This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Intellivision. Developed by Mattel as direct competition to the Atari 2600, the Intellivision was released in few department stores in Fresno, California in 1979, and was launched globally the following year. The system was launched at a price of $300, and was packed in with Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack. It was the first online console with downloadable games that could be bought through Play Cable. Intellivision went head to head with Atari until the crash of 1983. After the crash, a new company was formed called INTV Corp. to sell the Intellivision and develop new games for it. But the steam eventually ran out, and INTV Corp. closed its doors in 1991. This makes the Intellivision the only console to survive the entire decade of the 1980s. After the closing, Keith Robinson, a former programmer for the Intellivision, founded Intellivision Productions. The new company released many of the old Intellivision games for the PC and modern consoles. Thirty years later, Intellivision still lives on. Happy thirtieth anniversary Intellivision!

Not sure about that, didn't the Atari 2600 make it to the early 90's?

Oops ! My mistake.

Shouldn't this be corrected in the news item?

The last time I saw that running man logo was in an episode of the L-Word.
