could,ve be the second adam expansion because of potential failure rates.
Haha that 16bit cpu wasn’t actually 16bit but more like 10bits because those other 6bits remain useless, And it’s resolution was very very low,even lower then that of the gameboy,an overhyped misleading supposedly hybrid gaming system.
I never realized that but I never owned an Intellivision. I did have a TI-99/4A in the early '80s which also had a 16-bit processor but I actually never realized that until sometime in the '00s simply because I assumed the 99/4 and 99/4A were 8-bit. It was rather sluggish compared to the 8-bits of the time because Texas Instruments didn't have the right 8-bit processor chip ready so a 16-bit was used instead so affecting performance and not for the better. At least the cassette storage was much faster than the Atari 8-bit. As for the Intellivision, just like the TI home computer from the same time I simply assume was 8-bit except that it was only today I discovered the Intellivision was 16-bit thanks to watching this and verifying online.
pity that keyboard never come out, instead some crap version come out, My dad bought me one on the basis it would be a computer one day, when that day never come, I traded it all for a C64.
@RegaLPleX08 Because NBC was the first of the "Big 3" networks to start keeping their logo onscreen all the time rendering their shows unwatchable, and when I put a video up showing how it ruined one of their shows they put in a copyright infringement complaint. I hate Regal Cinemas too- I worked for them 10 years ago and left because they had stupid common-width screens and they wanted to show the stupid ads BIGGER than the movie!
@PortPowerAZ I have the Intellivision disc for the Playstation 2, but of course that isn't the same. The Intellivision's controllers are insanely awful though.
Aquarius? Do you mean Intellivoice? Shame that didn't get more games designed for it... Ever hear about the "Can't say 'can't'" flaw related to it? And the in-house-only parody game the programmers created to play off of joke of what "can't" sounded-like when attempted to be spoken by the Intellivoice?
I upgraded from an Atari 2600 to an Intellivision back in the day. But most of us never seen the keyboard.

At 10:17, mortgage is $105 per month. Yep.
By far the best system until the NES.
Milk for $1.60 a Gallon and bread for $.75 a loaf, we need those prices again!
They were shopping at Aldi. =)
I do believe the guy talking was Phil Tonken
Wow, they ABSOLLUTELY should have been sued over the false advertisement of the 'keyboard computer' add on.
I had this console too!....wish i had it now....memories of wasted youth!
200$ and its urs with 12 games
Amico is coming out next year. Its the new Intellivision.
Damn, I wish the flashback could do all of this. Imagine trying to live and do everything through intellivision for a whole month!
Holy Crap! did he say 16 bit processor with extremely high resolution? Man I can't believe that. I need to get me one. Wait... I already have one.

So the intellivision was the true first 16-bit machine eh? Take that Sega.

Whatever happened to Roulette Craps and Slots? And the Battlestar Gallactica tie-in with Space Battle?
Bee sevanteaen baummmerrr!
I wonder if any of those Battlestar Galactica versions of Space Battle ever made it into the wild?
was that William Shatner narrating?
No, I think that his name was Phil Tonken

My sister and I had an Intellivision for years.. I also had the Xbox game with a majority of the game, as well.. =)
Notice the "Battlestar Galactica" logo on the Space Battle cartridge about 1:03. That licensing deal fell through before it went into production.
Dungeons and. Dragons
I dunno if the licensing deal fell through or it was just the fact that 'Battlestar' had been canceled. Hmmm.
@tkwtube01 Yeah, on the original tape you can tell those parts are fake.

@StudioSHAD George Plimpton wouldn't agree more!
