Since I don't have my Intellivision with me, I'll settle for second best - a bunch of boxes, cartridges and overlays.

This is a terrible shot, a pic taken w my Droid of a 35mm slide of my father's I found yesterday. I just held it up against a white background on my PC @ work, as sort of a lightbox, as I am currently sort of trying to find a quick/cheap/easy way to get boxes of slides from the 70s thru early 90s converted to digital w/o bringing them to someone else to process (lose...ruin).
My father was a toy designer who worked at Coleco until 1979, when he moved to Milton (Hasbro) Bradley. This appears to be a proto type of Colecovision. The sticker on the unit says "Coleco Vision", w a space between words. The slide is dated May 1981. I do not know if this was taken while he wa still @ Coleco, and just developed later, or if this was taken in Springfield, MA while working @ MB.
I have posted other pics of a Vectrex prototype he had built, but he could not recall too much of it, other than who he worked on it with, so I am afraid since this is an even older photo, he will not remember anything.
I will try to get a better, clearer shot of this slide. If anyone has any tips, lemme know, please. I have another slide of this w the top popped open and propped up in the front w what seems to be a built in screen (?) but that seems impossible for the time & technology, however a prototype is often a non-working model of someones imagination so...we may never know.
At the bottom, right to left: System Shock Macintosh version (includes redbook audio renditions of the excellent soundtrack); Star Control 2 3DO (includes redbook audio renditions of the excellent soundtrack...); Karnov for the NES; Tron Deadly Discs for the Mattel IntelliVision (I'm a Tron fanatic, what can I say); and finally, Defender of the Crown for the Phillips CD-i.

I can play 19 consoles worth of games off the systems in this rig now. It's staggering. The Intellivision, since I have to pull it out to play anyway, sits on the TV stand. That wood 'n' wire thing behind the television is a homemade antenna for the digital television converter that I barely use.
i realize that the intellivision isn't really a person, but the guy who invented it has a lot to answer for. how do you take the fun out of video games from 10 year old boys in the mid-80's? easy, get rid of the joystick. yeah, great idea, intellivision. don't you realize that atari was basically a gateway toy for pre-teen male masturbation technique?

For the game Star Master. If you scored 3,800 pts on Game 1 you received the top Supreme StarMaster badge. If you scored 5,700 pts on Game 2 you received the Leader stripe. If you scored 7,600 pts on Game 3 you received the Wing Commander stripe. If you scored 9,000 pts on Game 4 you received the StarMaster stripe.
The ColecoVision came out in the age of the keypad and vertical configuration. Similar in design to the Intellivision or Atari 5200, the CV has an advantage over both of them: The buttons don’t totally suck. When you press a ColecoVision button, you know that you pressed it, unlike those mushy rubbery things that the other systems have. Like the 5200, the CV improves over the Intellivision by putting the control stick at the top of the controller and making it grippable. The CV also accepts game-specific overlays, but unlike other systems, the overlay goes underneath a plastic grid, so you’re able to know which number you’re hitting simply by touch. I’d say this controller is the least carpal tunnel inducing of the vertical keypad set. And best of all, the CV is compatible with Atari 2600 joysticks, so if the game you’re playing only needs one button, you can simply replace the controller with any number of more comfortable 2600 sticks or even a Genesis gamepad.

Sadly, the C64 ended up in the closet, nothing like the honored position it deserves. Up top are some game-related board games, a 3DO, a CD-i, and a Commodore +4 system.

Now there's something unusual - seeing old video game gear in the wild! I've been collecting old Atari and Intellivision games for a while now, and over the years, the games have been slowly drying up. So to suddenly find 50 Genesis controllers at Goodwill is odd to say the least!
