Intellivision Owners

Does anyone else know what an Intellivision is, or am I the only one the does (and still owns a functioning one)? I do, however, need new controllers... if anyone can help out...Intellivision Owners
I know what it is, certainly, the Matell Intellivision. I didn't get into gaming until the 8-bit era, and my friend had an Atari 7800, so I did play a lot of 2600 games. By that time, the Intellivision, Colecovision, and Odyssey were long-forgotten. For kids my age, old-school console gaming was defined by Atari, and little else. By the time I'd actually discovered those systems, they were little more than period pieces.Search Ebay or Craigslist (search Craigslist in like...NYC or LA, for that matter).Intellivision Owners
I know what it is, never owned one. My friend has one though.

I had one back in 81 and my finger still hurts from playing Space Hawk. I loved that thing. Some amazing games like AD%26D, Night Stalker, Tron Deadly Discs... Good memories.There's all kinds of controllers and parts on Ebay, or at least last time I looked a few weeks ago.
It was my first home videogame system. If my parents could have seen the future they probably would have never bought it. There were several games that were great times back then, though they haven't aged as well as my memories of them. I played a lot of Burger Time, Night Stalker, Tron, Pitfall, Astrosmash, Space Armada (Invaders plagiarized), and B-17 Bomber. Have fun with it if you are going to play.

I also like Bomb Squad, Microsurgeon, B-17 Bomber, Thunder Castle, Venture... many others
