INTV Corporation took over the manufacture of the Intellivision system and its games after Mattel abandoned the console market.
INTV Corp. was formed in 1984 when a group of investors led by former Mattel marketing executive Terry Valeski bought the rights to the Intellivision name and started selling Mattel's remaining video game inventory, primarily by mail-order. Sales were strong enough that when the old stock of Intellivision II consoles ran out, INTV introduced a new version called the INTV III. They also contracted Quicksilver Software and Realtime Associates to have former Mattel programmers complete unreleased Intellivision games, and even produce new ones.
