===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).

[https://www.zophar.net/news-archive/intvwin-1.1-4234.html IntvWin 1.1] released in 2002.
