1. Exactly how many buttons does the Intellivision controller have?

Answer: Sixteen

The Intellivision controller is certainly unique. Back in the early '80s, every company wanted as much buttons as they could fit on a controller.The Intellivision featured sixteen buttons. To know what to press, there would be a sheet of paper that slid in the top of the controller that would show you where to press. These were called "overlays".

2. In the game "Major League Baseball", what does the game say when you are caught out by your opponent?

Answer: "Yer out!"

When you are caught out by the opponent in "Major League Baseball", the game will say "Yer out!" Although... it sounds like a frog saying it! What do you expect when you attempt voices on a system from the '70s...?

3. The Intellivision was the first console to have voices in-game. What was the add-on that allowed this called?

Answer: Intellivoice Voice Synthesis Module

In 1982, the "Intellivoice Voice Synthesis Module" was released for retail sale. The add-on made certain games able to "speak". The add-on was only compatible with four games, sadly: "Space Spartans", "Bomb squad", "B-17 Bomber" and "Tron: Solar Sailer".
