There are a couple of easter eggs in Okie Dokie, depending on the version that you have. One will show you which spots you have inverted on the playfield as a tool to help you finish the game, you can do that by pressing the fire button on the right joystick. The other is the scrolling message you can get when you complete a puzzle. Pull down on the left joystick and press the fire button.

Hi gang,
Glad you enjoyed my hack. Just to clarify a couple of things, the hack was not easy, it was a ton of work (and I'm still not done - need to mount those difficulty switches on the back). I killed the original 2600 because I had some free time and couldn't wait for shipping from Best Electronics (my wife was within a week of giving birth), so I made the decision to pull the parts from a beat up 2600 I had sitting around. There was major surgery performed on the faceplate and 4 attempts at creating the board that now holds the cartridge slot, switches, power plug, joystick ports and soon the difficulty switches before everything fit right. I used the original 2600 joystick ports and created 9-pin extension cables that plug into the FB2 ports. The FB2 motherboard was moved to the belly of the unit. If I were to do it again it would be easier, but I couldn't see anyone doing this as a service and being able to make enough money to justify the time it would take. My wife thinks I'm nuts, I must have spent 10 to 15 hours literally hacking away... It was all worth it though when I got to sit down with my son and play some games. He's only 4 but he is quite the gamer, seriously, his favorite game is Star Fox on the N64, anyway he loved playing "Dad's old games"!

Original Intellicart Serial #004 For Sale
in Buy, Sell, and Trade

Hi,
I've decided that it's time to sell my Intellicart. I bought it from Chad Schell originally when he first made them. Got a low serial # because I had helped him with some of the Cuttle Cart software. This is the Intellicart that uses the serial port. It comes with the manual and floppy disk containing the necessary software and the original receipt. I haven't tried this since I bought it originally, but if anyone is interested I can set it up and try it out. I don't know how much I want for this, I paid $100 originally for it, send me an offer and we can talk.
Thanks,
Bob
