Humblejack Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 How well do you know your Intellivision? This is a question that is based on my knowledge of Intellivision. I have only come across one but here may be another that I am not aware of. All of the copies I know of are the same so they came from the factory this way. It does not fold out like most of the INTV Inc version, nor does it flip up. Jason and Steve, I know you know so no fair helping. What it the only book style instruction manual that has no staples in the spine? It is glued instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The one that came directly to my mind has a spiral binder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 that was also my first thought, then I read "it is glued instead" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I didn't know until Hank pointed it out. I checked mine and it was the same (glued). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have a guess that I'll PM, so I won't spoil it if I'm right. I'll admit right bow that I didn't know the answer beforehand, but did some looking around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Football Playbooks. I did not look it up. I have just dealt with them before missing pages and coming apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Football Playbooks. I did not look it up. I have just dealt with them before missing pages and coming apart. No not the playbooks, I consider them an accordion style and there is no glue on them (unless you glue them back together yourself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Not many guesses so I guess a hint is in order. It is one of the lesser known variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 We should turn this into a 20 questions Is this from a gatefold or a non-gatefold boxed game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Well you bunch of sad-sacks, not much interest in the question, only 3 attempts so if you want the answer contact JasonlikesINTV.

+intellivotion Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I forgot about the mystery "glued instead" thing. Is it the manual of a sport network game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Is it a US release, or a release for another country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 It's a gatefold Hong Kong release of an Action Network game, but it's a variant that's already kinda unique for reasons other than the glued manual. The glued manual was discovered later and makes it that much more unique. Also, don't bother looking through your collection cause you probably don't own it... Actually you might own it, but never realized that it was unique....I mean, you would if you saw my post about it back in 2014... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 ...so like, you can probably figure it out if you stalk my 2014 post history tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Is it a Space Armada manual in red box? I mean, it's gatefold box, it's action network, it's Hong Kong, it's "a variant that's already kinda unique"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Is it a Space Armada manual in red box? I mean, it's gatefold box, it's action network, it's Hong Kong, it's "a variant that's already kinda unique"... Good guess, but no (unless you happen to find another game with a glued manual). Another clue: While it is an Action Network game in a red box, it's not the same color red as the typical Mattel Action Network boxes.

boxpressed Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Space Battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Good guesses, but nope. Definitely a red box, but a little darker than normal Action Network. Somewhere between Action Network and Arcade Network, but red nonetheless. Another clue: There is an M Network version of this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So, is it the Lock'n'Chase made in HK? It has actually a slightly darker box I think I have two or three of that but didn't notice anything strange with its manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intellivotion Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got it. It's the Sears Night Stalker made in Hong Kong I have to check the copy I have when I'm home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
