Traded down to the minor leagues: INTV / World Championship Baseball | NES Works Gaiden 72
Youtube Video Description:
Oh dear! It looks like the time has arrived for me to begin mixing some additional material into the NES Works/NES Era chronology. Yes, it's a brief sidebar on the Intellivision's short but actually pretty interesting post-Crash existence. If nothing else, the INTV days of Intellivision make for a crisp contrast to the Atari Corp. age of Atari—driven by a very different guiding principle and business strategy that kept an aging chunk of hardware alive well beyond the point that most people stopped caring about it, and which has given the Intellivision a meaningful place in video game history (in part by recording history).
You can learn more about the Intellivision's history during the INTV days by preordering The NES Era Vol. II: NES and the Console Revolution, a comprehensive photographic atlas of every console game released for NES and its competitors—including the 7800—from October 1985 through December 1987. Take a deep dive into the prehistory of NES with this limited-edition oversized (12x12"!) photo book: https://limitedrungames.com/products/the-nes-era-vol-2-hardcover
