How does one get a copy of "Game Factory" for Intellivision ???

I usually buy my gaming systems modded, so when I picked up a Sega Saturn, I got a modded one so that I could play the American and foreign releases. To me, it is well worth the extra money so that I don't have to worry about memory issues... The only system I have yet to buy a modded version of is the original Xbox. Does anyone know a reputable place to get one?

U R NOT E

I was [and always will be] a Sega fanatic, but my friend got a PSOne at launch, and the titles that I remember most were DOOM and DECENT! I loved those first person shooters...

VECTRON for Intellivision. Man, is that a toughie...

The Sega Saturn is a totally underrated system for its time! There are a lot of great games for it, and if you are serious about it, then I would suggest giving any bargain priced game a try! I am not sure how the prices are, but Sega Rally, Three Dirty Dwarves, and Courier Crisis are pretty fun games too. Then, if you are the collector like I am, you may want to even delve into the Japanese importing scene too. That is where the Saturn really shined !!!

I gotta ask: How does one get this game? Silly question: Will it be available for play on a floppy disk?

One time, about 10 years or so ago, I purchased a few Dreamcast games that were sold as new and hardly played. I got them for more than half what they were going for new, so needless to say, I was very excited about it. Well, when the games came in, they were burnt copies. Hell, the game discs were the black Playstation game discs. So, I contacted Ebay and the seller, because I was swindled. Even though the games were copies, and illegal ones at that, Ebay did nothing to help. All they did was ban the user, who I never heard from ever again. But banning a user does nothing, as I am sure that the person simply re-registered under a different alias. I have not used Ebay for much after that, but I feel your pain, and I feel that not much has changed when it comes to Ebay. People will use Ebay to swindle others, and Ebay either contractually keeps out of it, or states that the dollar amount must be substantial for them to act...which probably was not the case in your case, and was certainly not mine. My advice: Reach out and contact the seller. Ask questions...almost to the point of absurdity...especially if the item is rare. I was too trusting back then, but not any longer. Now, I aim my sights to be more of a conscience consumer. If people do not want to answer your questions, or take their time in getting back to you, as good as a deal may be, it might be better to simply pass on it.

More than likely, they are playing one of the many pong-dedicated consoles that flooded the market in the 1970's. Without getting a closer look, it is very difficult to know which one exactly. ~ Ashley

Yep, looks like a demo to me... ~ Ash http://youtu.be/_o_st1zmDHw

Offer $80. They want you to buy 6 games, after all. If they come back with a counter offer of $100, then go $90. But stand firm at $90. They may be sealed, they may be in a sealed box, but it is still ESB, and it was not one of the better offerings for video gaming in the 80's! Good luck! ~ Ashley

It definitely sounds like "Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude" from Sega Genesis... http://youtu.be/Tb5kENqmveA

Count me in for one in the Intellivision box!!! ~ Ashley

No worries...just put me down for one, and all is forgotten!

I don't want to sound like a party pooper, but we were told 9PM est, and it is officially 9:10PM est. Some of us have early calls for jobs that we use our income to purchase these games with. We should have been informed 10 minutes ago, as promised...

OKAY, it's 9:01PM...what is it, and put me down for one !!!

Whatever the game is, count me in for one!

I want one...

How about the one that started it all when it came to add-ons: THE COLECOVISION...!!! * ColecoVision Expansion Module 1: The Atari 2600 Adapter * ColecoVision Expansion Module 2: The Turbo Steering Wheel Controller * ColecoVision Expansion Module 3: The Adam Computer * Module 3 ProtoType: The module #3 was originally conceived to be the ColecoVision Super Game Module using game wafers as the storage medium. Although Coleco presented a mock-up of the SGM at the 1983 New York Toy Show, that product was never manufactured. There were also rumors that Expansion Module #3 was to have incorporated an RCA CED player to store larger amounts of data.

I'll take one please... ~ Ashley

I personally would love to see some new Sega Genesis and even some 32X games come out on the Homebrew scene...especially the 32X because a lot of the great games that were slated for it never seemed to materialize, but exist in some form. I just hate that homebrew games cost so darned much money. As it is now, when a new homebrew Intellivision game is released, it can cost between $55-$75, which is a far cry from the $30 Mattel was asking, and the $20 Intv, Corp. was asking... So, while I want to see more Sega Genesis and 32X titles, the question is not if I want to see releases, but rather, can I afford the releases...??? - ASHLEY TALES FROM THE GAME ROOM
