The Intellivision was released in 1980 as competition to the Atari 2600. It featured a 16-bit microprocessor running at 0.9 MHz, a unique memory architecture which used 10-bit memory words, and could display eight solid-color moving sprites at once on top of a static background.

Each Intellivision for Mac Volume supports three of the Intellivision's games.
If you are interested in getting all the Intellivision games on one CD-ROM, you can visit the Intellivision Lives web site; they offer 75 fully emulated Intellivision games for $29.

| Bliss 1.6.1 for OS X. |
Bliss is an Intellivision emulator, written entirely in Java. This simple port cleans up a few things, making it OS X friendlier with a full application wrapper. Note that this is not the most-current code available for Bliss, but this is rather fast, and the interface works beautifully under OS X, whereas the new one is somewhat lacking in appeal and function. This will work with Mac OS X 10.1.x and later.

| jzIntv, Release 010a. |
| jzIntv 0.10a for OS X 10.2+. |
jzIntv is an open-source Intellivision emulator. Currently graphics emulation is only partially complete; however, this is definitely a promising emulator, and is quite a bit faster than Bliss.
