Intellivision games have come out on some of the newer systems like playstation , gamecube and xbox. the biggest problem with these games is the overlays. most of the games are hard to play because you cant really use the overlays. Since the next gen systems are going to have touch screens they can put the overlays on the touch screen. then we can play the old games just like we did in the 80's. What do you think ?

I don't think it will happen, but it could. I had a lot of fun with D&D, Subhunt, B-52, and other imagic games back then

Astrosmash and Sea Battle. If I had those two games, I'd be happy.

You can get those two games and many others in the Intellivision Lives! compilation, which is available for various systems. It's still being sold for some of them.

unfortunately the D&D games will most likely never be re-released

The only thing that creeped me out about Intellivision Lives was the background song that started with the line 'You are my love and my friend.' To the singer: whoa dude too much information....

Tron was great, I didn't list all the fantastic games, but I loved Deadly Discs...so much fun. Motorcycles close second.

The thrill of beating the red guys off was a blast.

I sent an e-mail to the company that makes intellivision lives and i told them about my idea and this is what he sent me

Thanks for your interest in Intellivision, Jim! Yes, we're excited about the addition of touch-screens to game systems. Intellivision Lives! for the Nintendo DS (which came out in Dec 2010) does use the touch-screen to display the overlay for each game. It works wonderfully; it comes closest to capturing true Intellivision game play of any version we have done so far.We hope to be able to do a release for the new Wii U which also uses a touch-screen controller. Keep your fingers crossed! Make sure you are signed up for our Game Club to get the latest news. Keith Robinson. PresidentIntellivision Productions, Inc.

That's the case for most licensed game ever and not really news. It's very rare to see deals struck again decades later, but those are exceptions and not the rule.

I wouldn't expect it any other way.
