You could buy my Intellivision in the marketplace with quite a few good games :ponder:

Odyssey 2 awesome games
UFO
Pick Axe Pete
KC Munchkin
KC's Crazy Chase
Attack of the Timelord
Turtles
Alien Invaders Plus
Demon Attack
the brazillian version of Frogger works on a US O2 so thats a pick, as well.

Add to that list Quest for the Rings just make sure it has all the game pieces.

My Brazillian Frogger doesn't work on my O2.

For Intellivision:

Diner
any Imagic title
Frogger
Burgertime
the sports titles

just keep in mind that the controllers for the Intellivision are hard to use.

I second Diner. The Inty's best game IMO. Also for the Intellivision, try most anything done in the INTV (post-crash) years. Hover Force, Tower Of Doom, Stadium Mud Buggies, Commando, and Body Slam. From the Mattel era, go for Burgertime, Thunder Castle, Thin Ice, Motocross, Pinball, Beauty & The Beast, Utopia, Tron Deadly Discs, and AD&D Cloudy Mountain.

If you find an INTV release of Dig Dug, the programmer had enough memory to put in a hidden game. It's got the hot dog characters from Burgertime grafted into the game Tron Deadly Discs. It's called 'Deadly Dogs'. I've always wanted a copy of Dig Dug just to see that hidden game.

For the Odyssey, go to:

Video Game Connections

and check out the 128 game Multi-Cart. Excellent cart with lots of good stuff on it. Use's dip switches to select the game. Until I bought this cart I had never seen Frogger, Popeye or Q*Bert on the O2.

I also recommend Amok (very nice Berzerk clone) and Turtles, simply the BEST game on the Odyssey in my opinion.

As for INTV, my favorites are: Tron Deadly Disks, any of the voice games ("Bandit, 12 o'clock!"), BurgerTime, Bump & Jump, Mindstrike (if you get a computer module), any of the Imagic games, Sub Hunt, Night Stalker, Sea Battle (for two player action) and Slam Dunk Basketball. There is also an excellent version of Pac-Man for the INTV.

Sorry, this is a little off-topic; Has there ever been a port or rip-off of Mind Strike to a computer system? I'd like to play it on my Mac so I don't have to use my ECS. My ECS only works for about 10 minutes or so before the screen goes blank. And i've never been able to get it to work in Intellivision Rocks!, either. I love the hell out of Mind Strike, but my ECS is just too unreliable.

For the INTV, you cannot go wrong with anything from Imagic. Activision also had some decent ports as well. AVOID the Coleco ports. They're horrible!

As for the Odyssey2, I don't really play my games often enough to know what to recommend. Pick Axe Pete is a good choice though. Showdown in 2100AD is not bad either.
