scalpel Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi, Just would like to know how many T-card INT'L DEMO exist ? Do you have one in your collection ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Never seen that before. Is this yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Yes, I bought it yesterday. The seller said he don't know another one in the world... But I read somewhere one other was found in 2002, so I think someone has another one. Is it true or maybe, the one I bought was the one found in 2002... ? I didn't test it yet 'cause I'm in Paris and my Intellivision are in Avignon (South of France) Edited June 14, 2013 by scalpel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Very nice! I would say this a rare find within the rare finds! Does the demo cart has the same content as the usual cart or is it extended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the demo cart has the same content as the usual cart or is it extended? The seller told me it's 6 demo games. So, it's different. I will take picture (or video) as I can.

Intymike Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 On the standard cart are 4 games with self running demos and 6 games with only the title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpel Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Tempest (sorry if I don't have to name it...) said in 2002 in other very known forum this : T-Cards are VERY rare (yes rarer than NES protos). I've only seen maybe 10, and they were all in the hands of long time Intellivision collectors. The last one I saw was on Ebay (the only time I've seen one on Ebay mind you), and it went for $600+. This T-card contains 6 EPROM's. There are also some DIP-switches, probably to configure the memory mapping and address decoding circuitry.

Tempest Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Normally T-Carts are used for prototypes. I've never seen a T-Cart used for a demo cart. It could be a prototype of the demo cart. That's not out of the realm of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpel Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have had more information about this INT'L DEMO (I didn't test it yet, I don't have any Intellivision with me). It seems to be a prototype to create the Demo Carts made for the retailers. So, this one seems to be really unique... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) From the Sean Kelly's collection. There are 2 ? they are some other prototypes. yours is the first int'l demo prototype i have ever seen. voltron and y-bot might have some too as they have several protos. and there was a person selling like 6 tcards at some point in time last year i believe.
