None of it was in great condition and it was priced kinda high. Still a lot of rare variants for a single listing. Hi. It was me. I was missing Math Fun. I was also interested in Checkers in non-FCTVVO version but with color booklet and Sharp Shot with double label. I honestly didn't realize, that Snafu didn't have the word "Insert to this line". It was actually a bit of a madness this purchase ? .. plus the price with customs and shipping costs for Italy was very high.? It was time that I was mainly looking for Math Fun FCTVVO. Indeed, they are not all in good condition, ...patience. My hope is to be able to sell what I wasn't interested in, even Armor Battle FCTVVO and almost everything else, to be able to recover a part of the price paid, ... above all to convince myself ? that it was ... a semi / madness. ... and not a whole madness. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It clearly “looks” like there isn’t an inset line, but the title isn’t a launch title. And the box (trayless) is a newer style. It confused me more than anything. Weird. The last game I've seen with no insert line was Word Fun (16th Mattel game released 11/05/80). Snafu was early 20s and released 10/15/81. Maybe they still had a few boxes of smooth shells they were trying to use up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know if Snafu is "heavy", though I suspect it is light with the older cartridge shell. Also, I suspect your Armor Battle, Math Fun, and Checkers are heavy. The Poker & Blackjack and Space Battle don't have the insert line, so there's a slim chance they are heavy shielded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on finding the game you were searching for!. I'm happy it was someone from here that got it. If you had waited another 5-10 minutes, you would have lost the item.LOL. Good timing! When you get the parcel, please take better pictures of the SNAFU for us. It could just have been camera trickery. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 This listing for an "Intellivision 2" Power Supply: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254587094204 It's not OEM, but close to the same output. Says condition is New, but also says plug is damaged, but functional ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) But in all seriousness, it looks like there is a problem with bit 2 of the BACKTAB (in System RAM) or maybe GROM or something in between. That's why some letters are changed to a different letter that is +4 the original (ex: in Auto-Racing, the A became an E). It would be interesting to see the main game screen to see if GRAM is affected as well.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) My guess is that it's a Tutorvision XL. You can tell by the way it fonts ? Edited May 5, 2020 by JasonlikesINTV Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wasn’t planning on typing them out myself that’s for sure. I also hadn’t seen the Dutch manual, so that was interesting. At some point though I need to type out the programs in my Jouez Avec Aquarius book, as I don’t think those came with this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
