Damn. 😞 One of only two cons I attend locally every year.

The Amico isn’t coming out in April? Delayed?
CharonPDX replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision Amico
They're planning on it. Obviously COVID restrictions permitting. -
Intellivision LTO Flash - games pre-loaded SD Card on eBay
CharonPDX replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
Where you play an Ewok and shoot Stormtroopers with barely effective bow-and-arrow, plus throw rocks and set traps? I'd play that! -

LOL. "We don't condone piracy, but here's a product that is 100% pirated material." -
I'm 99% sure Tower of Doom was available as a baggie'd release - I could swear it came that way when I got it back in the late '80s. But it could be faulty memory which game it was - I just know I didn't have any of the listed "baggie release" games other than Tron Solar Sailer back in the day, and I know Tron was a boxed copy.

Intellivision Ebay Roundup
CharonPDX replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I keep getting sniped on He-Man boxed copies. Not even looking for sealed, just a box in good condition. (It's the last non-ECS Mattel Electronics release I'm missing boxed.) -
Intellivoice - What am I missing?
CharonPDX replied to sixersfan105's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
The big problem is that the 1983 video game crash occurred very soon after the Intellivoice came out - with Mattel dumping the Intellivision division soon thereafter. So only the launch set of games ever came out for Intellivoice. Same with the ECS "Computer" component - only the launch set of games, that was it. (And only one game that used both voice+computer.) As others have mentioned, there are more recent games that use it to better effect. -
Um.... I think you have the wrong subforum...

Now Rev's posting with power! Wait, wrong system. -
A Tale of Dragons and Swords

In for one copy - USA. -
Anything advertised as a "TV" will have coax (in the US at least.) Because to be advertised as a TV, it must have an over-the-air tuner. And those all use coax ports to connect the antenna (or cable.) My new(ish, last year's model) 4K LG smart TV tuns in "analog channel 3" just fine, and displays Intellivision no problem. And that's over about a 20 foot unshielded RCA cable to an RCA-to-coax adapter at the TV end.

Intellivision Ebay Roundup
CharonPDX replied to IntellivisionDude's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
LOL. A bunch of sealed Intellivision games - seller lists every era video game system *EXCEPT* Intellivision: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1980s-Factory-Sealed-Video-Games-Atari-Sega-Nintendo-WATA-VGA-Ready/254590237997 -
So I don't know if this will be a popular or unpopular idea: Don't allow anyone to buy more than 1/2 the number of games you're releasing. So if you're releasing 4 games, don't allow any individual to buy more than 2. That way it isn't just "the 24 biggest-pocketbook sealed-box collectors" who get all of the games, and they never circulate or even get played - just sit on those 24 shelves forever. (I would absolutely open and play.)

25 copies each? Well, these are going to either immediately disappear, never to be seen in public again; or a few will be snatched up by eBay scalpers, who will list them for $1000+ shortly thereafter.
