As modern video game companies push the limits of technology with virtual reality implementation and Hollywood-level production values (and budgets), it turns out that there’s a sizable portion of the gaming public that yearns for simpler times. It’s how Nintendo created a sensation with its NES and SNES Classic systems, and why Sega and Capcom keep generating fanfare with retro throwbacks like Sonic Mania, Mega Man 11, and the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection.
That love of classic gaming now includes the revival of the Intellivision console, which was originally released by Mattel in 1979 and was on shelves through 1990. This new Intellivision is being touted as a “family video game console” and is being headed by Intellivision Entertainment's president, Tommy Tallarico, an industry veteran who served as a composer on games like Earthworm Jim and 2000’s Spider-Man on the PlayStation.
