  1. Well said @DZ-Jay. As a half century player I have always thought that the main thing in a game is the emotions it can bring to the player. A game can be weak on graphics or have a clumsy user interface, but ultimately it can be great fun to some players, because there's a good story behind it or because the entire game concept is good. Donkey kong was to me an originally great (and I mean GREAT) game, poorly ported on the Intellivision. But the game concept was so strong that playing it could be fun even though on the Inty you had to avoid some hurdles and overcome its limits. I'm with you in expressing my gratitude to Mr Johnson.
  2. Does anyone know when it will be available again CIB? Rev, any news?
  3. Thank you CMart! If I ever decide to embark on this perilous journey I will strictly follow your advice 😃
  4. Wonderful collection CMart. Thanks a lot for sharing. I have always loved handhelds but I have never found the courage to start a collection.
  5. Too bad I missed on that one. It's already out of stock. Hope it will be restocked soon!
  6. I have the CIB version and I absolutely love the game. It will be nice to have it on my LTO flash to play it away from home. Thank you!
  7. Is the original expanded code still available somewhere? Or is it gone forever?
  8. In the item of ebay there's also a small ladybug sticker near the title label
  9. I'm not really into variants, but I have never seen one of those. It's not in great shape. https://www.ebay.it/itm/185916993091?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FisOzp-hTBq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  10. It's the second level, if I'm not mistaken. The one with the gigantic yellow birds. Great game! A lot of athmosphere and action. The bats following you along those neverending vertical corridors where it was impossible to fire...
  11. One of my sons is incredibly fond of Intellivision. I suppose it has to do with us playing together since he was a little kid. By the way we keep playing it with him well in his teens. But I agree with you, when I am too old or gone, my collection will be some kind of family heritage worth the memories it brings. It will keep some historical value but it will lose its market value completely. All in all, that's the way I want to leave it to my son. A tangible memory and a way to come back to me once I am gone and meet me in one of the phantasy worlds that Intellivision brings to life. Forgive me for the digression...
  12. Oh yes, please do it. I'll be waiting for that day.
