Notes:
This is the classic, ancient Intellivision FAQ by Larry Anderson, spiffed up into some HTML. I've also fixed typos here and there, put links in for email addresses, and done some formatting - no
substantive content has been added or removed (with one exception), nor have email addresses been checked, et. al.
The exception to the "no changes" blurb is that I did provide input voltage to the computer adapter power supply in the Entertainment Computer System section. Note that for
units released in Europe and Australia, these voltages should be 220V or 240V 50Hz 17 Watts.
In the "Unreleased Software" list, comments in green italics were added.
Much of this information is now published at the Intellivision Lives! site.
Most of the links in section 6.0 are broken now (link rot).

These people, either knowingly or unknowingly, helped contribute information to this FAQ:
With all of the recently renewed interest in the Intellivision (geez, there's even talk of a fanzine!!). I thought it was a good time for me to repost the Intellivision FAQ. I'm currently working
on an HTML version, complete with pictures! Stay tuned here for more details...
Items that STILL need help are:
- More historical information: Dates, people, places, etc...
- A list of dealers and/or private parties that regularly sell Intellivision games/hardware (I've just about given up on this one =))
- More information regarding the people responsible for forming INTV Corp, as well as dates and the like.
- More game tips and Easter eggs!!
- Internet resources (web pages, FTP sites, and video game related BBSs)
- BBSs that may have video-game related information
- Catalog numbers for titles released under the Sears Tele-Games label (still need names and #'s for quite a few of the titles...)
If you have any additions, corrections, comments, flames, or pats on the back, please mail them to me at insane@best.com. Contributors will get their names
immortalized in the credits, as well as a warm and fuzzy feeling =)
