Are the II Shark Shark overlays all paper? I’m curious as I just picked up a copy with II overlays. I haven’t received it yet, but they didn’t look like paper on the listing.

The one currently for sale on Ebay has Mattel’s overlays, the only place where I’ve seen them so far is on Intvfunhouse… I would expect, for the boxed II games, also the II overlays.. So, may be, one day the Backgammon ones will pop out! II Math Fun overlays do exist. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 The paper Shark Shark II overlays are neat... Ive never seen them before, not even a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the paper version signify an earlier version? (...where they switched to plastic later). That seems to make more sense since the paper ones are almost non existant. Not down-playing the white out copyright plastic variant. Those are very rare as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Most recent pickup. Only need a couple more of these. They should be easier to find than this one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think most of the Intellivision Inc Shark! Shark! overlays are the plastic ones. The paper ones with the greenish background are really rare. I've only seen a few sets. International Shark! Shark! Was the hardest, most expensive, and last one for me of the set. The others seem pretty common, relatively speaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Fun Fact: Even as the international Shark! Shark! version was available in Germany there was also the US version with additional German instructions around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnibro Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Got a really decent price on a composite modded 2609, and along with it came 4 Ken Smith autographed cartridges. I'm not a big autograph guy, but interesting to get as a bonus. If anyone wants to trade for em, I'm up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of typed German instructions, I know Mike has a fair amount of them. I think I just have Tarmin myself and I'm pretty sure Mike gave it to me.

EdgeOfPortal Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Speaking of German instructions... Got my German Aquarius manuals in. No computer to go with it, but this is a good start. Won them for pretty cheap but shipping to the states was less than pleasant. Edited March 29, 2022 by EdgeOfPortal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how I seem to able to convince myself that the ridiculous shipping I pay on some stuff, especially from Europe, "doesn't count" as I justify the purchases.

Never seen it either, before winning it. Here's both sides: As you can see there's quite a lot of text on the back. Not sure what it says though, can't read German. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro-Mash On the text side its the usual computer mambo jambo. The Aquarius helps with the school work and finance stuff. Play games or write your own.

Omnibro Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Scored the Hong Kong version of Vectron finally. It's a super pristine copy. For some reason this version has eluded me for a long time. Happy(?) to feed my stupid variation addiction.
