Intellivision holds a unique place in gaming history, launching the original Intellivision console back in 1979 as a direct competitor to Atari. Retro gaming fans can relive their childhood with the launch of the new Atari Intellivision Sprint, a modernized upgrade that retains the authentic look and feel of its forebearer.

Following Atari’s acquisition of the Intellivision brand rights in 2024, a retro-style console was perhaps inevitable, and the Atari Intellivision Sprint delivers on expectations. Its classic casing instantly recalls the early years of video gaming, but it’s been modernized with a new internal system, wireless controllers, and HDMI connectivity.

Hook up the Atari Intellivision Sprint to a television and there’s an impressive 45 games to choose from once the console has launched. Some of the built-in games have earned a firm fixture in gaming history, with Boulder Dash, Armor Battle, and Night Stalker among the many highlights.

For fans of classic sports, the Atari Intellivision Sprint offers a wide range of software to satisfy that itch, including Soccer, Tennis, Motocross racing, and Slam Dunk: Super Pro Basketball. It’s a rich repository that captures the genre spectrum of classic retro gaming, all housed on a single platform.

Rechargeable wireless controllers address the common pain point of older consoles with a simple docking system for easy storage and recharging. With its perfect blend of retro charm and games catering to all tastes, the Atari Intellivision Sprint is a must for fans of classic video games from the past.
