Intellivision Lives! on Microsoft's Xbox |
Intellivision travels back in time to when Members Only jackets were the rage, Duran Duran rode the AM radio waves and the Rubik's Cube was driving people crazy! Intellivision Productions, Inc., the company that popularized home video games in the 1980s, in association with Crave Entertainment and Realtime Associates, introduces the Intellivision Lives! (MSRP $19.99) console game for the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Intellivision Lives! comes loaded with more than 60 of Intellivision's classic games all on one disc including Astrosmash, Night Stalker, Shark! Shark! and Thunder Castle.
Intellivision Lives! places the gamer in a virtual reality, 360-degree 3-D environment of Hal's Pizza, circa 1982. Arcade machines line the walls of the restaurant, each sporting different themes - space, sports, battle, etc. Each machine serves as an interface to the original Intellivision games plus other exciting features such as original TV commercials, unreleased games and bonus "radical" game modes. Included with the more than 60 classic Intellivision games are games that were never released back in the '80s. The virtual restaurant also features a jukebox that plays Intellivision-themed music.
"We are extremely excited to be the company to introduce these classic Intellivision games to a whole new generation of video game players," said Nima Taghavi, chief executive officer of Crave Entertainment. "Today's games may be big on graphics and special effects, but they can never come close to capturing the endearing nostalgia and fun that Intellivision has kept alive for over 20 years."
"We've always tried to put the games in the context of when they were released - it adds that extra nostalgic boost to the experience," said Keith Robinson, president/co-founder of Intellivision Productions, Inc. and an original game programmer for Intellivision. "In the past we've done that by adding commercials from the '80s, the classic electronic music and the overall design of the graphics. But now we put gamers into an animated 3-D world that captures the feeling of 1982. It is 1982! The first time I scrolled around Hal's Pizza I started laughing. Pizza and video games? Yeah, I could live here!"

The PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions were designed by Realtime Associates, the software firm founded by David Warhol, an original Intellivision game programmer. Realtime Associates produced all the original Intellivision games published by INTV Corp. in the mid- to late- 1980s. Intellivision co-founders Robinson and Stephen Roney were involved in each stage of development to ensure that the design and game emulation are faithful to the original Intellivision system.
Manufactured and distributed by Crave Entertainment, the Intellivision Lives! game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox will be available this holiday season through mass merchants and online retailers worldwide.
