Atari versus Intellivision
ARTICLE BY TEAM B MARKETING: I have a confession to make. I still own an Atari 2600, two as a matter of fact (unless my mother doesn’t care about my childhood and sold my original). So my opinion on the Atari 2600 vs. Intellivision may be slightly biased. I have one at my home in Denver and one in my parent’s attic in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately the version I have in Denver is a newer model with all the gamesbuilt right into the system, so it’s kind of cheating and pales in co…
Swords and Serpents Spotlight Review
On the last Retro Game Review Podcast, you heard fellow Arbitrarian, Joe, and myself talk about fantasy video games. Well, last week my big brother gave me a fantasy video game as a gift for standing up in his wedding. At the grooms dinner, he gave me a gift bag that included an Intellivision t-shirt and a copy of Swords and Serpents. My brother Jeff and my cousin Mark are the two responsible for introducing me to video games when I was little. Now that I’m 30 years old, I love the fact that …

The Story of Video Games in 10 TItles
You could argue that every game is of some sort of historical significance, of course. The question really is how do you whittle down the list.
Can you really have a list of the games that have defined our medium without the inspirational Half-Life? That skips over the technologically liberating Pong? That omits the expectation-defying Super Mario 64? That fails to mention the crack-like World of Warcraft? That ignores the divorce-inducing Championship/Football Manager? That ignores the comme…

FROM RETRONAUTS: Admittedly, we’re not big Intellivision intelligentsia — I was the only one of the hosts who owned it, and 18 years after it was relevant. But we’re here to appreciate, and that’s what we do. As one of the first, biggest challengers to the Atari 2600′s…

Brett Weiss reviews Match 5 for Intellivision
Review by BRETT WEISS: One of the geekiest things I do is keep track of my high scores on classic video games in a spiral notebook. Most any time I fire up a vintage cartridge or a classic console homebrew title that I enjoy, I’ll have the notebook open to my all-time high score on that particular game so I can try and beat it. This makes the game way more fun and exciting than simply playing it with no particular goal in mind.
With Match 5, a terrific puzzler from the good folks …
