George Plimpton, celebrity spokesperson for Intellivision in the early 1980s, died September 25 at his home in New York City. He was 76. Plimpton's TV and print commercials usually featured him directly comparing Atari 2600 games with Intellivision games and pointing out "The difference is clear." In a series of commercials with E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial star Henry Thomas, the child actor would refer to Plimpton as "Mr. Intellivision."
A collection of over 50 classic Intellivision games is coming to both the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox game consoles. Video of the user interface - a 360 degree 3-D pizza arcade - was shown at the Classic Gaming Expo, August 9 & 10, 2003, in Las Vegas. The publisher, Crave Entertainment, has announced that the collection, Intellivision Lives!, will be in stores before Christmas. 
Intellivision 10 and Intellivision 25 direct-to-TV video game systems will be introduced at the Classic Gaming Expo, August 9 & 10, 2003, in Las Vegas. Each system is a complete video game console with classic Intellivision games built into a battery-operated hand controller. The controller plugs into the video/audio jacks on the front of most TV sets via an 8-foot cable. Intellivision 10 and Intellivision 25 will become available in stores worldwide over the next few months. 
In 2000, Intellivision Productions produced a limited number of Atari 2600 cartridges Sea Battle and Swordfight. These games had been developed at Mattel Electronics in the early 1980s but were never released. We finally introduced them in our booth at the 2000 Classic Gaming Expo. Those cartridges quickly sold out, but now we've licensed AtariAge to make more. You can purchase them for $25 each on the AtariAge web site. 
As of April 26, all three of the free Intellivision game collections are compatible with Windows XP, as well as other Windows and Mac operating systems. The three Intellipacks are available on our 
Two Intellivision Greatest Hits collections for PC and Mac - one with 10 games, one with 25 games - are now shipping to stores across the USA. These are the first Intellivision releases for PC and Mac available in brick-and-mortar outlets. 
George "The Fat Man" Sanger led his band Team Fat in performing "Surfin' on Thin Ice" at the 2002 Classic Gaming Expo held August 10 and 11 in Las Vegas. The song is just one of the updates of classic Intellivision game themes found on the new music CD Intellivision in Hi-Fi which was first released at the Expo. 
Gene Smith, designer/programmer of the Intellivoice game Bomb Squard and developer of the IBM PC versions of BurgerTime and Lock 'N' Chase, passed away July 14, 2002 after a brief fight with cancer. The Blue Sky Rangers share their memories of Gene.
