* '''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. Code on [https://github.com/jeremiah-sypult/BlissEmu GitHub].

}}The '''[[gametech:Intellivision|Intellivision]]''' was a games console produced by [[wikipedia:Mattel|Mattel]] in 1979 and was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|299.99|1979}}. It had a GI CP1610 CPU at 1 MHz. It had 524B of RAM and 932B of graphics RAM. It was notably more powerful than the [[Atari 2600 emulators|Atari 2600]], which was released at a similar time, and could be used with a voice synthesizer unit known as the [[wikipedia:Intellivoice|Intellivoice]], which allowed speech in its games.

===Comparisons===
* '''jzIntv:''' Portable, no-frills Intellivision emulator. Probably the most complete and accurate Intellivision emulation available. Made by Joseph Zbiciak.
* '''[[MAME]]''' (Formerly part of [[MESS]]): This multi-system emulator is presumed to have good support for the all released Intellivision models and add-ons - ECS and Intellivoice (eg. Keyboard Component); [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/intv.cpp some mechanical things still not implemented].
* '''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.

During its lifetime, several models of the base system were released, as well as some interesting peripherals including a full computer adaptor, music keyboard, Intellivoice speech synthesis module, system changer to play Atari VCS games and PlayCable (an accessory to download games from your cable provider).
