Two of my favorite consoles of all time. If they could do an updated retro console based on the Intellivision II and allow playing Atari 2600 games without buying a separate adapter I would be in heaven.

I have bins of games, but my controllers did not age 40+ years all that well. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I cannot speak to Intelliviaion, but you can get 2600 replacement controllers. If you've still got them it's also likely that you can get someone to repair them if the issue is the electronics.

My Atari joystick still works, it's more my Intellivision controllers. But having a nicer way to play on a modern TV with the original games with higher quality controllers would be amazing.
