+intellivotion Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Ok, I think I promised a cool pick-up post a while back. I figured I'd show off some of my rarer acquisitions from the past few months. Some were from eBay and some were from the fine folks on AtariAge. Enjoy! First up, I've picked up a few more double-labeled Intellivision Inc carts. These are pretty fun to hunt down and collect. Next up, thanks to my good friends across the Atlantic, I've acquired these 3 International Activision variants. The multilingual catalog was a pleasant bonus! Over my 7 years of Intellivision collecting I've managed to find almost all of the Intellivision homebrews. I'm still missing a few, but I'm now the proud owner of a 4-Tris! This last one took a lot of effort, but I think it's in its final form (unless a set of copyright-less Intellivision Inc overlays surface). Can you guess what it is? A big thanks to everyone involved in helping me find these. I'll let them identify themselves (or not) if they so choose. not bad, my friend. Not bad at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Gotcha. Well, that kind of sucks, because I always thought that Intellivision Inc.'s products looked cheap and flimsy. I totally agree. The production quality of the early Mattel games was decent. The gatefold boxes and full color manuals really looked nice. It's a shame they only did 10 of the manuals that way. atariage.com/forums/gallery/image/9530-original-10-usa-full-color-manuals/ My main display of games doesn't include any of the Intellivision Inc era games. Those were sort of a fun scavenger hunt on the side and now reside on their own shelves. The Backgammon cart sort of became my white [labeled] whale and I'm glad I found it before it destroyed me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Excellent question! I've actually had the box and manual for quite some time now. I got lucky on eBay many years ago, but it came with the green labeled cart. I've since been searching for the Intellivision Inc cart, but have only seen a few and was recent outbid on one Humblejack recently passed his on to me. Very glad to see you finally completed that Backgammon since I ruined your opportunity last time. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Do you have a non shrinkwrapped CIB version ? No, not now, I had 1 but sold it already sort of (sold the cart, donated the box and still have the instructions). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Wow, nice find, looks mint. It is damn near perfect. I was shocked at the condition this was in when I opened the package. Too bad it's not a white label and didn't come with a box. Not sure if either was made for Word Fun or if this was baggie only from Intellivision Inc.

Humblejack Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) I think the B&W instructions only came in a baggie. I have the Tron SS Baggie and traded my Space Battle baggie to Cmart back in 2014. I had 2 Tron SS but sold or traded one and still have one. The baggie is different than the others so I think it has been resealed but I keep it anyway, hmmmm ebay fodder? Edit: Odd, USA manual and Hong Kong cart! I do have the B&W manual also.

+intvsteve Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Off the top of my head, JasonLikesINTV first came across this, but no white label and no box has been found. I think similar may be the case for Checkers and Frog Bog, but memory's hazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think similar may be the case for Checkers and Frog Bog, but memory's hazy. Correct on all counts. You might have the only Frog Bog manual, though. The search continues! I never thought we'd be up to 3 WF manuals, so there's hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I don't collect B&W manuals or Intellivision Inc. items. Word Fun was just included in a lot that I won. So if someone needs it they can PM me, otherwise it's going on eBay with the Tron Solar Sailer B&W manual set I have as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
