 Better then owning an Intellivision. January 14, 2008
I never owned this system as a kid and to be honest I'm glad, But I'm also glad to have a descent collection of video games for about 6 bucks. So in theory I could say that I currently own an Intellivision System and most of its top games.....

Would've got 5 stars BUT......... January 21, 2007
it makes my Playstation 2 sound like its dying.
Whenever I play this game, my system's fan speeds up as fast as possible & it keeps stuttering.
Not sure what the problem is. I'm afraid to play it too long b/c I don't want it to break my system.
Other than that, the game is great. Except for a few games that require two players, everything else is fine.
My all time favorites SNAFU & Shark Shark are present (gotta love the Snafu soundtrack). Even Utopia is on this game. My brother's favorite, Astrosmash has to be mentioned also.
Even though I love these games, I'd say to only rent the game. Unless I bought a lemon, your system will hate you for making it play the game...
An Intellivision Fan January 4, 2007
This game is awesome it brought back to me full memories when i was a kid and i had my own intellivision II. The only thing hard to learn it's the mapping of the Intellivision controller to the ps2 controller but once solved that little obstacle the game brings tons of fun. If you were a really fan of this console in the 80's you won't be dessapointed.
Better off renting it June 28, 2006

I got this awhile ago, with a different case. Now it's got a different case, so I figured that the flaws were fixed ... Not at all.

The game selection is retarded. A no-frills menu of the games is all I need, not some clunky ordeal. The concept of the background music must have looked great on paper, but is simply annoying. I know, music taste is subjective, but I'm talking about the way songs are selected. Plus, there are volume options for sound effects and "intellivision", but what's the difference? Cause only the option for sound effects works. And finally, everyone's favorite axe to grind: the controller. Yeah, hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the concept is annoying and should be optional. It's the Playstation 2, not the original Intellivision console, with its flimsy, crackly sounding keypad. Hmm, I know! Make L1,L2,R1,R2,L3,R3 and any three of the shape buttons the pad! Then you have a fire button and select/start left. Besides, very few of the games actually use all the "original" keypad. This museum was rushed, and it shows.
---
In all honesty and fairness, this museum wasn't meant to be an update, and as mentioned, there are key titles missing. But the manufacturer can't get all the licenses, so they did the best they could. The console + 60 games was over 1000 dollars in the eighties, and at that point, you could get them at retail stores. Now you're lucky if you can get a decent console with working pads, and the good titles are hard to find. (I imagine the total price is over a grand, but a bargain hunter could get it all for a few hundred) So it's easy for me to shoot the messenger, but I am glad I have these games. But because of the aforementioned issues, I use this museum once a year, and may never use it again.
---
If you're curious about this museum, rent it. If it's not available, buy it used. I guarantee you'll be trading it soon ...
