I only have two but they're both 1 year apart ... so this year the oldest starts and next year I'll have 2 for the next 3 years. Ugh. They're both smart kids and will both be getting some scholarships but dang ... this is a chunk of money. I'd rather pay as much as I can now to help them than have the games collecting dust on my shelf. Love seeing them up there ... but not that much

Some long term collector is selling off a lot of his collection! https://www.ebay.com/sch/fushekhome/m.html?item=223950442387&hash=item34247c8f93%3Ag%3Aw7kAAOSwgaZeclDf&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Yeah, it's me and this is my shameless plug. Going to liquidate a lot of the stuff that I just don't play any more and help pay for my kids' college education. I'll be adding more as time permits ...

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Fushek replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
Paid through Paypal for mine. No email confirmation but shows $100 paid to Intellivision Entertainment so assuming all is right with the world 😎 -
Amico Founders Edition pre-sale: “guess the time to sellout” pool
Fushek replied to Loafer's topic in Intellivision Amico
Reserved my Amico No confirmation email either, but they took my money from Paypal! And what's funny ... is that I'm getting advertisements for "Amica Auto Insurance". They must think I'm just missing up my search results when I search for Amico 😀 -
The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
Fushek replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Bought a couple thousand old Magic cards from a yard sale for $5 this summer that I finally decided to go through. They had looked to have been picked through as there were VERY few "Gold" rare cards. However, there were some older cards from before they designated rares with a gold colored icon and I was thrilled to find these two guys among the commons! -
Know these are hard to find (supposedly only 1,000 made?) and even harder to figure out what they are worth! This unit is in VG cosmetic condition (only issue is one of the rubber bumpers on the bottom is missing). The screen was tested with an Atari 520st and worked fine. The floppy drive powered on, appeared to read disks when inserted and I double clicked on the drive (red light came on and unit seemed to run), but the drive showed 0 bytes read on any disk read so I'm assuming that the belt/band needs replaced. Oh, and I have the manual for the monitor as well. I'd be willing to sell or trade. I have no idea what to ask, thus the "interest check". I'd also be willing to trade for complete RPGs from just about any system (Phantasy Star for the SMS, Valkyrie Profile or Suikoden II for the PS1, that type of stuff). Let me know if you're interested.

The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
Fushek replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Went to some garage sales this weekend and mostly struck out. Later in the day, asked if they had any video games, and she said no but she had some boxes for Sega Genesis that she'd sell for $10 and asked me if I'd be interested. I said sure, thinking that maybe I could pair some loose games with some boxes. She went into the garage and pointed up to the console boxes below. I said, "I'll take them!". They all have the Styrofoam/cardboard inserts and are in great condition! -
Commodore 64 carts disk and tapes for sale
Fushek replied to atari5200dude82's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
No international shipping? Good luck finding a buyer on your location of Atlantis ... I've heard they are experiencing some flooding issues. OK ... bad humor, just consider this is a free bump. -
The Official "Thrift finds" Thread
Fushek replied to Happy_Dude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Yard sale find ... DS with 14 mainly Petz and Sims games with a $30 price tag. Was thinking "pass" until I saw that the DS was the Tri-Force edition! Powered on and has the stylus so I scooped up the lot and convinced her to include Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the $30. Kirby's Canvas Curse is a decent find as well. -
Rant - 3 games I am not going to release.
Fushek replied to BBWW's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
This is an ugly trend that Ive seen here that have driven the common folk like me away from the hobby. There have been limited releases (Blix), secret releases (bcs tires), releases that were supposed to be cancelled yet show up on ebay (Smurf), boxes for those who know someone but not to the masses, prepaid games that never come to fruition and prepaid rom rooms that take forever to be uploaded and available. Now we add to this unauthorized boxes. Sorry this has happened to you bbww as I have a solid respect for u in our prior dealings. Good luck with releasing and enjoying the hobby. Ive enjoyed this hobby for many years, especially in the golden age of IntelligentVision. The market is now flooded and, even though some of the games lately look fantastic, the fun seems to be sucked out of hobby. Maybe it will return, but Im not so sure ... -
So the question of the day ... if Spiker is the last game NOT in your collection, does the reissued Spiker qualify you for the 125 club? Asking for a friend (and, uh, ignore my signature below)

Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A
Fushek replied to Tommy Tallarico's topic in Intellivision Amico
Mr. Tallarico, I would encourage you to maintain Doug TenNapel's input on the new Earthworm Jim game. As the creator of Earthworm Jim, it would be a shame if "politics" got in the way of his inclusion. It would be the same mistake that Disney almost made by removing James Gunn from GOG 3 ... I believe that they made the right decision by bringing him back. I'm looking forward to the new console and a new game in the Earthworm Jim series. So far, I'm impressed with what I've seen and heard and the Earthworm Jim announcement was a huge step in bringing legitimacy to the project. Keep up the good work! -
Earthworm Jim for Intellivision Amico controversy?
Fushek replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision Amico
Personally, I've learned to set politics aside when it comes to my entertainment. As someone who typically resides on the conservative side, I would never be able to enjoy a Hollywood movie again if I avoided any 'leftist' actor or producer. It takes something pretty offensive for me to raise an eyebrow enough to avoid a movie/project. Someone simply stating their opinions, even if sometimes not so eloquently, doesn't mean that you can't appreciate what they do or create. Most people who disagree with your social/political stance are NOT EVIL. We simply have a different set of beliefs and shouldn't be shunned because we share them ... and we should show the same patience for the other side as well. -

Finally found something worth posting again. Craigslist find for $70. Had a PS2 system with the games seen below. Some unique titles and some very good PS1 games including Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 and Bomberman Fantasy Race -
Where in the World is the Intellivision Community?

Nope. Yep.

End there. You nailed it.

Groovy has brought the drama on himself with how this situation was handled and has continued to handle it because of his poor communication, nonchalant attitude and long absences. If he were to simply log in occasionally and honestly keep people apprised of his situation, this community is usually pretty forgiving. But to announce "Refunds for all!", refund a few but not others and then disappear again without a trace ... you're injecting drama into the drama you've already created. Personally, if I owed people money, I would be apologetic and letting them know what's going on, even if I was embarrassed by the entire situation. It's the right thing to do. I had kept quiet because I received my refund long ago, but I don't begrudge any of the people on this board doing what they can to keep this alive until they receive their refunds. They are justified and Groovy should be keeping them informed of the refunding process either publicly or via PM.

CollectorVision Intelligent Club 2019
Fushek replied to retroillucid's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I'm not sure that I'll ever do pre-orders anymore. Too much can go wrong and it hurt the trust of this community when it's happened before. This is NOT to be construed as a negative against CollectorVision who has done great work, I'd just rather not go down that rabbit hole again. I also usually won't order a mystery game. I'm glad that I didn't jump in on Rev's mystery game as the game ended up being one that I wouldn't have enjoyed owning. If the game was announced, and it was one that I really wanted, it might supersede my fear above. That said, I wish you luck with the program, and I hope that you continue producing great games for the system that I love. -
I hate seeing good, upstanding members get treated this way as it takes a toll on the trust of the community. I hope that Groovybee comes back soon and makes good on his promise.
