Click the pics to Embiggen Intellivision style!
Doing a little research shows the Pole Position port to the Intellivision was originally going to be done by Atari programmers but little work was completed on it and eventually INTV Corp released their own programmed version.
The Congo Bongo port for the Intellivision was the only home title that included all 4 levels from the arcade version, the 2600 was limited by its hardware and possessed only the first and fourth levels of the arcade title.
Boxing was released in 1981 and allowed players to choose from six different boxers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses with the sixth's skills being chosen by the system itself. The player or players were then put in the ring for 15 rounds until a Knockout was delivered or in the case both boxers are still standing it would go to the judges and points would decided the victor. The title sounds a little ahead of its time to me, you can see for yourself if you have an X-Box Live account because it is now available in the Game Room for purchase.
By the way, nothing to do with video games but all to do with being awesome, the Evil Dead debuted on BluRay yesterday. I picked up a copy at my local store this afternoon and plan to spend the early hours of the morning trapped with Ash in that cabin in the woods again.
