looks great. always loved Space Armada but the aliens were just designed too large. They go across the screen like twice and they're already on top of your bunkers. funny this popped up cause I was just wondering why no one had ever made a home-brew redesign of Space Armada.

Diner was def a sequel to Burgertime although it was released well after the Intellivision's heyday. Even though they changed the character names it's hard denying Tropical Trouble isn't a Beauty & The Beast sequel. and yeah I agree the Tron and D&D games felt more like part of a series as opposed to sequels.

I'm not sure if I'm posting this is the right place. If I'm not feel free to let me know where I should and this post can be deleted. I'm looking for some overlays. Figured I'd hit up the community here before I went digging around eBay. Not looking to spend a ton, just figured some of y'all might have some spares laying around you'd be willing to part with. These are ones I'm looking for: Atlantis Beamrider Burgertime US Skiing Dracula Fathom Ice Trek Lock N Chase Masters Of Universe Microsurgeon (both overlays) NFL Football River Raid Safecracker Swords & Serpents (both overlays) Tron (all three games) Whitewater Aside from Microsurgeon and Swords & Serpents I'm fine with just buying one overlay, don't need a set. Anyway, if you might be able to help me out lemme know and we can work out deal. Thanks......

Did my part, even busting out the overlay! in addition to Buzz Bombers which I signed up for I played Space Armada, 4-Tris, Venture, Tropical Trouble........

I owned the apple night stalker. Long gone with my apple 2c. Wish I kept them. I had Burgertime and lock n chase too but just as bootlegs like most of games for Apple back then. Night stalker was only one I actually bought in a store somewhere.

I got buzz bombers. I find it funny that when it was released back in day I got it and didn't think much of it but now find it's one of my "go to" games I can always play and enjoy. Here's hoping they revisit it for the Amico.

that is cool as hell. nice. are these for sale somewhere or was this a custom job?

funny thing is when I was a kid my neighbor had golf and we maybe played it once.... maybe twice.... but when I got the flashback I found myself really enjoying the original golf game for some reason.

Oh no it's def small enough to bring and I actually did. But the TV at my hotel is 1080i and the Flashback is set to 1080p. Todd said it could be changed but i didn't wanna go thru the hassle when I know at home my TV was 1080p so as difficult as it was to have to wait I did and plugged it in at home when we had a break and all was A-OK.

I got mine earlier this summer. Since I was away working on the road I hadn't had a chance to take it for a test spin until about 2 weeks ago. Plugged it in and am just floored how awesome it is to have this. Finally able to play Diner after all these years of just watching videos.... Playing Deadly Discs again and instantly reminded how cool that simple game is.... Back on the road again but can't wait for next visit home to spend a bit more time with it. Highly recommend this if you don't have the skill or time to make your own. Worth every penny.

That's cool you still have yours. I had mine for a long time but it stopped working. You're right though the added levels were cool and a nice touch. I Remember having to land the capsule onto your ship at one point. It was the best electronic game I ever played. I think a few years ago I randomly looked on eBay for one. If I remember correct the prices were kind of high. I sold my Donkey Kong to a friend for like nothing. Then I sold my tabletop Popeye for a ton of money in eBay. Made me wish I hadn't sold my Donkey Kong.

I was an intellivision kid back in early 80s. But when the Coleco Gemini came out it was pretty cheap and I decided to ask for one for Christmas. I guess this 1983? Anyway I was so sure I'd get one I bought Reactor before I even had the system. Luckily I got Gemini so it was all good. Funny thing is I don't really think I played Reactor all that much.

That was an awesome game. I'd never seen the movie (still haven't) but I picked it up back then during one of those trips to Kay Bee in the mall and their giant tub of Atari games all marked down to like $5. Got my money's worth on that one.

I had Donkey Kong back when these came out. It was ok. The best electronic table top I ever had or played was Galaxy II by Epoch. I recently visited the National Video Game Museum outside Dallas and played the Coleco Ms Pac Man and a few other random handhelds and table tops. It was fun for the nostalgic factor but I couldn't see playing these much. I still have my Mattel Battlstar Galactica. Still works. Rarely play it though.

I remember one of my friends had this back in 1982-83. It was pretty fun console. I mainly remember playing Galaxian on it. I always thought the controllers were kinda cool. Funny thing I remember bring at his house when he received the basic cart in the mail. I guess when they bought it you got it free but had to send away for it. I just remember us messing with it a little and having to hold down buttons to type different letters assigned to same button, etc. Fun memories.

I never played them but weren't there games based on Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Halloween? The weirdest or maybe just worst game I had was I Want My Mommy.

Was this Beezer a real game? I've never heard of it but I find it so odd.... What's with all the bee interest in Intv games? Buzz Bombers, Spina, and now Beezer. Bees never seemed like such an attractive thing to base a game around. But having said that I do love me some Buzz Bombers. Had it back in the day and was the game I played most when I got a Flashback.

That's what my first impression was that it looked too "busy" to be an Intv game.

It's funny having never played this game but certainly being aware of it and seeing the screen image I always thought the woman character sitting in the center (or I guess head of the table) was a dude. It always looked like two women and a dude you were playing. A dude with a big ol' wide 70s shirt collar. Also the discussion on what the one lady was wearing was amusing. I mean Will got it right it's obviously fishnets.

Thanks Paul.

yeah I just always thought when you compare it to the design of Play Cable which matches right up flush with the Intellivision and essentially just looks like you've extended your Intellivision that the Intellivoice should've been made similarly. Just like how the US gray ECS and System Changer "extends" the Intellivision II.

Has anyone ever read anywhere why they designed the Intellivoice the way they did? Like why didn't they go with something more like the Play Cable unit where it set flush with the Intellivision? I've always been curious cause the Intellivoice seemed so awkward the way it looked attached to the Intellivision. I searched around a little for the answer to no luck. Thought maybe some of you who know far more about the system then me might know.

the short it is based on was really good/creative. this looks…. like it might not be very good.

Not really a game but I used it as much as any game: Dazzle Draw Games: Gremlins Hard Hat Mack Arcade Boot Camp Loderunner (creating your own screens was the shit) Sammy Lightfoot Conan Hall of Volta (always wished they made a sequel) Bruce Lee Montezuma's Revenge had to hook up to a TV to play so I could see the different color keys) Cannonball Blitz Stellar 7 Spare Change Mario Bros. so many. I had the CH Products Mach II joystick. I also got a mouse probably for Christmas 1985 when I got Dazzle Draw. Had no idea what it was. The person selling Dazzle Draw to my mom probably talked her into buying it.

i loved my Apple IIc. We got it in Fall 1984. I used it until around 1998 when it started having some power issues. I wish I had kept it. I used to spend hours using Dazzle Draw. Just went on a binge looking at videos on YT of old games I used to play. Sammy Lightfoot, Conan Hall of Volta, Montezuma's Revenge, Apple Cider Spider, Hard Hat Mack, Arcade Boot Camp, Loderunner, Gremlins…. the list goes on.
