The Intellivision shouldn't be on any 'best consoles' list ever. It was so poorly designed that the CPU GPU and RAM needed heat sinks. (Most consoles didn't use heat sinks until the 6th gen.) And here's the kicker. The chips faced downward on the mother board so (you guessed it) the heat just radiated back up after leaving the heat sink and fried the mother board anyways. Oh, and the heat sinks were glued on the chips with a glue gun.
Go Mattel!
Never wasting a weekend trying to fix a Mattel console ever again.
