Is there an intellivision anthology book

I second DZ-s question -- could you clarify what you mean by that?

 

To my knowledge, there's not currently a book exclusively devoted to the history of the Intellivision. Instead, you'll need to look at one of the (many) books that covers a wider range of material and live off the scraps in those. ;)

such a shame, I didn't interact at all with those guys. I'm waiting for intellinerdity to be taught at university.

 

I wonder if they considered Rev for an interesting case study.

 

From Wikipedia:

a case study is a research method involving an up-close (:o), in-depth (:o :o :o), and detailed examination of a subject of study (the case), as well as its related contextual conditions

I was referring to a history book on intelivision.

 

Ah, thanks. Well, I guess that has been answered many times over in this thread already.

 

TL;DR:

  • There isn't one
  • There may be one in the works right now
  • It may or may not be about C-mart and Rev.

:grin:

Keith Robinson published tons of information about the Intellivision on the Intellivision Lives website.

 

I'm sure it could have filled a book if he had gotten around to making one...

Indeed. Wasn't that something he would bring up on occasion? IIRC there was some sort of a campaign to get a book published that he started off.... details escape me.

Yea that info is great. If any one does make a Book I think it should be called Mattel electronics. The book could be about the intellivision and also their other electronic gaming devices like the coleco book did. Edited by jim1174

The book is being written by Tom Boellstorff and Braxton Soderman - both professors at University of California Irvine. I spoke to them at length at PRGE. Some of the information they're using in the book came from Intellivisionaries Podcast interviews I've done. I'll be working with them throughout the project as well.
