Cebus Capucinis Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi everyone! I just got my first Intellivision! Woohoo from me! I bought it untested from Goodwill and traded acousticguitar for some carts (so I can guarantee the carts work!). Awesome! The not so awesome part -- the intellivision loads Demon Attack perfectly with absolutely no problems. I was playing it for a bit and chose to put in Sea Battle. I have Demon Attack and all the (Battle) carts right now. None of these carts will load, to the best of my knowledge. I stick 'em in and the screen turns green, then purple, then turns black and then nothing -- is it loading or something? I couldn't figure it out and might just be too impatient. Sea Battle eventually got to a 'mattel' screen and I pushed the button on the controller, causing the screen to go black. Then it just sat there. Any suggestions? Patience is a virtue here?

Tr3vor Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 mabe dirty connectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm going to try cleaning it out first, that's what I was thinking. The fact that Demon Attack booted perfectly fine makes me think that maybe the cart connector on the system is dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cebus Capucinis Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 Cleaned it out and it works perfectly! Thanks! Armor Battle looks like a lot of fun if I can get a second player tonight! Woohoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) I give EVERYTHING a thorough cleaning,including the port on the console,that eliminates problems 100% of the time,for me anyway,I've been lucky and never found a non working system that some cleaning couldn't help.The various methods used are numerous here at AA,a simple search will get you those.
