After two straight weeks of Venture on Friday Plays, I thought I had a pretty good handle on how this arcade classic translated to home consoles. ColecoVision gave us the more faithful arcade-style version, and Atari 2600 showed how much of the idea could survive on much simpler hardware.

But after those episodes, the comments kept coming in: “You need to try Venture on Intellivision.”

So this week, the Summer of Venture continues with the Intellivision port — a version that may not be the most arcade-accurate, but might just be the one I had the most fun playing.
