Intellivision Will Live On The DS

Growing up, I only ever had one friend that owned an Intellivision. Whenever I hung out there, we'd fire up that bad boy and I remember marveling at how awesome the graphics were. Seems silly now, but when Adventure! on the Atari 2600 is your favorite game, seeing Intellivision in action was amazing. I still love Adventure! even today, but you're still only a box on the screen.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing this in September and getting my retro gaming on!
