I love the computer generated voice, "YUUUUUUUUEEEEEERRRRRR-OOOOUUUTTT"

I have an Intellivision II. I also have an "Intell-a-voice" for one of the games so it can talk. It's in a box in the garage. I do like my Atari better, b/c I don't mind primitive graphics and I like using a joystick as opposed to pushing buttons.

Never had the baseball.....but we did have Donkey Kong, Auto Racing, Blackjack, Space Battle (PIX! PIX!), Sea Battle, Skiing and Basketball.

Had Baseball. Use to run up the score a lot.

I'm with you 100% on that one. I still have a working Atari 2600 and enjoy those games way better than any of the recent games that I've seen.

Intellivision Baseball was the first chink in Atari's armour, IMHO. I am stupidly loyal and I loved Atari. In fact, I still have one today. However, when the set up an Intellivision display at a local dept store, my friends and I spent hours in there playing baseball. It was unquestionably better than Atari's sports games. Now, we didn't stop enjoying Atari, but it was a sign time's never-relenting partner, change.

As an Atari owner, I hated George Plimpton's condescending well educated guts as a kid.

Secretly I loved going to my friend's house and playing his Intellivision but it came at the price of hearing a lecture of it's superiority over Atari, you've haven't lived until you've heard a 12 year old do that accent.

Oh man I still enjoy my Atari 2600 to this day too ! Every once in awhile I break it out and relive some classics. I will enjoy that system until all the wires and circuiting has fried themselves out !

I've never cared about sports games, so I was perfectly happy with my Atari 2600 and never wanted an Intellivision. But when Colecovision came out, damn I wanted that thing. Their version of Donkey Kong made Atari's version look like total crap.
