The first game I remember my Dad playing was LV Poker & Blackjack -- and that was on a demo unit at Murphy's Mart before I bought the machine. I also remember him playing PBA Bowling as he was an avid bowler.

My worry is that I won't be able to buy everything because I won't hear about something. So far my track record is perfect ... But who knows in the future, (Of course, I still need to find my missing overlays.)

Look forward to this game being available.

Ordered yesterday. Looking forward to it. If anyone has manual or overlay designs, please pass them along,

Email send. Payment will be sent once I receive instructions. Played this many years ago. Look forward to it again.

Last Monday, the high in Morgantown, WV was +56F (13.3c). The low was -4F (-20c). Talk about extremes. Luckily, no damage or issues on my end.

I had a port extender for my Commodore 54 back at that time, Passed on the multiplexer because I thought $25 was too much and was waiting for it to fall to $20. So i never saw the extra info until your post. Nice add. Not sure if it ever existed, though.

Looking forward to learning more.

For those who doubt the collector qualifications of Michael Thomasson: http://www.gooddealgames.com He RUNS "Good Deal Games" -- as in the site which is making available Elektronite games.

Ironically, I had much more problems with non-working CV controllers than Intelly ones over the years, But then again, I am strange and like the INTV II controllers.

This could be early leader for 2014 GOTY. I can't wait until ordering begins.

That looks like how Zaxxon should have looked for Intellivision three decades ago.

Good luck. Hope all goes well -- both with the move and the reopening of Electronite. We don't want to lose any more proposed classic homebrew Intellivision games.

Where is this "overseas"?

After the comments by JasonLikesINTV, now I am wondering if I should PM or not.

Find my missing overlays (for all the 2011 and 2012 homebrews). That's what happens when you put things away. I hate to think that I have to recreate them.

I know you said that tongue-in-cheek. But it is interesting how when the NES started showing up in stores, I felt it was taking away from real game systems like the Intellivision and the Atari 2600 (the 5200 and Colecovision had ceased being active by this time). After all, it had a gun and a robot. It looked like a toy. Now I wish I had that robot -- I could sell it and almost pay my homebrew bill.

The NES was available only at Sears in the Sporting Goods department and sold moderately at best the first Christmas season it was available. I think someone just looked at game lineups and not at what really occurred.

I have interest in a set.

Because the original boxes were like books, so you were more apt to keep them. Then, even when the boxes moved to a more conventional style to see money, people had already started keeping boxes so they continued to do so. There was such an uproar that when INTV went to a no box format, people complained until they produced boxes. That being said, I for some reason, listened to my mother while in college and pitched my Intellivision boxes (as well as my sister's Atari 2600 boxes). So I have no real box attachment -- after all, you can't play a box.

My goal has become to find where I put the overlays from the 2011 and 2012 homebrew purchases. I have the carts and instructions in their holders and the boxes tucked away, but th overlays (and a set of 3D glasses) are not to be found.

I like my local Arby's. But as with any place, there is high variability depending upon location.

I would be willing to help write such a manual.

Spring 1982. Senior year of high school. 18 years old. Bought it at the PX of the Yorktown US Coast Guard Reserve Training Center (my father was retired Air Force) for $235 -- plus no sales tax at military exchanges. Still have the unit.

That price is worse than USCF Chess. At least there are multiple games on it. 8*>
