The Mattel Intellivision
The Intellivision took home video games into a more sophisticated direction.
Dating back to 1979 and sporting a glorious gold-and-faux-wood aesthetic, the Mattel Intellivision was a powerhouse of home video gaming technology in its day.
Along with Nintendo’s Donkey Kong, the Intellivision was home to an impressive array of fun and innovative games, including:
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
Beamrider
BurgerTime
Tron: Deadly Discs
Night Stalker
While the Intellivision never earned the global smash-hit status of competitors like the Atari 2600, its library of fun games and innovative accessories make it a beloved collectors item today.
