Intellivision Flashback Classic Game Console

Wasn't expecting too much in terms of quality with the game-play, but I wanted to give this purchase a shot because this was my favorite game system ever. THIS IS A MUST PURCHASE FOR INTELLEVISION FANS!!!! I don't know any other way to say it but set-up out of the box was easy, and being able to play this on my 55 inch flat screen was incredible!!!! First game I put on was my all time favorite, "Horse Racing"! Yes, not much strategy or thinking involved, just fun and it played and raced the same as the original system! Then I played "Football", and it's hard to believe that it took just a few minutes to remember how to set the offense and defense and run a play, came back like riding a bike 30 years later! I am saving another favlorite, "Baseball" for another day and will enjoy same of these a little at a time! I was lucky enough to purchase the Dollar Value store edition with two player baseball, so I can play with my family. These games were not only less complicated to play, but just plain more FUN. Today you need to be part rocket scientist to play these video games and you must constantly be playing if you want to keep your level up. This systems has games that are fun and easy to play and will give hours of enjoyment, so do not hesitate to buy one!

This was as good as playing on the real intelevision, easy to hook up

doesn't work

The system is a great idea..but the controllers are laggy and don't work very well.

had only one controller overlays were all scattered in box . did work though

Lots of fun and this brought back many great memories. I am impressed with the quality of the games, on target. Armor battle crashed sometimes. Also, it would not be hard to provide the plastic hand controller inserts for all games and many are not provided which means you have to look at the instruction book to get things straight. Definitely worth the very affordable price! Young people can't believe how bad the games are, but I love them!

This is a great purchase for anyone longing for Intellivision's glory days or wanting to experience the old days of video gaming. I had to look around for the Dollar General unit as I wanted the original baseball game. If you don't care about that version of baseball just get the 60 game version. Some of the games you need the overlays for and it doesn't have them but they are pictured in the manual so you can play them with a little practice. I've had a great time teaching my 8 year old daughter how to play Shark! Shark!. If you are unfamiliar with a game and want to know how to play it go to intellivisionlives.com and you'll find all the game manuals in the "Intellivision Flashback Support Links" section. The controllers are the same size and feel as the originals except the side buttons are easier to use. It's very simple to connect to a modern TV. Just plug in your AV cords, turn it on and play! This is a must if you had an intellivision and want to play it again.
