Intellivision on Xbox 360! Download Now!
Tuesday, 23 September 2008
Intellivision Lives!, our collection of over 60 classic Intellivision games, is available for downloading now for Xbox 360! Yes, it's nostalgic; yes, it's a lesson in gaming history; but mostly it's fun! Night Stalker, Astrosmash, Snafu, Sea Battle, Shark! Shark! B-17 Bomber... these games may have blocky graphics, but they have first-rate, quick, casual game play! They're games you'll play over and over!

Originally published by Crave Entertainment for the Xbox console, Microsoft Corporation has selected Intellivision Lives! to be one of the titles available through Xbox Originals on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Xbox Originals lets you find, buy and download games from the original Xbox console for play on Xbox 360. All titles, including the Intellivision Lives! collection, are priced at $15. More information is on the Xbox web site [link].

"I'm very happy they chose to include us," says Keith Robinson, president of Intellivision Productions, Inc. and one of the original Intellivision programmers. "The Crave release went out of print at the end of 2007 because retailers won't carry titles anymore for the original Xbox console, but the Intellivision games are perennials. It's great to see it back now on Xbox 360. Intellivison Lives! lives!"
