Intellivision predates the Game & Watch by two years.
I guess that's true if you're a retard. I, on the other hand, was handing the Intellivision controller like a master before I could even read. So much for that argument.
The cross-designed D-Pad is certainly a design improvement, but it is neither an innovation, nor does it make the Intellivision a failure. The machine never beat the world, but it lasted eleven years, longer than the SNES, N64, and GameCube.
This is an argument I already won months ago, so it doesn't matter.
Quote:This cost effective design also made controlling games much easier as the directions were clearly laid out, making it more accessible for the player. The Intellivision disk was not marked in any way, had no clear orientation and was a bad design that was essentially an atari control stick without the stick.

Quote:The d-pad is vastly superior and an innovation over Intellivisions failed design. There's a reason why no one went back to the Intellivision design.
