Grid Shock

Grid Shock is a fascinating, unreleased arcade puzzle game developed by Mattel Electronics and Intellivision Productions.

Though it never saw the light of day in cartridge form, this intriguing title lives on through the Intellivision Lives CD-ROM, offering players a glimpse into a piece of gaming history.

The gameplay of Grid Shock challenges players to strategically carom their shots off a moving wall, aiming to complete patterns on the back grid. Its blend of action and puzzle-solving elements was designed to captivate players, making it stand out in the early arcade scene.

Although Grid Shock was used by Mattel to demonstrate the power of the Intellivision III system at trade shows, it was never intended as an exclusive Intellivision III title. In fact, despite these demonstrations, no actual Intellivision III prototypes were ever shown, adding an extra layer of mystery to the game's legacy. Nevertheless, Grid Shock remains a notable example of the innovations from the early 1980s gaming industry.

Now available to modern audiences through the Intellivision Lives CD-ROM, players can experience the unique gameplay and appreciate a game that was once poised to showcase the next generation of gaming technology.

Key Features:

Arcade Puzzle Gameplay: Bounce shots off moving walls to complete intricate grid patterns, offering a blend of action and puzzle mechanics.

Historic Legacy: Originally demonstrated to showcase the Intellivision III at trade shows, though it was never part of the final system lineup.

Unreleased Title: Grid Shock was never released in cartridge form, making it a rare gem in the Intellivision catalog.

Available on Intellivision Lives CD-ROM: Relive this iconic game and explore a forgotten part of Mattel’s arcade history.

For retro gaming enthusiasts and history buffs, Grid Shock represents a unique piece of early gaming lore—an innovative puzzle game that remains an integral part of the Intellivision legacy, even if it never hit store shelves.
