INTELLIVISION UPDATE

Mattel's Intellivision system has an awful lot going for it. Measurably improved graphics are the biggest plus. Some controversy surrounds the controller, however, which features a disc instead of a joystick. It performs beautifully in games like Major League Baseball and NFL Football, but can be troublesome in hot-action contests.

INTELLIVISION UPDATE

Mattel's Intellivision system has an awful lot going for it. Measurably improved graphics are the biggest plus. Some controversy surrounds the controller, however, which features a disc instead of a joystick. It performs beautifully in games like Major League Baseball and NFL Football, but can be troublesome in hot-action contests. Intellivislon continues to evolve, however—the new I ntelIrvoice module provides for computerized talk-talk and the second expansion module will allow l-teli to play all Atari VCS carts as well.

UTOPIA

Highly innovative strategy contest that might shut up the Surgeon General for a couple minutes. You get your own banana republic with an electronic populace that cannot impeach you.

I especially liked buying mercenaries to attack the neighboring isle.
