    I’m still making them. 😀 I’ll send you a PM with instructions. 

    Can you please send me instructions as well? I still have a Ballblazer I was saving for something like this.

    The white Intellivoice -- while displayed in some dealer catalogs and on the back of the ECS box -- was never produced.

    Any picture you see of such a beast was simply a wood mockup made to match the Intellivision II styling. By the time the ESC and Intellivision II came out, support for the Intellivoice was waning and it was eventually discontinued. WSMLB was the last game produced that supported the Intellivoice.

     

    Like others have said, a lot of homebrews support Intellivoice if it is attached (though I find, with a lot these, the voice is pretty robotic). Some games even support the additional sound channels provided by the ESC, if it is attached. Space Patrol is one such title.

    It's also a bonus that your ESC has the Step-by-Step guide. Back in the day, that one did not come packed with the ESC. You received it as a bonus for sending in the warranty card for the module. 

    As for the printer, you can use any of the ones for the Mattel Aquarius computer with the ECS. There's a thermal printer available (most common) and a 4-color plotter, which is extremely rare.

    You basically need this to hook up the ECS to an old mono cassette player/recorder:

    3.5mm mono cables

     

    Since the above is a 2-pack, you'd use one of the cables to go from the Mic jack on the recorder to the same on the ESC and similaryly with the EAR port on both.

    If you can find one of the old-school type red/white cassette recorder cables (where the two cables are fused as one cable), that will work too. However, I couldn't find a current replacement in my usual go-to places.

    People who create original works can make a statement of copyright to protect those works and add the copyright symbol to indicate that. The works don't need to be registered with the copyright office in order to claim the copyright, though it is desirable to do so if you plan on mass producing your work. Homebrews generally don't fit the later.
