Intellivision Lives!!

Anyone will tell you I'm a lady of the 80's.

When I received my very first paycheck from working at Pic N Save back in 1983, the first thing I bought was an Intellivision console. By the time my console gave up the ghost in 1998, I had acquired: Poker and Blackjack, Horse Racing, BurgerTime, Triple Action, Checkers, Chess, and Night Stalker. Of course, some of the cartridges stopped working (this is what I get for allowing friends to borrow them) before my console's demise. I figured I would never be able to play the Intellivision versions of those games again.

Guess what?

I was surfing the net one evening and found an official web site for Intellivision games, including its history, information about the programmers, and other trivia. Imagine my delight when I found out that I can buy the CD that included all the games I used to own (with the exception of BurgerTime). The CD arrived last night.



The first game I played was Horse Racing. Up to six people can play this game. Each player gets to choose from eight colored horses (pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, white, and violet) in ten races with three different tracks (dry, turf, and muddy).


Of course, I had to play Poker and Blackjack, too. I still chuckle every time the dealer frowns.

Ahhh ... trips down memory lane.
