Hey, I'm trying to cut back so I went down to 3! LOL In my Hoarder's Anonymous group they call that progress! Troy

Count me in for 3 of each!

Will this be going to the AtariAge store or sold here in this thread? Any idea of when?

Time for you to get a YurkieVision, slab0meat! The good news, for me at least, is that my games should be arriving any day now! Troy

I recently purchased a modified Famicom controller for use with my ColecoVision from chart45. Very awesome item! The controller was packed very well, shipped quickly, and the transaction was extremely smooth. Seller and the Famicom controller both highly recommended. Troy

I recently completed a trade with wongojack for his new copy of Atari 2600 Princess Rescue. The game was originally posted for sale or trade in the forums, so I contacted wongojack. He was more interested in a trade, so the negotiations began. In the end I traded 3 new items and 1 used item for a new unopened Princess Rescue. We both packed the items very securely, added insurance, and had signature required. In the end everything went very smoothly and I am pleased with the result. I would trade with him again. Troy

Princess Rescue received! Hopefully others can help with a few more games I need. I am open to cash sales or trades. Troy

Updated list with more items - let me know if you have any for sale or trade.

Woohoo! I just ordered mine as well, thanks for letting us know! Troy

I am on the wait list at your site for a deluxe version with a cart shell.

I have a couple of sealed copies.

Willie - Is the Executive Producer monitoring this thread and tracking who wants what? Just wanting to know if my earlier post confirms 2 numbered carts for me and box/manual/overlays for my carts or not. Especially with the numbered carts being limited to 50. Troy

I will be picking up 3 copies of this.

Do you know of a website that has any in stock? I am on a back-order list and would like to get this sooner. Troy

Awesome pictures! Your shelves look a bit crowded, so I think I should help you buy purchasing some of that so you will have some space! BTW, have I been chatting with you through email after being in touch through eBay? Troy

I will be purchasing 2 new CIB copies and upgrade sets for my carts. The publisher can send me a PM for details.

I am very happy it was Space Raid! Very excited about getting this one. So many new games coming out it is kind of hard to get up the pace!

I have the arcade controller from Grips as well, but I had never seen the Famicom controller for ColecoVision. I remember how natural the NES controllers felt and am excited about being able to play CV games with this controller. The price on eBay did go rather high, but I am glad I got one. If more are made here on AA I would buy another as a spare. Troy

No regrets and looking forward to using this controller!

So I am confused by the clues...Space Raid was previously announced, but this clue indicates the game was NOT previously released. What was the clue?

I would like 4 copies standard Coleco NTSC box in lowest available numbers and 2 copies CBS box (if available) in lowest available numbers.

Just as this site is named AtariAge with a nod to the magazine, I like the idea of a ColecoVision site named ColecoVisionExperience with a nod to the magazine. Troy

It was a planned release in 1984 but it was unfinished. Happy HolidaysINTELLIVISION ALBUM CARTRIDGE [uNFINISHED] Includes the games Santa's Helper, Easter Eggcitement and Trick or Treat Design/Program: Dale Lynn Graphics: Kai Tran, Lori Sunahara DESCRIPTION An album of three holiday-themed games: Santa's Helper Find and gather all the toys and gifts. Find the elf for extra points. Get all the gifts and join Santa in his sleigh. Drop gifts down chimneys as they scroll past below the sleigh. Easter Eggcitement Find the Easter eggs hidden in the park. Find the Easter Bunny for extra points. Trick or Treat Go trick-or-treating; get candy from houses where the lights are on. Avoid the witches, ghosts and pumpkins. DEVELOPMENT HISTORY As Intellivision games started growing in size, a technical limitation was hit: the Intellivision memory map only allowed for 16K of cartridge space. Some new games on the drawing boards, especially ECS games, required at least 24K. The Design & Development department worked around the problem by building cartridges using pagable ROM. 4K blocks -- pages -- of data could share the same address space and be selected by the program as needed. While the pagable ROMs were intended to allow larger games, it was apparent that they would be ideal for multi-game "albums." Several old and/or new games could easily be linked together on one cartridge with a menu. To demonstrate this, Dale Lynn of the D & D department came up with the original ideaHappy Holidays. The cartridge would contain three original holiday-themed games. Demo screens for the games were designed by Kai Tran and Lori Sunahara, also of D & D, and Dale programmed some simple animation. Dale presented the idea at a meeting of the senior Mattel Electronics executives. The concept of game albums was enthusiastically embraced: everyone started brainstorming ideas for albums of both original and recycled games. (Many albums probably would have hit the market in 1984, but only two -- Go For the Gold and Party Line -- formally made it onto the release schedule.) The idea of Happy Holidays itself, however, was quickly squelched by VP of Application Software Gabriel Baum. Gabriel jealously guarded his department as the only one within Mattel to actually develop Intellivision cartridges. At the meeting, he dismissed the idea of a holiday-themed cartridge, declaring there would be no market for it. Case closed. Happy Holidays died on the spot. (One D & D programmed game did eventually make it to market: Melody Blaster for theECS Music Synthesizer.)

I hope this is a release of Happy Holidays!
