As a collector that may not have the fortune and funds you have available, what would make me want to buy this over a Colecovision (and keeping in my mind I already have an Atari 2600)? Are there are any "must-have" exclusives for the Intellivision that makes it an essential purchase over a Colecovision? --- End quote --- They're both very different beasts. The ColecoVision is known for it's fantastic conversions of popular arcade games of the time. The Intellivision was better known for it's more ambitious and sometimes even experimental lineup of original tittles that were generally more complex than most of what was available for both the ColecoVision and the 2600. The Intellivsion has early examples of strategy, simulation, RPG and dungeon crawlers as well as some very good arcade conversions as well. The Advanced Dungeons and Dragon games are fantastic and are still a blast to play. |

Hmm it appears I wrongly counted out the Intellivision to early. These games look very interesting especially the RPGs. |
