I Miscounted My Collection (Funny Story)

[IntellivisionDude]

First i just wanted to make sure how many games i needed for my collection (i already had a list) and subtract it from the official 125 list, then count my loose carts to make sure everything added up. That's when things got funny.

 

My wanted list said 33, so i subtracted that from 125 and got 92.

 

Then i counted my loose carts and counted 89. Oops

 

Then i did a long search to make sure 125 was official, it was. So i found a nice list at http://www.intellivisionworld.com/English/Software/List.asp, there are plenty of lists but this one is nice.

 

First i checked my wanted list to make sure i didn't leave anything off. It all checked out ok.

 

 

Then the long process of finding out what was missing. Before i started going through every cart i noticed i couldn't find Space Hawk. Looked through all my carts and boxes, (so i thought). so i declared i didn't have it and put it on my want list. Now were down to 34 wanted and 88 owned. Not going so good. Then i also remembered my copy of Math Fun is dead and it was already on my wanted list. So i had to take that off. Now it's 34, 87.

 

Found out Auto Racing was in the box and not with the loose carts 34, 88

 

Same with Baseball, in the box 34, 89

 

Oops i realized i was counting both copies of Mind Strike 34, 88

 

Then comes Sea Battle and Space Battle, and Tron Maze a Tron, also in the boxes. 34, 91

 

And then i was looking at my last remaining carts and there was Space Hawk. I was looking for a red label game and mine was a white label. Doh

 

So finally i have 92 owned, 33 wanted. I was right all along.

Unfortunately I think you've just created the rarest 33 games for the INTV list (if you swap Body Slam for Math Fun which I'm pretty sure we can come up with for you ) (hmmm, upon further reflection you do have a number of rarer top 40 games in that you have Diner, Dracula, Hover Force, Jetsons, Kool Aid Man, Pac man, Safecracker, Slam Dunk, Slap Shot, Thunder Castle and Turbo, so not as big as mountain to climb as I thought)

 

When's that next tax refund coming?

[IntellivisionDude]

I think i'll keep Body Slam. Not sure i'd have as much fun with math. It just doesn't add up.

 

 

Not to be a pessimist, but there's a good chance most of my income tax check will be used on bills that i'm late on. This year has not been good financially for me, and i don't see next year getting better. But knowing me, that won't stop me from spending money on games even if i'm a month behind on bills. lol

RGW, I didn't mean TRADING Body Slam for Math Fun, I just meant swapping it on the list, not literally swapping it!!!

Whatever you do, don't give up that Body Slam!! Hmmm, unless someone offers you a CIB Spiker in which case you should take it.

I traded someone on Youtube for that Turbo. I don't think the guy had a clue what it was worth. He sent me Turbo and Frogs & Flies, and i think i sent him Metroid for the Nes.

if you take the rarity out of the deal and go by playability only. he got the better deal.
