Speaking of game controllers that actually play games...

Check this one out! It's a game controller, similar to the one Jakks made for the Atari 2600, except this plays Intellivision games!

Everyone who wanted to see the old systems make a comeback are finally getting their wish. Again, I hope this turns out a lot better than the 2600 game packs did. Also, just how are these games being made? Are they emulated or just redesigned versions of the original system chipsets with extra games included? Has anyone ever found out for sure what's in these controllers?

The processor actually was a 16-bit General Instruments 1610 running at 1MHz.

The units themselves are listed at Intellivision Lives as bein available at CGE: $14.99 for the 10-game unit and $24.99 for the 25-game unit. There are pictures of the units and lists of titles for each.
