1.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, terrible execution..., November 1, 2003

This review is from: Intellivision 25 Video Game System (Toy)

I saw this game in a store, and figured "What the heck! $20 bucks? Why not?" Waste of money.

I grew up on Intellivision, and was excited to play some of these games again. Unfortunately, this product is sub-standard in many ways. Quite simply, the controller fails to work quite often. Trying to play Snafu was nearly impossible. Invariably I would end up killing myself when the controller went in the wrong direction. Wresling simply didn't work, couldn't execute any moves. Same with football, impossible to call plays.

A big beef I have with this is on the baseball game. When a player is thrown out, it doesn't say the classic "Yer out!" like the original. How difficult would it have been to thrown that in?

Just a terrible attempt at re-creating some great old-time games. Seems as though this product wasn't even tested prior to production. Way too many flaws to recommend, even at such a low price. Don't waste your money. Hopefully the upcoming PS2 versions will be much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to your expectations, October 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Intellivision 25 Video Game System (Toy)

First, the positive aspects: The controller is easy to hold, the buttons work, the games look similar to the originals, there are 25 games included.

Ok, now the negatives: Speed is too fast compared to the original (Intellivision games had a flow that this system seems to ignore), sounds are missing or different (some games play silent), some games it's hard to control the character (in basketball, I couldn't move diagonally).

I appreciate attempting to create a Intellivison portable, but this attempt falls short. The Atari and Activision portables play much better than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars No visible basket in a basketball game?? - Don't buy it., September 28, 2004

This review is from: Intellivision 25 Video Game System (Toy)

I am an avid retro gaming fan and I had high hopes for this product. I bought it last week and all I can say is "don't buy it", even if you are a die hard Intellivision fan. I didn't have an issue with the controller, the problem is with the programming. Some of the games are missing important graphic elements. For example, with Super Pro basketball, the baskets aren't even visible! The players are shooting the ball at nothing! Save your money. This product is a huge disappointment - I'm returning it today
