Demonstration Cartridge: Blue

Designed to entice you into getting an Intellivision, the 1978 Demonstration Cartridge runs through a loop to nab you with Intellivision's superior graphics, sound, and sophistication. This demo also touts the originally announced Keyboard Component. The 1979 revision of the demonstration cartridge removed that reference.

The demonstration ran through four screens of text, followed by scripted snippets of NFL Football, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack, and Armor Battle. It seems odd that they didn't have their 'killer app' - Major League Baseball - in on this demo. During the text, Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra plays in the background in glorious three-part harmony. (Actually, it's rather plain. Later classical adaptations, such as the music in Thunder Castle, are vastly superior.)
