But it is a very different market that Intellivision is trying to make a splash compared to ten years ago, never mind forty. Intellivision is posed to make a comeback with the Amico console, a console built with the laudable goal of getting families to play video games together. To the general public, also-ran pre-crash consoles like the Intellivision barely register in its memory.

A few may even have had one when they were younger, have one in their collection or played one at some point in their lives. Who remembers the Intellivision today? Some readers with a sense of history will remember the console as the first console to seriously compete with Atari 2600 before the video game crash of 1983-84.
