i can't really say since i've never owned or played an arcadia game, but i would still have to say INTV in a big way. the system had a much, much longer run than arcadia, and had some great games, including:
utopia
football
baseball
AD&D games
burgertime
locomotion
happy trails
snafu
swords and serpents
thunder castle
tower of doom
bump and jump
and etc.
it's really no contest. but not a very fair comparison, since arcadia was basically dead on arrival and got no 3rd party support.

Comparing Emerson to Mattel is like comparing pizza flavored potato chips to a super deluxe stuffed crust PIZZA HUT pizza.
The Emerson graphics are actually similiar to the Vic-20 computer. Not bad, but INTV has games with SUPERGRAPHICS like BURGERTIME and MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE.
The Arcadia was a cheaply made machine meant to compete as a loss leader; the system cost $99 and games were $14.99. Compare this to the original Intellivision which sold for $400 and was a true 16 bit system. And compare INTV Demon Attack to any phoienex type game on Arcadia. And compare MICROSURGEON to ANY game on Arcadia. The Arcadia is not terrible, but it cannot compete with INTV.
