+Lathe26 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 How do you tell the difference? I have ~8 PlayCable manuals and the overlays in the photo covers up the portion of the manuals that differentiate PlayCable manuals from normal manuals.

Royal Dealer, AD&D, Frog Bog, Math Fun....they're all less common color variations, so seeing them all in one lot usually means PC. My recommendation is to study the pics from the recent lot.

Could I ask a favour of those that own PlayCable manuals? Could you message me a list of the manuals and part numbers you own please (images work if you can't be bothered typing)? I'd like to try to build a list of the games broadcast and add it to the PlayCable Research and Development thread. Unfortunately the Voltron's attempt to do this back in 2013 seemed to peter out. Ahh, ignore me, the list is already on INTV Funhouse (as an aside, I think it is unlikely that either Bump 'N Jump or Master of the Universe were actually broadcast, as both games would need to have been cut up or cut down in order to fit into the PlayCable's 8K memory). I would still be interested if anyone other than CMart owns the PlayCable schedules, so we could reconstruct the dates on which games were broadcast. Assuming that all the titles in the auction highlighted were on PlayCable this would double the number of known 8K games broadcast to two (Motocross and Buzz Bombers). Thanks for any help. decle Edited December 18, 2019 by decle Actually look for resources before wasting people's time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 12k, vectron and pinball would be closer in size. Is there any evidence that a game was modified for playcable? Maybe the updated locknchase was on playcable. I guess the sports licenses, like tron, weren't allowed to be broadcasted; even though the instructions weren't broadcasted. The electric company wasn't a problem.

AND it comes with 3, yes 3, hard to find but well sort after blank 8-track tapes for that nearly impossible to find 8-track recorded you have stuck in the deep shadows of your nostalgia closet. Now I know these two things have absolutely NOTHING to do with each other...but hey... They were found at an estate sale and they're awesome! All for the low starting price of $90!! Whoo!
