There are at least a couple dozen unreleased Intellivision titles that are playable. They've almost all been published or shared. More if you count Tutorvision titles.

But ‘Minecraft’, ‘Summerhouse’ snd ‘Pacific Drive’ are titles that if you imagine you’d never seen or heard about the games (with Minecraft, perhaps difficult), would’ve blown your mind and opened mental doors of imagination to exotic, exciting or expanding worlds…? Sure…Adventure, in and by itself sounds generic now, and since Atari didn’t follow suit to produce sequels, it has the familiarity I mentioned: known by those who grew up with a 2600, re-introduced to modern retrogamers via collections, and to children [with parents] through the 2600 Lego-set. Which is why I’ve several times mentioned it should serve as a franchise title akin to ‘Star Wars’ - which, if you imagine you knew nothing of it, could sound very, very generic. Moreover, Adventure is a western produced game; perhaps it would’ve gotten the title The Legends of Final Adventures, if it has been released in Japan?

Darren Melbourne, the licensing expert behind all Retro Games Ltd. projects is also co-founder and licensing director at Antstream. Could this also be that gentle way to test the waters before embarking on a more bold venture with the IE brand? And what better person to consult with regarding any licensing issues that might arise or already exist regarding distribution of titles thought to be off limits? #6 I said this before. Atari owns a stake in AntStream and the more games on that platform by Atari, the more dependent they are of Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the thread now has become somewhat complicated, and speculations abound (at least as seen from my relative ‘outsider’ view), is it possibly to verify whether the Imagic titles are part of the 200+ acquired?

Atari owns a stake in AntStream and the more games on that platform by Atari, the more dependent they are of Atari. While streaming isn't the best way to play these old games, it does make it more straightforward to implement online multiplayer. With all the two player only Intellivision games, an online multiplayer feature would make Antstream standout as a service for Intellivision players. Or, online multiplayer implemented through Atari SA servers without streaming would be even better. 7 minutes ago, Giles N said: As the thread now has become somewhat complicated, and speculations abound (at least as seen from my relative ‘outsider’ view), is it possibly to verify whether the Imagic titles are part of the 200+ acquired? If something here has been mentioned over and over, but flew right above my head, sorry for not keeping up. IE didn’t claim to own Imagic copyrights so it's not something they can sell. They did claim access to the catalog, e.g. licences. Those licenses might be transferable, assuming they had and still have them. My guess is, to get to 200, every Mattel Electronics and INTV Corp project, playable or not, that has some code is included. Maybe even some of those from their contracted developers are included.

Buck Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but which party approached the other regarding the sale/purchase? Did Atari reach out with an offer or did the former holder knock on Atari's door and say "Psst, hey buddy. Wanna buy some Intellivision?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+frankodragon Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Makes me wonder now that if Atari also has the rights to the old Mattel Children's Discovery System computer. It had interchangable cartridges and overlays with a few arcade game carts but it was mainly an edutainment device. It also had the IntelliVision running man.

The French Wikipedia page (strangely enough there's not an English one) describes Diner as an exclusive sequel to BurgerTime. But I'm wondering if it was that official, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Haven't looked at a game list recently, but maybe they got some titles from the true successor to the Intellivision console, the Hyperscan! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
