Not now! Wow, what are the odds of that? Thanks for the heads up Fushek, much appreciated. Normally I don't go that long without looking at ebay but I guess I've been busy the last few hours and missed this getting posted. Weird. This game comes up infrequently, it's not terribly expensive usually, but I haven't seen one for a while and it's one of those weird ones that's eluded me. Unbelievably, I think the last bilingual Mattel game I need is now PGA Golf/Le Golf PGA. Thanks for the props! By the way, congrats on your last batch of sealed games, you got some crazy prices on some of them, particularly Word Fun. Glad you got it! Actually saw the auction before I saw your thread and thought that one looked odd (not to mention a nice INTV III with original packing!) And thanks for the props on my games ... that was crazy on the Word Fun especially since I mentioned the crushing of the box in the back. Is the game that hard to find sealed?

Does this auction have the Space Spartans variation that you are looking for? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 270995374964 Cool variation listing!

I won the World Series Baseball...among other games from the seller. Long story, but at the last minute he cancelled the order saying that he didn't have the game and sent it to the wrong buyer. He did refund my $6.50 plus shipping, and said that IF the game was returned he would sell it to me for half price. This raised red flags for me since it was the rarest in the bunch and the only other one listed was pikachu's (asking price $160). I figured he may have seen that one and possibly wanted to back out of the sale. This happens all the time and it just seemed too fishy. That's why I asked about River Raid, the other most valuable. Ironically, World Series went to Fushek with River Raid and I was just being paranoid. On a side note, the seller was really nice - incredibly fair, prompt replies, answered all my questions, probably lost money on the game because of the hassle. I received the other games today and they were all well packaged. If any of you get a chance to do business with him, you will not regret it. Very professional and one of the better sellers on eBay. Agreed, very professional and apologetic. Actually, I just heard from him last night and he sent me a label to return the game to him. Hopefully, it then can make it's way back into your hands! He even gave me a refund for my troubles (totally unnecessary as we all got sweet deals on his stuff in the first place).

Before I received the stuff, I got an message that he had shipped the wrong thing, wanted to send a return label to ship it back, offered to discount everything 60% for my troubles, etc. I think Jason was thinking that there might be something fishy going on. Maybe the person that he didn't ship the item to, he offered to give a full refund and forget the transaction (which makes sense, for what he charged for the items, to ship it all around, he's not going to be making much). Those River Raid overlays are the worst of the whole INTV collection. It's bizarre how crappy they are, I swear if you look at them funny they start flaking. Great deals had by all from this guy. True ... I like labels but more interested in a nice box that looks impressive on my shelf. I never use the overlays.

As a warning, I'm moving back on target ... Received River Raid today (box is in good condition but overlays are crappy, but for 8 bucks, no worries!) and World Series as he said. Still waiting on the label ... but seller seems legit.

We're probably the only few that are trolling eBay constantly ... waking up in the middle of the night and instinctively reaching for our iPhones to check eBay for new Intellivision items ... leaving parties early if out of service range in constant fear of missing that BIN Spiker for $10 ... Or maybe that's just me

I'm waiting for the Collector's Edition. Same here ... thought about buying a play and a collect, but I have a wife and can only justify one so waiting for the Collector's Edition.

I won two of his games ... CIB River Raid as you mentioned and CIB World Championship Baseball. I got an email from him stating that he sent me the wrong game (World Series Baseball instead of World Championship) and he wants me to forward that onto the right person (he's sending a label). He says he's still sending me my stuff, but offering a 60% discount for my troubles in the mishap which isn't really necessary since they were dirt cheap to begin with. I know that I've mis-shipped once or twice in years of selling, so it's not unheard of to mix up a shipment so I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt. I'll let you know if anything else alerts me to an issue though ...

First post on this thread ... fun reading about everyone's finds. Last week a local storage locker rental shop advertised a Colecovision on Craigslist with a bunch of games. Went there and got more than I bargained for Coleceovision (REALLY fuzzy picture to the point of being unplayable) with 30+ games Atari (not beautiful cosmetically, but working perfectly) and a couple of games NES (flashing red light of course!) with 4 games (including a gold zelda) Nintendo 64 (working perfectly) with 8 games including 007 and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense All for $70. Considering the coleco games are probably worth that much, I think that I made out ok.

Yes, but he has now also included an orphan overlay 3 set and at least a cart of every original Intellivision game. Definitely worth that additional 10K. Oh, it's absolutely a negative to me. Can't speak for anyone else, though. Immediate negative. Whenever I see his auctions, I just laugh. I resell on eBay at times but I would never dream of doing something like this. It would ruin my good reputation.

Thin Ice (cart only) for less than $10. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320904491477 And what's up with the 12 pictures for a 5.99 game? He obviously has too much time on his hands ...

That's nice. You know, on your games that Elektronite is publishing, you should have a symbol/notice on the box that it's endorsed by the Intellivision Brotherhood!

I think that I'm understanding the logic and some of the code ... having issue so far in "putting it all together". I feel like I have a bunch of car parts but don't know how to assemble the engine. A background image would be awesome, but don't go to any real troubles ... if I take too much of your time, the community will castrate me for delaying Carol (which looks great, BTW)!

Thanks for the advice. For me, this will be a slow process as I squeeze in a little time to learn in between professional life, family and activities. It's something I'd really like to do. Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to create a computer or video game ... figured why not try to do it on the game system that I grew up with and loved? It will be a long, slow process but one that I really feel I need to do ... Fushek

Well ... we know what Rev's doing when not on the AA forums ... not that I'm complaining or anything.

I will patiently await the boxed release ... although, since it's going to be shrink-wrapped, I wouldn't mind getting a boxed copy and separately buying the loose one to play and keep the other sealed for my collection.

I don't think that there's any doubt that Donkey Kong is the best of the bunch. While it was nice to see the others released and I bought them all (except Rocky which I somehow missed), Donkey Kong showed what Coleco SHOULD have released back in the day.

Well, I think it needs a higher bit-rate in the cowbell waveform. I have a video game fever ... and the only prescription ... is more cowbell waveform.

And then there's this. You know you're WAY too into video games when your first thought is "That looks fun!" and you start googling bathrooms in your local area ... (although, assuming there aren't many of these in Cleveland ...)

Ditto ... I'm appreciative of anyone taking the time and effort to release prototypes, games, new home-brews or anything for the Intellivision. This kind of activity will turn people away from the forums and the from home-brew market in general. Let It Go and just

I just noticed (and it's probably been there for years) that your picture for your ID, the princess is yelling "REV!" I know everyone else on here probably knew that ... but I almost choked on my water when I saw it ... funny stuff!

OK ... I'm ready to start playing around have a couple of basic questions. 1) To start, I plan on breaking down some of the tutorials to get a basic understanding and then recreating in the pmach environment. Am I correct that most of the programming will take place for now in the pmach-test.asm or should I make changes directly into the asm files in the state sub-folder? 2) I thought to walk through the Hello World and Tag Along Todd tutorials on Intelliwiki. Does that make sense as a good place to start? 3) If you have a simple/basic screen background drawn (something that would just show a picture) that I could break down, it would help. I learn best by breaking down the work of others! Thanks again ... Fushek

I did also spent couple of hours to correctly set up the environemt :-) start from scratch and follow instruction, it will works I try to push any newbie to spend some effort on making the game Kaboom: this one is not a huge project and allow you to learn on background and sprites.. it should be very much compliant with the p-machinery concept and if you succeed to make a scheleton it could be completed by an expert just like Colossal in my personal experience.... it would also be published in cart for sure when finished! of corse is just a suggestion You are way over estimating my abilities! I'll think for now I'll be happy playing around and seeing what the system can do and what I can even manage to do with it ...

Victory is mine ... for some reason I was missing the cart.mac and the randfast.asm files. I went to Intelliwiki and downloaded the source code, made the files and placed them in the proper folders. From there, I ran the build.bat and was error free! Opened up the emulator and run the pmach-test.rom and got the title screen as expected. Thanks for the start and your patience ... I'll look at all of the documentation and get playing around and see what I can break!

OK. I setup my Environment Variables and ran it and still came up with 40 errors. After downloading the pause.asm and added it to the library, my error count went down to 39 where I'm currently stuck. When I type in the AS1600 and JZINTV, I get the correct responses. Any idea on the 39 errors ... is that files that I'm missing or potentially have mapped incorrectly in the environment variables?
