===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/driversmattel/intv.cpp some mechanical things still not implemented].
* '''Nostalgia:''' Pretty much the very best Intellivision emulator 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.
