Exploring the Forgotten World of Intellivision's Intel-Voice System

As I sit down to record some footage of my beloved Intellivision console, I'm reminded of its impressive features and capabilities. Specifically, I want to focus on one of its most innovative aspects: the Intel-Voice system. As a collector of vintage gaming consoles, I've always been fascinated by this forgotten aspect of the Intellivision's history.

Looking at the footage it honestly looks kind of odd. It looks like I'm taking something and you're going down and you're trying to disarm this bomb so I get that looking at the graphics of course you're looking at it and I'm looking at it and I'm like but it was cool to hear it talk and do different things no other console did this at the time. You had Texas Instruments or whatever had a learning system or something at the time and they were doing something like that with speech and learn and fun, but no game console was doing it so it was kind of neat breakthrough for that type of thing.

I'm gonna give him credit for that absolute credit for that. The Intel-Voice system was a groundbreaking innovation in gaming at its time. It added an entirely new layer of interactivity to the Intellivision experience, allowing players to engage with the game world in ways that were previously unimaginable. As I go through this footage or whatever please comment below if you actually played these games or if you liked them or if you think completely terrible or whatever just let me know because I want to see your comments.

I've never played any of these games before, even though I own the system. It's been collecting dust in the corner of my room, a relic of a bygone era. The B-17 Bomber game is perhaps one of the most intriguing on this list. It looks like a real-life military simulation, with players taking on the role of a bomber pilot tasked with dropping payloads and avoiding enemy fire. I'm really cool for its time, don't get me wrong. I think it was a major innovation in game design at the time.

Next up is B-17 Bomber, which sounds like a pretty intense experience. The gameplay seems to involve mapping out targets, flying the plane, managing altitude, and dropping payloads. It's a really complex system that would have required a lot of skill and strategy to master. I've never played it before, but I'm eager to give it a try.

Moving on from the World War II setting of B-17 Bomber, we come to Space Spartans. This game is actually kind of cool for what it was at its time. It's like a high-flying shooter, with players taking control of a spaceship and engaging in dogfights with enemy planes. One of the standout features of this game is its 3D graphics, which were revolutionary for their time.

Of course, no discussion of Space Spartans would be complete without mentioning the infamous "Talk" feature. I've heard rumors about how some games on the Intellivision used voice acting, but I've never actually experienced it myself. The footage from this game suggests that the Intel-Voice system was able to create a truly immersive experience, with characters speaking and interacting with each other in real-time.

I'm definitely curious about trying out Space Spartans for myself, if only to hear the Talk feature in action. It sounds like an incredible innovation that really set the Intellivision apart from its competitors at the time.

In addition to B-17 Bomber, another game I'd love to try is Intel Avoid Schemes. This game seems to be all about strategy and planning, as players take on the role of a bomber pilot tasked with avoiding enemy fire and completing objectives. With only four levels to complete, it sounds like a real challenge that would require skill and focus.

As I continue to explore the world of Intellivision's Intel-Voice system, I'm reminded of just how groundbreaking these innovations were at their time. It's amazing to think about what other game designers and developers might have been working on around the same period, but never quite managed to bring to market. Perhaps one day I'll get the chance to try out some of those games for myself.

For now, though, I'm just happy to be exploring the world of this forgotten console. Whether it's B-17 Bomber, Space Spartans, or Intel Avoid Schemes, there's something about the Intellivision that just draws me in. Maybe it's the nostalgia factor, maybe it's the sheer innovation of its gameplay and graphics, but whatever the reason, I'm hooked.

Next on my list is Space Spartans. Now space barton's actually kind of cool for what it was at its time. It's almost like this high-flying fighter coming at you, with you knowing and it's just like any shooter at its time, you're basically crosshairs shooting up targets that are coming at you to give you that 3D aspect.

Of course, no discussion of Space Spartans would be complete without mentioning the infamous "Talk" feature. I've heard rumors about how some games on the Intellivision used voice acting, but I've never actually experienced it myself. The footage from this game suggests that the Intel-Voice system was able to create a truly immersive experience, with characters speaking and interacting with each other in real-time.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everybody and welcome to another episode of the last game hunter I'm your host Paul today we're going to travel back way back to a time that I actually still lived in and that time was the era of the Intellivision that's right today we're going to talk about the Intellivision voice module add-on okay this was supposed to be a ground breaking move I'm about to show you something new foreign television that will revolutionize the way video games are played and compared first here's a popular Atari game now don't look and here's new space partners for the in televised module and then commander Islam based one under attack the battle is over new Intel avoid now that in television talks you can tell the difference with your eyes closed so the television wanted to dominate the market in a different way and that different way was add speech digital speech to your video game now let's face it for the time that would have been like you have been sitting there and I'm here you know b-17 bomber it actually sounds really weird here and they put out this add-on along with a pile of other add-ons but this is the add-on that I have and they only actually produce for games so this unit came out in 1982 82 now just a little background for me in the wonderful world of in television I never grew up with it yes I grew up through it but I was playing Atari colecovision Commodore and so on and of course the Master System when it became available from any acid but the Intellivision eluded me completely my friends didn't even have one I didn't have anybody I know that at least told me they hadn't in television so I never got to play it even today I tried hooking it up a little while ago and I played a few games because they got really heavy into collecting the Intellivision and I'm maybe about 40 48 games away from completing I mean that's pretty big considering I do have a lot of the heavy hitters but I'm missing a lot of the heavy hitters and it's just one of those things that when I see stuff I picked it up and I add it to the collection or whatever but I've never really given it a chance even now I still haven't and one of these days I wouldn't mind you know trying out some of what I would say where the more popular games you know from videos and so on the Intellivision definitely clearly looked like the true winner when it came to graphics gameplay and so on versus the Atari now the ColecoVision was a different ball game this probably competed with a Coleco a lot more one-on-one but in my opinion it's a tough ball and who has a better controllers today we're going to talk about the games that came out on the Intellivision for these tell avoids now it was only four made this unit only made it from 82 to 83 it's only four games one year now you see why pretty much this died but at the same time I think the whole in television the videogame warned someone was kind of going downhill anyway so what games came out well bomb squads so basically bomb squad I don't know just looking at the footage it honestly looks kind of odd it looks like I guess you're you're you're taking something and you're going down and you're trying to disarm this bomb so I get that looking at the graphics of course you're looking at it and I'm looking at it and I'm like but it was cool to hear it talk and do different things no other console did this at the time you had I think Texas Instruments or whatever had a learning system or something at the time and they were doing something like that with speech and learn and fun but no game console was doing it so it was kind of neat breakthrough for that type of thing and I'm gonna give him credit for that absolute credit for that so bomb squad and as I go through this or whatever please comment below if you actually played these games or if you liked them or if you think completely terrible or whatever just let me know because I want to see your comments I want to comment and respond to your comments and again this is new to me I've never played this system yet even though I own it it's the one system it just kind of threw over in the dark corner and next on my list is b-17 bomber or b-17 bomber it sounds terrible yeah pretty bad b-17 bomber basically it looks like you map out with targeting and then you fly and get a hold on your plane and manage your altitude to set whatever and then figure out where you're gonna drop your boy I mean really cool for its time don't get me wrong I think it really was we couldn't play it now I'm what the playability of it would be like now it shouldn't matter no maybe one day I'm gonna do a play or a let's play on just the Intel avoid schemes because it's easy to you know knock out four games and try them out but anyway plus I really want to hear the Intel avoid product so b-17 bomber now of course next on this list is space Spartans now space barton's actually kind of cool for what it was for its time it definitely is it almost looks like this high fighters coming at you you know and it's just like any shooter at its time I mean you're basically the crosshairs shooting up targets that are coming at you to give you that 3d aspect of that type of look but the cool thing they did was they added voice to it now here's where the weird part comes in so here's drawn solar sailer from the footage I've seen and so on and watched a lot of gameplay on it I get the whole Tron universe and what they're doing in the game and so on but I never heard of talk throughout all the game footage I've watched I've never heard of talk but it talks so if you guys have ever played this and you heard it talk please let me know I'm definitely gonna have to try this out because I honestly have not murdered talk all these other games I've heard of talk I've heard talk through a game throughout the game this one sound effects were great I gotta say if anything the Intel 'voice or I don't know if it was the Intel avoids to give it a boost but the Intellivision had great audio for its time the sound processor was pretty amazing yeah here's sound from this game I hear - sound from these games and they do sound pretty crisp they're pretty nice but and this is the more sought-after or more rare game I just just received this off a video game pickup which is great because I had it loose and I had all these box but I did not have this one so now it completes my Intel 'voice collection which is really nice easy to do though for games a short video I just thought it was really cool it was just one of those things I was walking by it a couple times and I knew I had to make a video of some Intellivision stuff and the Intel 'voice you know it is what it is it's really cool for what it is and for its time in 1982 it actually was very groundbreaking let's let's be honest I mean this was pretty solid for its time so I'll give Intellivision a thumbs up on that and maybe one day I'll try them and give you my thoughts but until then guys game overhello everybody and welcome to another episode of the last game hunter I'm your host Paul today we're going to travel back way back to a time that I
