Wow, I heard about this 4-5 years ago, and had assumed it would never make it out.

Seems like the perfect fit for the control scheme.

I was thinking about digging my Intellevision out the other day. This makes me want to even more.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off-topic, but I happen to be in LV this weekend so I decided to stop by the Expo. I spent about 20 minutes wandering around. I didn't see anything about Intellivision Lives, but I saw lots of great old systems and a bunch of new cartridges people had programmed for older systems (primarily the 2600). My favorite was Halo 2600, which is also playable online.

Yes and then

Right.

I really thought this was long dead without a publisher. It'll likely kill Game Room for me.

This game is finally showing up as being in stock at both amazon.com and buy.com - although it looks like it's actually being sold by some store called Beach Audio. I've never bought from them, but it's only $15 so I placed my order.
