Albert Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Are there any third-party controllers available for the Intellivision II so I don't have to use the stock Intellivision controllers? Or other alternatives (such as an adapter that would allow me to use some other analog controller, like a PSX controller). I'm not terribly fond of the stock Intellivision controllers. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Blasphemy! As far as I know, no, there are no replacements. I'd be keen on finding one too, actually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's at least one third-party controller, don't remember who made it (Quickshot? Wico?) I could be thinking of the ColecoVision instead. Egads, this gives me a headache: http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/intellivusb/index_en.php ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebus Capucinis Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 There was a Wico controller for the ColecoVision but I don't think there were ever any for Intellivisoin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I wish I could remember where I saw it, but someone designed an interface to connect Atari Jaguar controllers to the Intellivision. As I recall, the interface consisted mostly of diodes and 74LS00 chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Al, I don't think so (that's why I eventually got rid of my Intellivision collection). I even had the Super Arcade ones hooked to an Intellivision II and they are marginally better, but they still just took much away from the games for me. I also has a working Wico for Intellivision. The joystick works great, but the firebuttons are worse than the ones for the INTV II. There are some old pages about a Jaguar to INTV mod, but it's something someone that really knows what they are doing would need to attempt (not me).

Albert Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Using a Jaguar controller would be nice, but the main problem is that the Intellivision controllers support 16 unique directions. That's why I was thinking an analog controller would work better. I'm sure such an adapter could be made for the Intellivision II since it has controller jacks. How are the controllers attached internally for other Intellivision systems, primarily the original? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 I never had an Intellivision when growing up and to be honest I've played very few games in the Intellivision library. I do own a large portion of the library now (boxed, even), although not all of the rarest titles. I was just hoping to enjoy them without suffering the controller, but given how many of the games use the keypad, that's probably not going to happen. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My link: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130358769568 Yes, I may have to purchase those. That could make things more tolerable, depending on how comfortable the controllers are to hold while using the joystick. Definitely worth trying, though, I'll pick those up unless someone has a less expensive source. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionDude Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have never had a problem using the disc. I have a hard time using an Atari joystick and prefer the Intellivision disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You can get these! https://www.atari2600.com/item--Sticklers--PROD2575.html I also have a snap on version of a joystick adapter with the big "ball" top for the Intelli controllers, but cannot find a picture on the net anywhere. I will have to dig them up and post a pic for ya. I love them to death. If you find them buy them. You dont have to mod the controllers and they dont slid off like the suction cup ones.
