I was considering an Intellivision recently. I was online and saw that Intellivision 2 was cheaper, but then read that they put some half-assed scheme into the console so that it purposely couldn't read games made by Coleco, as well as a few other games caught in the cross-fire.
Is it still possible to play those games somehow, or is it just not worth it and better to go for an original intellivision?
As an owner of the original console I can honestly say, don't bother. Going back and playing those games on the PS1 was kinda painful and soured me on the idea of ever trying to get it again.
But if you do, make sure to get the voice pack.

Nooooooo...the INTV is a great classic console, with classics like Discs of Tron and an emulation on the PS1 can't replicate the experience of a real INTV with it's weird controllers and woodgrain style.

I have played with the voice unit once upon a time (BOMB SQUAAAD).
I like my 2600 so I don't see why I wouldn't like an INTV, plus the RPGs sound boss. The most that I remember reading is you really want the inserts as well as the manuals.

Original owner here, if you like old games, specifically space games, go for it.
I find it more aesthetically pleasing than the later models. I love my INTV1. It's so ungodly wide with the voice add-on; makes me smile every time.

Sounds as good as the Genesis (even shares the SN76489 sound chip) and was a fun system.
