  1. That VGA case is worth more than the game, literally! Mint in box Tron Deadly Discs sell for less than $10 on eBay, lol
  2. Good idea. Mine are all in the plastic box holders but I have extra carts for the more common games I play the most like Deadly Discs and Burgertime so that keeps me from having to go into them a lot. I'd say of the 125 I only play about 15 of them regularly but if I decided to get extra overlays I might as well try to complete an entire set of extras just in case. I think of all the original overlays that were released I am only missing River Raid.
  3. As do I, tucked into the manual for each game. But I've been wanting to collect a spare set for every game for actual use and as backups so this is a great idea for storage so I don't have to open the boxes everytime. Saves wear on the box flaps for sure.
  4. I view it as a good thing since this is what I imagine the Intellivision III would have looked like. It's our only chance to see what could have been. Can't wait to play this game on my II console!
  5. Have traded with, purchased from, and sold to Eric7100 in different transactions. All went very smooth and professional. Highly recommended person to transact with!
  6. Unfortunately, no. Sniping is still the standard for any regular auction and eBay has no interest in ending the practice. Everything about eBay is set up to favor the buyers since they are what drives the business. So as long as so many buyers prefer to take a quick shot right at the end of an auction to save money (which may not even be true) there will be no extending of the time to help out the seller. This is why I like to sell everything as a Buy It Now and to avoid the hassle. Granted, regular auctions do have the best potential for a max sale but I usually find a price that I'm happy selling my items at and don't worry too much about what I may miss out on bid-wise. I only post regular auction sales when I know the item is rare or desired enough to generate decent bidding. If I had my way, Silent Auctions would be an option on eBay. Where everyone bids the max amount they are willing to pay and no one sees anyone else's bid. At the end of the auction time, the highest overall bid wins. I doubt they ever allow such a concept though unless they find that it would mean more profit for themselves.
  7. I play on an unmodified Intellivision II console with original controllers. I have 2 spare controllers in case either of mine break and purchased a set of Flashback controllers with the adapters as added backup. I effectively play the exact same way I did as a kid in the early 80s with the exception of having an original Intellivision back then vs. using the II now.
  8. I think you mean "Don't bury your little boy" there. Very sorry to hear about your kitty, Eric. At least you did everything you could for her. For what it's worth I did enjoy hearing about your dog, Pepper. I was wondering how Salt got her name.
  9. Just completed a nice semi-rare cart trade with wongojack. Great communication. Item came quickly and packaged very well. Very trusted member of the community here!
  10. Unfortunately I cannot make gatefold boxes. But I could do an accurate reproduction in the INTV style. The retention for the cassettes would be the only tough part. Would have to invent something new altogether.
  11. Those are some mighty fine box scans you have there. Very detailed and thoroughly presented. That cold be... useful
  12. I play primarily on the Intellivision II console. The thicker controller gives me a better grip and I find the smoother buttons easier to glide across. The original system side buttons are better but both pale in comparison to the Flashback controllers.
  13. If you can post some pics of the front and back of the damaged areas when you receive it, I can see if it can be restored for you.
  14. One of these days I am going to demand access to the cmart vault... museum... compound... whatever, just to see how much Intellivision stuff you have that I didn't even know existed!
  15. Have completed several trades with BBWW. Excellent member of the community!
  16. I'm a strict CIB guy. Not to say I wouldn't pick up a loose one for a good price but the goal for all of my items is CIB even if I have to make the darn box myself! lol
  17. I plan on eventually getting all the M Network games to go with my System Changer as well, Mattel only though. Besides Star Strike, my toughest find will probably be the Tron joystick from M Network. I'm not looking forward to how much I will have to pay for one of those CIB.
  18. Sprite flickering? I'm afraid I know nothing about programming. Frame rate? Can't code things either. The meaning of life? That's an easy one... 42
