The Mattel Intellivision is a console from the second generation of video game consoles, initially released to a limited test market in 1979 and receiving a nationwide release in 1980. Based off a chipset from General Instruments, the Intellivision was the first game console to feature a 16-bit CPU and its games generally featured more sophisticated gameplay than those of its competitors. To this end, Mattel engaged in an aggressive marketing campaign starring sports journalist George Plimpton, which pitted the Intellivision directly against the [[Atari_2600:Atari_2600_Mods_Wiki|Atari 2600]]. The console sold fairly well during the early 1980s, enough to the point where Mattel introduced a smaller, cost-reduced system (the Intellivision II) in 1983. Although Mattel ultimately exited the video game market in the aftermath of the 1983 crash, a company known as INTV Corporation acquired the rights to the Intellivision and began selling games and consoles until 1990. The original Intellivision currently enjoys a small but dedicated following, with a steady stream of homebrew titles coming out every year.


The Fujitsu FM Towns Marty is a console from the fifth generation of video game consoles. Based on the software library of the [[FM_Towns:FM_Towns_Mods_Wiki|FM Towns PC]], the console was launched in Japan on February 20, 1993 and never saw a global release. A variant — the FM Towns Car Marty — was designed to be installed in an automobile and included a built in navigation system with audio and video guidance, and could also be detached from the car and played at home. Marty is more of a computer rather than a console and sported several excellent arcade ports as well as IBM DOS ports. Marty is unique compared to FM Towns computer as it has 'pad-to-mouse' emulation in the BIOS reducing the need for owning a mouse. Some games however aren't compatible with 'pad-to-mouse' emulation and require the original mouse. Marty unfortunately has S-video and Composite as the only available video output.
