Strangely enough, the Intellivision had a 16 bit CPU that ran even slower...894.886 kHz!

This is kind of cool, but who is going to carry around the cord and these things, and use them as keychains?!?! I'm still waiting for the Atari Flashback that has EVERY Atari 2600 VCS game on it, from every manufacturer of the era. I know it will never happen, but it would be nifty if it did.
