It had a GI CP1610 CPU at 1 MHz. It had 524B of RAM and 932B of graphics RAM.

===Comparisons===
 
* '''Bliss:''' First developed in early 2000's then abandoned. Afterwards, the author, Kyle Davis, tried to code it in C# and add portability but then decided to return to C++ and a simpler codebase. It has good support of Intellivoice and ECS's games but was unfortunately abandoned without much notice in 2006.
 
* '''jzIntv:''' Portable, no-frills Intellivision emulator. Probably the most complete and accurate Intellivision emulation available. Made by Joseph Zbiciak.
 
* '''Nostalgia:''' Pretty much the very best Intellivision emulator currently available (At the time by 2009). Made by Joe Fisher.
 
* '''[[Pantheon]]:''' Popular multi-system emulator for Windows OS covering many old computers and 1970's-1980's consoles. Shown to support Intellivoice games but no ECS games work in this software yet. Made by Boštjan Grandovec.
 
* '''[[MAME]]''' (Formerly part of [[MESS]]): This multi-system emulator is presumed to have good support for the Intellivision and add-ons - ECS and Intellivoice (eg. Keyboard Component).
 
 
'''[http://web.archive.org/web/20090421174628/http://intelliwiki.kylesblog.com:80/index.php/Emulators List of old known Intellivision emulators]'''. [https://www.arcadeathome.com/ivision.phtml?H Downloads of old emulators]. Emulators not included above:
 
* '''IntelliWare:''' Emulator and development kit for Intellivision. Made by Valter Prette.
 
* '''Intellivision Lives:''' Commercial emulator from the current copyrights owners (Blue Sky Rangers) for many of the original Intellivision games.
 
* '''IntvWin/IntvDOS''': Little is known about this one. Made by John Dullea, author of PCAE ([[Atari_2600_emulators|Atari 2600 emulator]]). [https://www.zophar.net/news-archive/intvwin-1.1-4234.html IntvWin 1.1] released in 2002. The author added [http://atariage.com/forums/topic/112788-intvwin-13-posted/ WinXP compatibility] in IntvWin 1.3 in 2007 (File can be found at GameTronik.).
 
* '''jzIntv Launcher''': Complete GUI (Graphical User Interface) frontend and menu utility for the Windows version of Joe Zbiciak's jzIntv Intellivision emulator. Made by Rich Nagel.
