  1. To complete the Gaming and Strategy series and finally, finally get Space Patrol. Lost out one yet another one this afternoon...grrrr.
  2. I am using a 1-port Motorola Signal Booster. The Intellivision works on my TV without the booster but the picture isn't always the greatest. With the booster, the picture is spot-on (at least for me). I haven't tried it with ESC or Intellivoice connected yet, however. If I had the room, I'd consider going down to my local Goodwill and buying an old tube TV for $1 and using that.
  3. For those looking for the Aquarius or a printer for said computer, there are a couple of good deals on eBay at present with no bids on either: Mattel Aquarius Computer Set: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 290841972223 New in the box Old Stock Mattel Aquarius Printer: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 271133131907
  4. Steve, Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not in a big hurry to acquire it so I'll keep looking. Unfortunately, most of the ones currently on eBay are cart-only or cart/badly damaged box-only.
  5. I saw this auction eBay Auction -- Item Number: 380469949170 while browsing for a boxed USCF Chess. Has anyone seen this version before and, if so, would it include instructions in English? Thanks!
  6. I am looking for a complete in box (with manual and overlays) USCF Chess for Intellivision that is in good/like new condition. Please send me a message if you have one available that you are trying to part with. Thanks!
  7. I'm trying to find a box and manual in decent condition for Hover Force. It seems all that's been available on eBay as of later are loose carts. If you can help out, please mail me. Thanks!
  8. I'm using the RCA cable that came with the Intellivision II and one of the RCA to coax adapters to connect it to the TV. The Inty did come with an old style switch box with the antenna clips, not the coax output. I doubt this would produce any better results (if there's even a place to attach it to the TV). In case it helps, I'm connecting it to a Sharp Aquos LCD TV.
  9. I recently acquired a System Changer for my Inty II and Pitfall II as well. When I try to play it on my HDTV, the picture flickers like crazy, the colors are never constant and, when they do appear, they seem to be off. I did have an issue with the Inty on this TV but seemed to resolve it by hooking it to a signal booster, as was suggested elsewhere. Even with this configuration, the System Changer isn't working as desired. Has anyone else used the System Changer with a similar configuration that can offer some advice as to what I can try? Thanks!
  10. I take that back, I have no idea what he's talking about...3
  11. So that's what the 'last hope for Mattel Electronics' looked like? No cart slot? No controllers? Truly ahead of it's time!
  12. Since this forum is filled with very knowledgeable people on the subject, I thought I'd ask here if anyone would have an idea as to what a Coleco-branded Turbo cart be worth on eBay or as a possible trade? I'm not trying to collect every cart imaginable. Instead I'm more selective of what I'm keeping and acquiring while purging the junk from my collection. I forgot to mention that I have the cart only, which is in very good (though not mint) condition. Thanks!
  13. Oooh... it's gone down $200! Now may the time to jump on it.
  14. Of course the Intellivoice would have to say "We're closed now!" when one loses thier last life
  15. There's an Aquarius printer on eBay now for those looking for one for their Intellivision ECS or Aquarius, though the $150 asking price seems a bit steep to me. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190716711684
  16. Better hurry! It's only available for under 26 days or whoever buy it, whichever comes first! -- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
  17. I'd love to see a real attempt made to port of Zaxxon over to the Intellivision. The Coleco version has to be one of the worst games ever made for the platform and doesn't bear any resemblance to the original. I find it baffling as to why people pay so much money for it on eBay. Just because a game's rare, doesn't mean it's any good.
  18. This was the first thing that came to mind when I ordered Christmas Carol. Unfortunately, my scores aren't good enough yet to win the grand prize otherwise I'd have Carol replaced by 1800's The Doctor.
  19. Let's see... a mortgage payment or a video game. Wonder which one the wife will go for...
