If you are not after CIB, I have a Frogs and Flies Atari black and blue label cart and instructions you can have for just the shipping cost. PM me if you want it.

Sinjinhawke Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Was out grocery shopping today and popped into a random video store in an area I have not been to before. As soon as you go in the door I saw this Tandyvision One that looked like it needed a good home. My first Tandyvision. Everything seems to be working perfectly. Even my cart of Missile Domination that seems to have issues on my regular Intellivision works perfectly here. Shame they didn't have the box but I am still pleased. This is my new main unit. The original, the INTV II and the Sears are close by if needed. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anything about the TI but always thought they were slick looking with a great voice module. Soldered a pass-through wire on to the voice module so I didn't need to buy a separate power supply for the ram upgrade. Still a newbie at the TI99/4a but it's fun exploring the library.

+Steve Jones Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The TI was my first computer and the only system I collect for as well as the Intellivision, though just the games. I don’t need the educational programs. There is a healthy homebrew game scene for TI too, including Borzork, a Berzerk port by our Intellivision guru, Oscar Toledo G.

That's proof cool stuff is still out there. The pandemic lockdown made me try to find stimulating places beyond just my home and the local grocery stores. I started looking for places that were farther away and have nice running trails. Just happened to be a store there that I had never been to. They also had an Intellivision 2 for $200. Didn't even have the red stripe. Don't understand why they want more than double the price for the Intv II. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the port of Super Mario for the F18 add-on. It's jaw dropping. I may splurge for that down the road. I have an Atari 800xl that I have decked out with DVI video, 1mb ram, Fuji-net for wifi and a multi-cart so now starting to look at the TI upgrades that exist. These retro machines with their modern upgrades can be such a rabbit hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humblejack Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 It has already started on ebay. Missile Command for Amico. Only $69.99 I think I'll just got to the website and order all 4 games in this pack for $79.99 + Shipping if I wanted this game. I have already ordered the 8 pack. So at this rate it would cost $559.96 for all 8 games. What a bargain. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115053129238?hash=item1ac9b36e16:g:nNIAAOSwr4BhbhWT 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some gameplay I did find the left controller was struggling with maintaining motion with the left disc movement. Tried cleaning the mylar but did not work. Fortunately I have some spare mylar so we are good. Replacing Intellivision mylar is not super easy. Those things need to be positioned perfectly or you get some funky responses. Takes some real finger dexterity to get things positioned correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trick for me is to also clean the contacts of the Mylar to the coiled cable connection. Even though it looks ok, oxidization occurs and residue builds up and affects proper connection. I use a scotch bright pad on those connectors very gently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mylar in my Sears were worn right through on the disc so I trashed those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
