+intvsteve Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Cuttlecart wouldn't run cassette games. You'd need to rig up a way to have them come in via an audio input - likely some hacking of the hardware itself involved. You could then play them via .wav file on your PC. In other words, it's similar in basic concept to software on cassette for the ECS or other systems of the era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Oh well, if I had time and money I could make it work. Be great to have one of these "Blue Whale" Master Components…but, very unlikely for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 ...including a Sears Backgammon Missed that when I saw the listing on ebay. Gotta learn to check ALL the pictures! Good luck if you're trying to pick this up to get the backgammon. It's probably going to go for some $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) The pink/purple one is the APBA Backgammon standard one (most common). I think the green one is the Hong Kong Sears version. I'm actively looking for the white one for my Intellivision Inc copy. I'll the to take some pics later.The green cart label with white lettering (Hong Kong) is the variant used in the Sears (Hong Kong) Backgammon game. The same cart is used in the French Canadian Backgammon. http://www.intvfunhouse.com/mattel/cart/abpa-001.jpg Edited June 17, 2014 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Cuttlecart wouldn't run cassette games. You'd need to rig up a way to have them come in via an audio input - likely some hacking of the hardware itself involved. You could then play them via .wav file on your PC. In other words, it's similar in basic concept to software on cassette for the ECS or other systems of the era. The Keyboard Component tapes were even more complicated than that. They had 4 tracks: 1 read-only digital (code), 1 read-write digital (data), 1 read-only analog (pre-programmed voice or music), and 1 read-write analog (audio recordings). Further, some of the tapes required the BASIC cartridge to be plugged in. It might be possible to get a tape that only had code (the read-only digital track) to run from the Cuttle Cart. It may require someone to dump the BASIC cartridge for the tapes that require it. The reason for the word "might", even in this constrained scenario, is that it is fairly likely that tapes and/or the BASIC cartridge also access other hardware (besides RAM or ROM) that only exists on the Keyboard Component. If so, then even this wouldn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Wow, I never thought these would appreciate like this: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 221461769095 Nice sale, R hey! ebay stalker! lol.....its all good. not too hard to figure out is it...... but yeah, i was thinking 10 or 20 bucks an a penny auction with no reserve and free shipping. the only reason i sold it was that I didnt have a cart for it............ i would of thought everyone would of bought one that wanted one.....it is possible some of the bidders are from AA! Ill never tell. but there was no "shill" bidding, I assure you, this was a real sale.....well, as long as the top bidder pays that is. i can only imagine what it would of sold at if the half cut cart was included.........I only have 4 "CIB" (w/cart) HB games left......and they are staying in my collection! I wonder if elektronite has any of these left? hint hint Edited June 17, 2014 by revolutionika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wow, I never thought these would appreciate like this: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 221461769095 Nice sale, R Really? I can't say I'm too surprised. Anything with the Intellivision name escalates in price almost immediately it seems. I still contend (although others debate this on other boards) that the Intellivision has the strongest and most loyal fan base of any of the retro collectors. I mean how many other retro collectors do you see debating over say made in hong kong vs USA, box style, or even something like tray vs no tray!

Uzumaki Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 They did come shrinkwrapped on the inside. But the box looks like some fat kid used as a stepping block to reach for 2600 games on the top of the shelf at game store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It's not complete. Missing Spiker, LF2, Stadium Mud Buggies, Worm Whomper.... I think we decided a while back that this was worth like $1100-1500 max. I added it up (I think earlier in this thread) months ago. To lazy to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Yeah, someone guesstimated it was worth only ~$1100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Every time I see that auction it pisses me off. Mostly because of the "126 " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) It's not complete. Missing Spiker, LF2, Stadium Mud Buggies, Worm Whomper.... They list LF2, Stadium Mud Buggies and Worm Whomper in the description, but I suppose $5,000 isn't enough monies to warrant taking a few extra pics. Also, he's doing you a favor by not including Spiker: "To keep the cost of this listing down to make it a bit more affordable, Spiker! Super Pro Volleyball IS NOT included purposefully, this is because it is the most condition specific game and individuals who seek out this game can spend up to a few thousand for a nice example. So obtaining Spiker that fills your individual needs are up to you! Enjoy!" Edited June 21, 2014 by JasonlikesINTV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Since this lot is still being talked about, I finally looked a little closer at this lot... The "126" comes from: Match5, sealed, serial #006 A spare Skiing which is listed separately from US Ski Team Skiing Based on eBay prices for each item sold individually, this lot would be worth $2100. That said, buying a lot in bulk involves discounts. I haven't done the math to see what the average eBay bulk discount is, but I'd be ok with saying it's ~50%. Given that, then this bulk lot would be worth $1100. I wasn't expecting my estimate to come out the same as the $1100 someone else posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Too bad we can't view previous offers. Used to be able to see what the offers were some years ago and would have had an idea what was the highest rejected offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Viewing sellers other items related to this listing) I can't wrap my head around it actually.. but people are buying them?! When I'm on the road the only thing I miss is a couple of my favourite restaurants (and servers), and maybe my brand of smokes. The listings are displayed quite nicely. 'Now I got the fever for the flavour of a'….. oh wait, that's Pringles. http://images2.fanpop.com/image/polls/390000/390031_1267625369906_full.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
