Centipede for the Mattel Intellivision, released by Atarisoft in 1983. "An insidious invasion of multiplying insects (centipedes, jumping spiders, poisonous scorpions, and frenzied fleas) pose different perils to the mushroom patch." #intellivision #videogames #retrogaming #centipede #atari

Defender for the Mattel Intellivision, released by Atarisoft in 1983. A decent version of Defender with an impressive title screen. Too bad Atarisoft made only a few Intellivision games! #intellivision #videogames #retrogames #retrogaming #defender #atari

Congo Bongo for the Mattel Intellivision, from 1983. Sega’s only Intellivision game. Rough graphics, and only 2 of the arcade’s 4 levels are included, but it does play like Congo Bongo. #congobongo #intellivision #retrogaming #retrogames #classicgaming #videogames

Venture, an Exidy arcade game ported by Coleco to the Mattel Intellivision and released in 1982. A decent Intellivision version of one of the first arcade dungeon exploration loot-and-shoot games. #intellivision #retrogames #retrogamer #retrogaming #ClassicGaming #videogames

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin for the Mattel Intellivision, released in 1983. A first-person perspective dungeon-exploration RPG, with 3-D corridor mazes. This was a big step up for console video games. (1/2) #intellivision #retrogames #retrogaming #videogames

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century received a Little Golden Book version in 1979: "Buck Rogers and the Children of Hopetown." Twiki dumps pepper on menacing mutants and celebrates with a victory dance.

Disney's 1979 film The Black Hole had a Little Golden Book edition, "A Spaceship Adventure for Robots." This version of the story, featuring V.I.N.CENT and Old B.O.B., conveniently omits the violent and weird end of the film. There is some fruit juggling though.

I may be one of the few who like the Bakshi LOTR, especially the character designs. But I don't think I ever saw these toys! Gandalf and the Ringwraith are pretty sweet.
