•Your friend is about one-third right. There are no actual game carts that can plug into both the Intellivision and Atari home game systems. But there are some games that are available for both systems on their respective cartridge configurations.

I have an Atari Video Game System, my best friend has an Intellivision System. He says that while most game carts are made for either one system or the other, there are some that will play on either system. He's usually wrong obouf everything else, could he be right about this?

•Your friend is about one-third right. There are no actual game carts that can plug into both the Intellivision and Atari home game systems. But there are some games that are available for both systems on their respective cartridge configurations. For instance, Coleco makes two versions for Donkey Kong, one for the Intellivision computer, the other for Atari. Like VHS and Beta in the video tape field, the video game manufacturers have created their own standardizations, which means that your favorite home game and your favorite home machine may not be compatible.
