Mattel's Intellivision was my first ever console in 1981 - and I'm so tempted to buy Atari's reboot this holiday season

Mattel's Intellivision was my first ever games console (I'm not counting Pong, as it was hardly a proper console) when I bought it back in 1981 - or my parents purchased it for me, I should clarify - and I'm seriously excited about Atari resurrecting this classic piece of eighties hardware. If the Intellivision name is lost on you - and it might well be if you weren't around in the eighties, or don't have an interest in gaming console history - it's an iconic console that featured a black-and-gold finish with wood-effect trim. Atari is also throwing in some "fan-favorite arcade games" aside from the original Intellivision classics, and that includes Boulder Dash (which was a much later port for the Mattel console).
