    Those are indeed Brazilian clones. Theyre somewhere in the middle of the rarity scale, not particulary rare. They also dont seem to be very sough after. You frequently one or two on bigger lots.

     

    Those generic-label brands like this one and so many more (VGS, Rentacom, JVP, Argevision... too many to list) are kind of frustrating to collect. They all look the same and virtually no one knows wich games were released so you end up on an endless wild goose chase.

    Hello Mr. Kitchen. Welcome to our little madhouse. :-)

     

    Once again, I wanted to thank everyone for your accolades, support and comments.

     

    I actually have a question for all of you that I would love your opinion on:

     

    I'm thinking of starting a Kickstarter campaign for Keystone II (and potentially my other 2600 games to follow) to pre-sell the game and raise the funds for the game's manufacturing. I'm thinking about offering different pledge rewards that include:

     

    - Receiving only the cartridge

    - Receiving the cartridge with a box and full color manual

    - Receiving a limited edition signed copy of the cartridge

    - Receiving a full size poster with the boxed game

    - Participating with me in the design of the game by designing an enemy character that I'll program into the game

    - Securing an invitation to the game's launch event (date & location TBD)

     

    As retro game players, collectors, historians and experts, I'd love to know what you think about a Keystone II Kickstarter Campaign.

     

    Thank you in advance for your valuable feedback!

     

    Dan K.

     

    This is indeed a great idea.

     

    One thing you might already have discovered is that today there´s a lot of different kind of buyers of atari games. Some people would happily just pick a cart for playing; some would care for a cart & manual; some would love a complete copy and some other would go for extras. You can see this on AtariAge and even take a look of what the typical prices are.

     

    Those sound like a great list of pledge levels. As some pointed out maybe a cart + color manual might be a good deal.

     

    I´d love to have a signed, limited (numbered) edition. Maybe 100 or 200 or those might be easy to sell. Those can be the "limited collector´s edition", with an added poster perharps?

     

    Anyway, love to hear about it & really glad you joined us. Can´t wait for the finished game!

    No idea, and I'd love to know where you sourced that number of 10 from, if anywhere. It sounds familiar to me. It could be some bit of assumed collector lore that nobody has thought to track down the origin of yet. I might put a poll up in this section asking if anyone owns one- that might at least provide a lower-end amount of known copies.

     

    Ouch. Really don´t remember, I wrote an article for a magazine last year (Brazilian portuguese) about R10 games and did a lot of research around. Somehow I got this number on my head.

     

    I´ll try to double check it later.

    Hello,

     

    I´ve just plugged a RCA Studio II and got the following image - a pile of junk pixels. Putting a cart makes no difference.

     

    http://www.lazzeri.online/pub/IMG_3323.JPG

     

    I´ve tried the same setup (switchbox + power brick + TV) with another RCA and it worked as it should be. So the problem is on the RCA unit itself.

     

    I know NOTHING about electronics but I do know a skilled technician who said he might help. But he said he need to study it first.

     

    In my ignorance it seems like bad memory chips. What do you guys think? Anyone knows where to start from?

     

    Thank you!

    Hello,

     

    My Vectrex is currently showing images "too low" on the video. They start too low and seems to "crumble" and "pile" on the lower portion of the screen.

     

    Is this an easy fix? Like, moving a trimpot or something like that?

     

    Unfortunately I am a failure at electronics; if that needs disassemble and maintenance I might consider sending it to someone who can handle it.

     

    Please see attached screens. Help appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    What about variations, are you doing those?

    Sears, Digiplay, Mattel French-Canadian, CBS, Imagic International, Bandai, etc etc

    Plus all sorts of Mattel variations...

    Way more than 125, more like 500 or so

    Not to mention new releases

    Probably not. I was planning to list the original 125 + repacks (like Sears). Should stick with USA / NTSC releases.

     

    Variations only matters for a smaller percentage of users. Thats not what Ive planned, I dont even know it enough.

     

    New releases are impossible: It would mean a new spreadsheet version every time someone releases a game - and users having to fill everything from scratch every single time. :D

    So here´s the first draft of the spreadsheet: http://www.lazzeri.online/pub/Checklist_Intellivision_v1.xlsx

     

    Halfway trough, "only" missing the Mattel games now. :-D

     

    Please take a look. I´ll hide all the control tags ("TRUE" / "FALSE") later. Also I´ll remove the "Overlay" field on the games that don´t have it packed in.

     

    About original Intellivision games: Should I keep a single list, or group them by series?

     

    Any suggestions? Now´s the time. :-)

     

    Thank you!

    Hello,

     

    I´ve created an Excel spreadsheet some time ago to organize my Atari 2600 collection (thread can be found here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/280064-atari-2600-games-checklist-excel-file/ )

     

    So I was planning to do the same thing for the Intellivision. Do you guys find it an useful thing? Or I´m just wasting my time? :-D

     

    Here´s what it would eventually do when ready: Games are divided by companies to make it easier for the completionists out there. You can mark if you have a game, manual, box and overlays. Also you can add assorted comments and all extra materials you game have (catalogs, registration and such). If you check a cart it will became light green; If mark a game as complete (cart + box + manual + overlays) it will turn dark green. See pic below.

     

    I´ve also planned to divide games into two distinct categories (when applies): "Original 125 games" and "Repacks".

     

    Please let me know what you guys think. Thank you!

    I´ve just checked, I´ve got 91 boxed homebrews for the MSX. Holy shit.

     

    (They are pictured here: http://www.lazzeri.online/vg/MSX/MSX_OTHER.html )

     

    Also 22 for Odyssey2 and 23 for Vectrex (4 more coming for Vectrex, five more for Odyssey2). Oh! And one for the Channel F! :-D

     

    Unfortunately for Atari I´m just scratching the surface. Currently I got:

     

    AtariAge:

     

    - Blinky Goes Up

    - Cave In

    - Draconian

    - Halo 2600

    - Panky the Panda

    - Space Rocks

    - Super Cobra

     

    Assorted:

     

    - A New Marauder

    - Conjoned (Kickstarter "deluxe" edition)

    - Thrust Plus Professional Combat Pack

     

    I´m planning buying a few homebrews from AtariAge each month, specially boxed games.
