I liked Lock and Chase, Nightstalker, and quite a few others. Intellivision is one of the few systems I never got a chance to own.

So sorry this is taking so long 
As I said in a previous post, a new baby arriving, coupled with a recent office move at work have left me with very little time to work on this of late.
If anyone is interested/willing to look at the sourcecode so far, then I will be more than happy to upload it somewhere, but be warned it is still incomplete (some glitches like the up-direction not being registered due to its 0x00 keyvalue, very sloooow, sound almost unusable).
It's put together in C++, the style adopted by the original author is quite nice, but I suspect it will need serious chopping apart to optimize for GP2X - It might just be quicker to start afresh :S
BTW, I do have a couple of other plans afoot too which I'd like to devote some time to as well: Portable Fruit Machine Emulator (not sure if it's possible on the '2X lol) and a replacement front-end. Whilst emulator coding I am familiar with, all of these are something of a learning curve for me in respect of both ARM and '2X development so working on one project can be beneficial to another

... here's hoping someone will pick this up. Best of luck with your new child

Good catch! Have you tried it out yet?

Doesn't work for me yet... but I have hope for improvenments.
I unzipped the file to my SD's /, but when I run the .gp executable, it simply flashes a black screen and crashes.

Do you have a copy of of the exec.bin and grom.bin intellivision roms? These should be placed in the same directory as intvx2.gpe.

Heck, no. Didn't think of that. I'll give that a try. Thanks!
UPDATE:
Yeee Haaawwww! I've got my Intellivision back! Well, I still have my game deck and all of my games, but this way I can take 'em with me! Thanks a bunch!
The emulator is a bit "choppy" but I'm sure will improve in time. I'll keep playing with the settings as see if there's a combination that will make Lock 'n Chase more playable.
Great stuff!

Yeah, I tested it today. It's darn near impossible to select a game. Only got it to work once (made 4-tris crash somehow, and was able to load Burgertime) and it played in monochrome (no colors) and I couldn;t escape out of the emulator from that point on. The sound was very good, but the emulator needs a whole lot of repairing.

So far, the only ROMs I've had trouble with are the Imagic games (Atlantis, Beauty and the Beast, etc.).
When I reset the emulator with these attached, I get a black screen then it crashes... back to the GP2X main menu screen.
Must be something about the Imagic images (?)
