+cmart604 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Mattel tried to buy back the Keyboard Components from their customers; did that include the software. That's a good question. ? I wouldn't think so but I don't think I've ever heard that spoken about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What I was talking about was how much of the software was made available? Like Cmart, I've never heard that spoken about before, so my guess is very, very, little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) I'd say its a number between 10 and 4000 (survival rate perhaps lower than Intellivision games). There were only three full graphic titles released for the Keyboard Component. Not sure how many people in the US wanted to learn French so a good percentage of KC owners might have bought Jack Lalanne. Intellivision Productions might have the sales numbers. Don't know if they would have the buyback numbers. Edited January 26, 2017 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He puts overlays up for sale but then makes an existential statement about his own existence. "I am not a very good photograph" is a very deep thought.

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 'Pinted in 2016'. Lol If the actual CBS logo and different font was used, it would have gone over a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 So I'm tempted to bid on this just for curiosities sake but then I started wondering "what are the odds only one set was printed?" Will more come up for sale? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 So it's the first time we see this stuff. What should we consider it? A bootleg? A homepinted? What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) That all said, it does look like an interesting set of overlays. They appear to be very nicely done. If I collected CBS variants, I'd want a set. Here are my designs based on the Coleco box art: Edited January 29, 2017 by the1hatman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
