Lol. It looks like it was likely available in French speaking parts of Canada. Nice find.

And in French, no less. Are you certain this isn't the France equivalent to Games Magazine, which used to have a few pages about video games each month back in the 1980s?

Cool, thanks for sharing that..

I like this sentence on page seven. "L'adjonction d'un module doté d'un clavier de 60 touches équipé d'un microprocesseur de contrôle est actuellement en marché-test aux Etats-Unis, son succès semble assuré, il devrait être introduit en France en 1983." They are talking about the keyboard component and how its success seems assured.

 

One odd thing is that its from October 1981 and they are already talking about cartridges (not one) that have sold over a million copies. They also talk about Mattel having women's research groups to come up with games for females, I wonder which games they came up with.

It's a wierd article.. My french is a bit rusty but it seems like it's a general leisure magazine that usually focuses on non video based games like board games and card games?

 

Apparently the intellivision are the games of the future, and the new giant of the electronics industry

 

that little note about josh denham says he is creating research groups made up of women with the goal of designing and programming video games targeted at women (/girls).

 

the title says

Games and Tests

the magazine of games of reflection.

I don't think so, it's not common for this magazine to talk about video games so, it's interesting to see a non video game magazine talks about our Intellivision
