PRODUCTION HISTORY

Essentially an Intellivision version of the war/strategy board game Risk, Takeover was well-liked among the programmers. Unfortunately, the game used the same colored-squares graphics mode used by Snafu, limiting the screen graphics to colored blocks, plus the eight moving objects. Marketing felt that while the game was good, it looked too boring to be a successful seller. The game was never released by Mattel.
