    Intellivision

    Not a big gamer but had fun with 16 bit Intellivision way back when.
    So I naturally figure my young daughter would love the experience.
    I bought a complete original set with 20 games off eBay some 10-15 years ago.
    Just bumped into it in the garage. It's perfect. It's never been used.



    Also my daughter was not that thrilled with the track racing car set and a number of
    other dumb dad gifts

    Dude, what you are looking for is a Coleco-Vision.

    No. What I'm really looking for is an arcade version of Discs of Tron.

    I was hardcore Intellivision back in the 80s. Thanks for sharing.

    This

    Jordan vs. Bird One on One, real Ms. Pac Man, Xevious, Food Fight, Joust, Pole Position, just fantastic stuff. Backward compatibility with the 2600 was a plus. The 5200 was a real strange bird but there were some great games for it that were never made for any other system.

    I used to go to my friend's house up the street to play Intellivision.

    First he got an Oddysey 2 (anyone remember that?), then I got an Atari VCS (later to be called the Atari 2600), and then he got Intellivision.

    Those controllers on Invellivision were weird.

    I bought an Amiga 500 in 89 and thought it was the absolute nuts. 500k memory expansion so I was rocking a whole 1mb of RAM and an extra drive so I could easily x-copy any game.

    Friend would download all the cracks from some Dutch BBS/server so I pretty much had every game I wanted... about 400 games.

    The good old days this was my first games machine. Sure it was a computer but I only played games.... other then a generic pong machine in the late 70's

    Awesome machine for it's time.
