Unique 1982 Intellivision Commercial Shown Only In Cinemas

This commercial is two minutes long and was only shown in cinemas before feature presentations in 1982. An intersting animation effect is used here. Hand rotoscoped cel animation is drawn with large pixels to resemble video game graphics of the day.

I had an aquaintance with an intellivision, that was close enough for me to the device. The controllers just sucked. (He also had the "Big Trak" truck which you could program with the keypad in its truck bed.) I was into Atari 2600.

I always felt the games for Intellivision were 100 times better than anything that appeared on the 2600. Utopia (the first console RTS ever), Tron Deadly Discs, and Star Strike were fantastic. My brother and I were playing the Intellivision even after the original NES came out--it didn't hurt that you could find games for like $5 after Mattel discontinued the system. We learned how to do spot repairs on the controllers (the discs would get out of alignment easily) but eventually something internal went and we finally had to junk it. Thank god for emulators though.
