I am now the proud father of an Intellivision, just hooked it all up. I don't have many games though.... 3 actually. Frog Bog BAseball and Football.
What are some different games, that are good in your opinion. I am looking for stuff outside of regular staples like Burgertime, Donkey Kong etc.
Thanks

Ahhh yes.... TRON..... someday I WILL own a TRON Arcade machine!
You know, I have that game for the 2600 and I have never tried it yet, I will have to go try it. I only remember playing TRON at the Arcade. I also haveAdventures of TRON for 2600. Haven't played either yet. Too many games too little time.

Owning a TRON arcade machine is one of my lifelong wishes as well. I know what you mean by too many games too little time. My son just turned 1 month old today!!!

Make that three! And I will own both Tron and Disc of Tron arcade. But at a grand, I'd have to get lucky on one.
Oh yeah, to get this back on topic, I strongly suggest both AD&D games.

At the moment, your son will take away from your game playing time. Through experience though, I have learned as your son gets older, your gaming time will increase as his love for the hobby increases. Thats what happened with me. My son is turning 6, and we like to play games together. There is hardly a day when we don't. I should add he likes to play a wide variety of games over a wide variety of systems. He is the kid on the block who doesn't have to fight with his parents to buy/play video games..... its just a fight for his turn lol. OK , the last part was a joke but we really love to play, and he chooses multiplayers so neither of us is idling.
I have a daughter who is turning 2 in june. Over the last 2-3 weeks, it is becoming a nightly routine with her as well, where I take her in the " ment " as she says for basement. It gives my wife a break, and my daughter asks for " party " as in Mario Party 4, or Donald as in Kingdom Hearts. So I play it while she sits in my lap with a controller, shortly after " her fix " lol, she asks to go to bed. I really only do it for her to help her sleep..... honestly.
Those 2 elements make for some of my best ever gaming memories!

I can't wait to introduce him to the hobby. He usually is with me when I go upstairs to the game room. He sits by me in a "bouncy seat" and seems to be content(sometimes sleeping). I am also a HUGE Star Wars fan and collector and have already started buying SW toys for him! I hope I can someday share with him the joy that both these hobbies bring me.

He he...I have surpassed all your dreams! I used to own a Tron machine. Sold it over a year ago though. And right after I got it, one of my friends picked up a Discs of Tron machine for $100 in mint condition! So I got to sit and play both for free. Discs of Tron is WAY better to own by the way....Tron gets old FAST.

Thunder Castle is easily one of my FAVORITE games of all-time! It's a maze-game somewhat like Pacman and Lock N Chase, but much better.
Utopia is a fun two-play sim game. But, it really isn't very exciting one player.
Dreadnaught Factor is a great shooter if you haven't got it for any other system, it's great.
AD&D is another classic.
