Just be glad Mattel isn't making computers.  The way they did video on
the Intellivision ( I wish I could remember how to spell that... ) makes
everything anyone else has done look reasonable.

You haven't suffered unless you have worked on a video game on a GI 1600
cpu, using a GI STIC video chip...

The only thing worse was some of the proposals for the Intellivision 3.
