INTV Frogs 'N' Flies

[crunchysuperman]

Ok, show of hands - who here has one of these? The scan here on AA is the only look at this label I've ever gotten - never have I seen one for sale anywhere. This one has become the most difficult to find on my want list.

 

So, I'm curious if it's just me. Raise your hand if you have one.

Is the INTV version the same as M-Network?. If so then the asnwer is yes.

INTV label

M Network label

[Foxsolo2000]

Ah I see. I often wondered why there were white labels of these things. No I have the plain old fashioned M-Network blue label although I have seen a couple of white label INTV Frog N Flies turn up on UK ebay a couple of times

[crunchysuperman]

I'll scour the UK site more often then. I've never seen one anywhere.

[Foxsolo2000]

I tell you its really weird but there seems to be more Ameircan only releases on UK Ebay these days than ever before. Mind you a lot of it goes for ridicolous prices. For example someone was Selling Miner 2049er for a buy it now price of £20 (around $40 US). I didn't pay that much for mine six years ago when I first got into Ebay when the game was a lot rarer than it is now.

I have both the Intellivision and 2600 version.I got my Atari one in a batch of games i got for a trade and the Intellivision one i got from Atari2600.com.Pretty cool game no matter what system it is on.

The white label is extremely hard to come by, which is dubbed an R on my list. If I had a rarer grade for it, it definitely would be. Anytime you see a list, whether it be the one I work on, the rarity on AA, or any other, you should always inquire to other collectors about a game's rarity. Rarity changes as more come out to be sold or are discovered in the wild.

Yep, I think the game is still kind of undervalued and overlooked. It offers lots of 2-player fun. Even for grown-ups. Frogs 'n Flies is under my top-10 favourites actually.

 

For Europe/PAL, I've only seen the Telegames (1989) version so far (that's the one I have). Were there any other PAL-versions that have been sold in Europe?

I am pretty sure that I have had a few of those. I didn't think it was that hard to find. I think that I even sold some of these in my 2600 packages that I have sold.

Well let me know if you find another one!!

 

Guess I'll have to start looking at your lots now. To be honest, I usually skip them, thinking "he wouldn't put anything in there that I'm looking for"

I don't own one, but have been tempted a few times when I've seen it come up one ebay. It was only in large lots though and I didn't want to pay that much for it. Definitely one of those harder find versions of a cart that should go up in rarity (like non pic blue label skiing).

[jboypacman]

Check with Neonesmaster he may have a extra he would be willing to trade for.

[Philflound]

My suggestion is if you see it in a large lot, buy it and then resell the lot without the game, or possibly a few if you need others. In the long run, it's probably worth buying a lot instead of trying to find it by itself. Also, since you're flipping the lot right away, you can hopefully get most of your money back, if not even make a profit, without stocking any extras.

Bumping this old topic.

 

I've still not seen a single one of these. Closest I got was a missing label cart in a lot that the seller said used to have a white label, but it fell off and she never found it.

 

So, once again, I ask who here has one of these? Not "I know I've seen some" or "I think I used to have one" or "I'm sure I've sold several of them in the past", but who actually has one in their collection right now at this moment?

[Frostbite Bailey]

Not me I have been looking for this one for 10 years at least. I have seen it twice on Ebay in large lots that I just did not have the money to buy it at the time; wish I had now. It has become that elusive cart for me. Of course, when I do get it I will find another to take its place. Once, I actually was going to splurge and buy the whole lot, but there was no way now how the Americam seller would ship to Canada I even offered to buy it out of the lot for a more than fair price. No dice! If you find one crunchysuperman, please let me know. Then you can look for one for me. Vice versa if I happen to find one first. Cheers, FB

Of my M-Network cartridges an my house I have six M-Network and one INTV. At my parents, I think they were all M-Network, of course I bought those back when they were first being released, so it makes sense they are all M-Network.

 

Anyone know the total number of cartridges released during the INTV days? Also, I don't have Masters of the Universe. I definitely would have bought that if it were released in my area. Did that one have a limited release?

[yuppicide]

I wish I still had mine. I think all M-Network/INTV stuff was pretty common in the 90's at fleamarkets. There were so many I used to pass on them even without knowing what I had back at home. I'd just be like "Aww not another one". Not saying they were all INTV labels.

[Tempest]

I've got lots of other white label ones, but not Frogs and Flies. Sigh, another label variation to collect...

Who submitted the AA scan?

[lhfreak]

Not me either. The only INTV games I have are Football (x2), Air Raiders and Adventures of Tron....I always keep an eye out for INTV labels when I can....

[jhammond]

I've got this game. Found it on E-bay last summer. My wife and I had a blast with this 2-person game. You may try ELECTRIC REVOLUTION on e-bay, Atariguide.com, or Atari2600.com They have the best selections I've ever seen yet. Hope this helps.

You probably have the standard black & blue M-Network label. Read the whole thread through - the black & white INTV label is what I'm looking for.

I'm sorry, your right...it's black and blue. My Super Challenge Football is the black and white one.

An INTV cart won't have the "MATTEL" stamp embossed on it. If that's missing, you have a bona fide INTV cart. When I was looking for M Network carts, I looked for this on the no label carts.

 

The scan, BTW, is not mine. I don't collect INTV carts.

 

lol, yet...
