The Intellivision had a 12-13 year lifespan. The test marketing was 1979 (some games carry 1978 copyright dates). The last game by INTV (the successor to Mattel) was 1990. The Atari 2600 was even longer. I have games from Atari from 1976 to 1990. Both are the only three-different-decade systems.

Including Brazilian releases Mega Drive had software released over three different decades too. A game based on a Brazilian game show was released in 2001, and a sequel was released in 2002.

 

Interestingly, I started to think about South America after my post. That market has often been a generation behind, which means you could find some really interesting games there -- and new "official"  stuff coming out long after the new system was out. This trend goes back to the Videopac (Odyssey 2) days with Clay Pigeon. http://www.videopac.org/database/index.php?id=63

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
