+nurmix Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Enjoyed this episode very much! Remember hoping for a game looking like the screenshot in this German catalogue from August 1983... Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! And that is some cool looking concept art! Sent from my Intellivision ECS using Intelli-Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Oh, not to rain on George's parade, but the Intelivision was NOT the first console to have a pause function -- it was the Channel F! "The Channel F was also the first videogame console to utilize a pause function, via the "Hold" button on the console that would freeze the game (or even speed it up)."

+Rick Reynolds Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Totally -- I dug how they made Rick's "dramatic reading" sound like an off-the-cuff joke, until he actually began to read the story! (You're a good narrator, Rick!) Thanks much Chris++! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George never claimed Intellivision was the first, just that it was done long before the 5200 even existed. He has no beef with the Channel F.

Special Teams Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. "Who's the sharpest shot now?" Nicely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We specifically didn't play up the "extra" episode on forums or Facebook just to see if anyone would say anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
