Intellivision Purchases and Deals
IntellivisionDude replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I'd say it's just an empty box. The one interesting thing is that it says "Intellivision Inc." on it. That was (I believe) the name of the company that acquired the rights to the Intellivision from Mattel, and which later became Intv Corp. Those boxes are called master packs; there were six games in each master pack and twelve master packs in a case (72 games per case). The interesting thing about opening NOS master packs for the first time is that, every once in a while, the companies packed the wrong games. I was going through a case of Atari 7800 Ballblazer cartridges once, and found that one master pack had three copies of Touchdown Football in it. Personally, I would have preferred Commando. I should be getting another one of those boxes when i get my Night Stalker games from Venezuela. That's if he sends it. Maybe it's worthless but still kind of cool. Maybe i'll change my mind and hang on to it. -

Is this worth anything? An empty Intellivision box. Is it just a worthless cardboard box? Does it have value? Is it worth less then the most common Intellivision game? One way of thinking about it is. The box holds 6 games. So 1 box is made for every six games sent to a store. I wonder if anybody would have interest in such a thing. I personally don't need it. -
Boy do i remember the Toys R Us days. Remember when my mother would let me pick out some games for Christmas. This is when all the INTV sports games came out. I remember getting Slam Dunk, Slap Shot, Body Slam, Centipede, Mission X, Diner. Etc. I even remember when they sold spare controllers for the Intellivision II. I regretted not picking them up after mine stopped working a few years later. A few years later Toys R Us stopped selling Intellivision stuff. I even remember seeing the INTV III in the display case. Unfortunately all my games were sold. I have bought back almost everything i owned back then. Just got to get Body Slam and Boxing and i'll have all the games back i had as a kid. Boxing is so common and cheap i can get that anytime i want. No hurry. I keep an eye open for Body Slam but it never shows up on Ebay. Even rarer games than Body Slam show up on Ebay more often than Body Slam. The last few months that is. I been looking everyday. But i know even if i do find it, it will be way out of my budget. And now that i'm broke. I have no budget. lol Oops i got off topic. I wish i could relive those Toys R Us days. The feeling from buying those games back then can't be touched. I could go on all day.

Intellivision Purchases and Deals
IntellivisionDude replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Well, I've already got the other two, but Pole Position for $5.98?! I'm jealous! I want Commando -
I really had no clue that places would over price things that much. I guess i'm so used to Ebay and other sites prices. I also did not have the greatest knowledge of what was rare and what was common. My knowledge is very limited. I did the video before i looked everything up online. What made this an unbelievable score for me is, where i live it is rare for me to come across something like this. The Goodwill stores, thrift stores, and even the flea markets almost never have any video game related stuff period. Just not anything in the 30 miles radius. Finding something like this is unreal here. I'm always jealous of seeing people's Goodwill finds and my store is empty lol. Well now i finally got my find. I've had plenty of online finds, just not many finds "in the wild"

Very nice deal. I wish i could find stuff like that on my local craigslist. -
Thanks dude. lol I'm almost in a bad spot. I do have bills coming up that i don't have the money for, but i got some money still coming to me from 2 different people. But the money isn't in my hand yet so it does me no good. What i did was go overboard with tax money and bought almost every retro system i ever wanted. But it's like a drug and i spent too much money and have trouble stopping. Now i've gone past the tax money and into bill money. I will be trying to sell some stuff again. Hopefully not the Atari games i just bought lol. The stuff you seen in the background is both from a different unpacking video of mine and the fact i'm a slob lol. I try my best to be clean and organized but it so hard for me. I wish i could go back to that store today but it's not possible. Yep i'm IntellivisionDude, AtariLeaf. I came up with that name after i signed up here.

Bought a custom Atari 7800/Nes controller from him. Works wonderful. And he shipped it super fast. Top Notch. Thanks

Here is a unique and rare experience you can share with me as i unsealed Scooby Doo's Maze Chase and Mr. Basic Meets Bits 'n Bites. It was a tough decision to unseal them but i want to play them since i just got my ECS.

The Intellivision controllers
IntellivisionDude replied to JacobZu7zu7's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Not sure if this also goes for the Intellivision. But recently i was having problems with a Colecovision Controller and someone said the spring inside can get a little worn and needs to be stretched a little so it is creating enough pressure again. I still have not got around to doing this myself. But i will soon. -
Intellivision ECS Power Supply
IntellivisionDude replied to BassGuitari's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Just in case anybody is wondering, the ECS has to be plugged in (the adapter) to be used as a passthrough. When i unplugged the adapter, it won't read any games. Maybe people already knew that but i thought i'd share. But i have a question. I wonder if you could play those few Coleco games on your Intellivision II by using the ECS as a passthrough? I don't have any Coleco games to test with. It really don't matter since i have an Intellivision I now anyway. But was just curious anyway. -
And don't use Rubberbands As seen here

Where can I get overlays?
IntellivisionDude replied to Catsmasher's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Ebay Gamegavel and Atari2600.com for starters. -
I just hate seeing that. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 120535436548

Out of the hundreds of packages i have recieved in the last few years i'd say USPS is doing a good job. Very few mess ups. Just those games i lost and this package here. Only other time i have had real problems is a few years back when i bought some stuff from Columbia House and the SFBC. Packages either got lost in the mail or they never sent them to begin with. But i eventually got my stuff. Can't say it was the USPS fault for sure that time or not. Sometimes i think i should of got some packages sooner. But i usually get them eventually. I recommend not shipping Parcel Post unless your not in a hurry. I have read that it can take a few days to a month to receive. And make sure you write Fragile on the package and have the USPS stamp them as well. I have seen Postal Employees just toss the packages a few feet into a bin.

Bought some Intellivision games from him and he sent them super fast. Would do business with him again.

Intellivision ECS Power Supply
IntellivisionDude replied to BassGuitari's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
The NES power supply does work with it. Just tested it. Not sure if it is good for the long term or not? I don't currently have any ECS games anyway. I should be getting 2 sealed copies in the mail soon. It will be tempting not to unseal them and play them. lol -

IntellivisionDude replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I just bought a pair of Intellivision II controllers off the same guy yesterday, so i guess it will be a while before i get mine as well. I owned a set of those Joystick add-ons (or ones that look identical) when i was a kid. I thought they were cool but didn't respond well. I also just bought the Stickler ones from Atari2600.com and i didn't like those either. This is the second time in a month i have bought Intellivision stuff off someone from Venezuela. It said 25 business days. It's only been 21 regular days so far. Still waiting. -

I don't own either of those just yet. The only one i have mentioned in this thread is the NES.
