Overlays for the Super games

[oldjd]

Did the Super series of games come with overlays?Super pro football,Slam dunk basketball,world series baseball?

 

If so were they the same as the regular basketball,football,and baseball?Or were they different?

Inquiring minds need to know

This is a quote from intellivisionlives.com:

 

"All Mattel Electronics, Activision, Atarisoft and Imagic games came with controller overlays; all Coleco, Interphase and Sega games came without them. All original INTV Corporation releases except World Championship Baseball did not come with overlays and, when possible, INTV did away with overlays for their re-releases of Mattel Electronics games."

 

Since the Super Pro series came about later in the console's life, and the fact that the site lists them as INTV Corp, releases, they did not come with controller overlays.

 

One thing to watch is that there are some artistic people who have released their own controller overlays for previously non-overlay games over the past few years. You might try a Google search and see what comes up.

By artistic,you mean the ones selling the "orphan" overlays at 100 or more a pop?
