  1. Discovered IntellivisionCollector.com last night, and was pleased to finally find the IntelliVania ROM on sale there, for a very reasonable price, and DRM-free, as homebrew ROMs should be. 🙂

  2. I'm really saddened to hear this. He put out some great works. Rest in peace Nukey. My condolences to the family.
  3. @wongojack I'm not the biggest fan of eating humble pie, but I thought more about, and had to admit that you were right about the Sega Nomad. [emoji6] My final choice for most underrated console is still not a popular choice, and I might get almost as much heat for this one, possibly more. But many owners of this device would probably understand why I would choose the Nvidia Shield Portable. Please excuse my lack of energy right now to make an argument for it. I just wanted to retract that misguided Nomad vote, and cast my vote for a different obscure handheld that was largely ignored by the masses.
  4. So I filled out the form and submitted it, successfully. I also joined the forum, and can log in. But I have no access to the IntelliClub forum. I submitted a help post, but no response. [emoji848]
  5. Gotcha. I am experienced with music composition software, and I'd love to give it a go, but unfortunately I don't have a PC right now.
  6. Boom bappy! I very much enjoyed that. Got a wave file of it that you'd be willing to share?
  7. Any chance of a ROM release? The game looks great, and I'd love to play it. But my Intellivision went missing decades ago, and I've yet to replace it.
  8. A friend of mine who was a few years older than me, drove to Canada to get it, as for some reason it released there before the US. We lived in Detroit, so it wasn't that far. I don't remember if I had him pick me up a copy or not, but I think so. I do remember playing it and having it around launch.
  9. It's a copy of one of the most common video games of that era. An incredibly popular title that sold a massive amount of copies for an incredibly popular system that was installed in dozens of millions of homes. Can't see how it's worth more than maybe a few thousand dollars. Call me crazy but I think this retro video game market is insanely overvalued, and people are pulling the wool over their own eyes.
  10. As much as the new Atari VCS gets clowned on, they murdered that joystick design! I think that's going to be a lot of people's alternative 2600 joystick choice, even if it takes modding to use on a real VCS. I suspect an adapter will be available to take care of that though.
  11. I have no objection to it. The law isn't an indicator of morality, it's just what's on the books. Conole modding and piracy aren't mutually exclusive. If I buy a stereo and decide to turn it into a toaster, it's my prerogative. I think it's important to understand and honor the intent of a law as far as actual morality is concerned, rather than obsessing about the letter of it. Everybody has their own conscience to deal with.
  12. I'm sorry for speaking out of line. I hadn't quite realized that my opinion needed to be validated by you first. [emoji848] Sent from my LG Stylo 2 Plus using Tapatalk
  13. The fear of second hand goods is sorta irrational. People still handle the the boxes, shrinkwrap, shipping materials, etc. of new stuff. Was browsing through Amazon for the Nintendo Switch last week and saw that it's sold out. Only available through marketplace sellers, and the prices have doubled in some cases. This includes the original and Lite model. Glad I bought a Lite last month, but have been kickin' around the idea of buying an original model too. As much as it would be a bad sign to see prices drop on retro gaming goods, I can't say I'd mind. Can't think of a better word for it than asinine, as has been said.
