The auction mislabeled it as Colecovision. How do I tell if mine are for Colecovision or for my Intellivision. Mine have the straight db9 plug. I thought that they were for the Coleco?

The intellivision one has a bent plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I normally stay away from releases that didn’t hit the US shelf, but I saw a copy of Dames (checkers) that seemed like a decent price and grabbed it. How difficult are Dames and Draughts to acquire? Can’t say I see them on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterSky Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 This is mine. I don't know if the sticker "for use with Intellivision I & II" on the box means a second version of the controller with the bent plug while the first version has a straight plug.

In the instructions is shown how you detach the cables and replace it with cables that you can use with the Inty I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shipped with the bent cable but someone could have swapped the cable with the Sears Intellivision controller cable that is straight. .

It looks like they are for the Colecovision. The cable exits the back of the controller Thanks for the manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDumer Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Since it came up on the eBay thread, I thought I'd share the 2 games that arrived in the mail today: Super happy to get these, and in nice shape! I remember long ago reading Cmart and Rev's thread on their top-30 variants and drooling over pics of Bomb Squad and B-17. Interesting to look at that thread now and see the first item is the Bandai games which, it sounds like, Cmart just completed the subset. And just today I bought the Intellivision Inc. Math Fun off of eBay. I try not to buy from the US due to exchange and shipping, but I bit the bullet on this one. This work from home thing had better end soon because I'm spending way more on Inty games than I ever did going out to local shops!

Atari_Bill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Not Intellivision, but still related (Mattel Electronics). Anyone ever come across these Burgertime items before? After picking them up I did a little research and these were apparently included in certain packaging for the Mattel handheld Burgertime game. The second photo I pulled from the handheld museum page. It looks like there were actually four. Shame I’ll never find the hot dog. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nice! I think there are two versions -- what's the part number on this one? IIRC I've only managed to keep one. The other is most likely lost, along with the Sears one I had (but that's easier to replace, I've found). IIRC @colormesticky had a pretty interesting one posted up here awhile back.

+intellivotion Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 They made those small changes, but forgot to correct the upside down (fake) screen shot of Sea Battle. As usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
