Ok, not the greatest photo ever, but anyway, anyone know what this is? I've never seen anything like it before.. Two dials suggest it's a pong of some sort but I can't find any pong machine that looks like this one.. Anyone know the brand and model?

Isn't that a Mattel Intellivision?

 

[borghe]

Thanks a lot!

Those "dials" are actually part of the controller that slid onto the unit, for easier carrying (Which would be a pretty good idea for todays machines).


Intellivision baseball was one of the best games from that generation. Games used to come with a "template" that would slide into the controller OVER the keypad. So, each game had the potential to use 10 buttons. It was pretty cool.

An example of a template:

That indeed is the original Intellivision.

The "dials" as mentioned, are part of the controller. They are 16-way joypadesque discs.

Intellivision rules, BTW. Best console in 1980/81.

It had Donkey Kong!

Intelligent Television - next to the Colecovision!

Ah, Pitfall on one and baseball on the other - that brings back memories. One of my friends had one and another had the other. Both were beyond my means while I was saving for my first car.

Wow, compared to the Atari VCS and 2600 it's BIG.. It looks pretty small on the photos.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

It was big. Not Xbox big, but big.


What, no Bally Astrocade?
