As Intellivision Month draws to a close in episode 231, prepare to be swept off your feet by the enchanting tale of "Beauty & the Beast"! Soak up that Disney Magic!
*checks notes*
Sorry, not the Disney movie. Okay, we cover the times fairy tale from....
*squints at some scribbles in notes*
Sorry again. Actually, we're playing iMagic's 1982 game "Beauty & the Beast" which seems to bear no relation to either of these two. The real question, though: is this game a BEAUTY or a BEAST?!?!?

Intellivision month rolls on in episode 230 like a poker chip off the chest of a gambler who has passed out after a sound thrashing by Lady Luck.
We're playing Mattel's LAS VEGAS POKER & BLACKJACK from 1979. What are the odds that this is a good episode? Well, we're keeping our cards close to our vest. We've managed to bluff our way through 230 episodes so far...

Intellivision Month continues in episode 229 with SPACE BATTLE, Mattel, 1979. In this era of social distancing, "space" is a concept we know well. "Battle" is, unfortunately, something we've seen all too much of.
SO, take a break with some games and stories. This week's original short story is: BAD POETRY CORNER: SPACE BATTLE

Any old episode could give you swords.
Any old episode could give you serpents.
But this week in episode 228, to launch INTELLIVISION MONTH 2020, we're giving you SWORDS AND SERPENTS. I know! How can we afford such generosity?
Does this 1982 iMagic sword and sorcery (and serpent) title win the treasure or deserve to die in a fireball?
