 Brings me back to my gaming days June 8, 2007
Tyler Durden (Washington)
Yes this game could have been made much better .. but if you're a true old school gamer, it's the nostalgia that matters. This game brings me back.. 4 out of 5 stars.

I've purchased games that turned out to be less than expected, but this one beats them all. As noted in other reviews, the graphics suck, and the controls are beyond all attempts to describe the level of suckiness. If you're looking for some old school arcade games that are half decent, get Namco Coliseum or Midway Arcade Treasures.
 If you want a great compilation of games, look elsewhere because all this is is a botched up advertisement. December 27, 2006
Intellevision Lives attempts to bring the player back in the 80's but this seems more like an advertisement than a game. The soundtrack songs are corny and sound like radio advertisements. The graphics of the games still remain blocky and the new graphics added were poorly done too. The presentation is crappy. It sets the player in a diner which has 5 Intellevision arcade machines. This game fails to provide decent bonus content as well. There are 60 games in here and due to so many, you would enjoy them in short bursts, but there is only one problem. The frustrating controls which never seem to explain themselves.
To sum it up, this game is a great collection, but it was too rushed up and that was it's downfall. Look elsewhere for a decent compilation.

As I grew up with an Intellivision console, I was very happy to see this compilation, however as a GC release this is a flawed item.
As the other reviewer stated it requires you to use one of the GC control sticks to replace the number pad, this was not handled very smoothly and just does not give you the control some of the games require, effectivly killing the playability for those games from anyone, beyond those in my shoes who played them before and really wish to play them again.
That said, it also contains some of the great classic Intellivision games that don't require the number pad and are just as fun to play as they were 20 years ago. Astrosmash is still a game that can be played for hours it you are good/fast enough.
Simply put, older games who had the system might enjoy this, but with the lack of the original number pad it just isn't as good as other classic releases (atari, namco) to pick up and play.
Also the bonus items (old ads, a short history of the system) were a nice addition to add.

Talk about a blast from the past! Intellivision was one of my favorite game consoles in the early 80s, so when I heard about this title I jumped at the chance to own it.
The graphics are of course laughable by today's standards, but the games still hold up as fun and (for the most part) inventive, if not exactly challenging.
And in addition to over 30 games, this title also has interviews with the programmers, a vido segment telling the history of Intellivision, and bonus commercials that you can unlock by achieving goals in some of the games.
One negative is that only Intellivision titled games are present in this collection, so no Microsurgeon or Atlantis or AD&D (the best game for the sytem).
However, there are still a ton of classic and fun games, including: Space Battle, Sea Battle, Utopia, Snafu, and Astrosmash.
