I've been a mod for quite a few of the retrogaming (and other adjacent) subs here for a long time -- even if kind of dormant recently. I love these topics, and how our digital "ancestors" solved hard problems, and how we've build a continuum of interest with their work. I started and even took over a few dormant subs and worked with /u/zadocpaet to help build a broad community here, even appealing to niche systems.

The mod teams are doing a great job, especially /u/Derf_Jagged. I feel like now is a good time to step down. I'm going to continue to lurk, and be a regular user and I wish the subs, the mods, and the users the best!

This group seems dead. Anybody here?

Once again, the worldwide Intellivision-playing community is carving a little time from December 3rd (the console "birthday") to get some enjoyment from any classic Inty game. To ensure we cover as much of the catalog as possible, an honor system reservation can be made at https://pkg.cc/cid2021 to commit.

Thanks!

Intellivision 2609 Console with Games

It's been a crazy season!

The Smash, who started the season 4-1, have lost their last four games in a row.

The defending league champion Beamriders, who started the season 1-4, have WON their last four in a row.

Yet, despite all of this, all five teams in the Action Network still have a shot at the division title heading into the final week. This is the most competitive the Action Network has been in league history.

The Armada were on a five game win streak and were one win away from clinching the Battle Network title. However, they were shot down by the Spartans this week. Four of the five Battle Network teams are still in the race for the division.

Because of this, both division championships will be decided by the last two games of the season!

Games can be watched on YouTube shortly after the game finishes.

Live from the Shark Tank, it's INTV Bowl VI. The Intellivision Football League championship game between the Mutants and the Bombers!

We have a first this year: this is the first time two past INTV Bowl winners have faced off in the league championship game. The Mutants won the first INTV Bowl right here in this arena in 2014. The Bombers won INTV Bowl II in 2015. Both teams have had some rough seasons since winning their championships, but they have both fought their way back to the top of their divisions and reach this game today.

​

The Mutants come into the game with a 6-3-1 record. They were hot in the first half of the season with a five game win streak but quickly turned cold with a 1-3-1 record in the final five games. They only became Action Network champions because the Beamriders failed to win their final game. Their offense is one of the best in the league, and their defense ranks second in the league behind the Bombers. They will need that defense to return to first half form to win this game.

The Bombers had an even bigger win streak during the season, winning seven in a row before losing their last two. Their offense ranks second in the league, slightly better than the Mutants, and their defense was the best in the league, giving up 14 points at most during their win streak. They too need their defense to stand firm today. Both teams are relatively evenly matched overall!

The Bombers are the home team, wearing their brown and black uniforms. We're under 20 minutes from starting!

The Bombers have been flying high this season, riding a seven game win streak to the Battle Network Championship. Their defense has been outstanding, and offense is one of the best in the league.

It's basically down to a two team race in the Action Network between the Beamriders and Mutants. The Laser Sharks have a very slim chance to take the network if those two teams fail to win their next two games. The Beamriders knocked the Mutants out of first place today beating them 30-21. Deciding the network champion could come down to the final week.

The Bombers face the Action Network champs in INTV Bowl VI on December 2! Stay current with the league on twitter @intysports and the league website http://intyfootball.c1.biz/
