Wanted: Intellivision Pacman, Defender, Kool-Aid Man and Worm Whomper

[townparkradio]

As per the topic... we just recently got into the Intellivision on a whim and... well.. we love it. Amazing system. We're looking for Pac-Man. Defender, Kool Aid Man, and Worm Whomper to get together what I feel is a "complete" collection for me.

 

In trade we have an extra.. let's see.. Atlantis, Demon Attack.. White Water, Stampede, Beauty and the Beast, and Beamrider. all of the above are loose and with no overlays except for Stampede, and White Water has the box, manual and overlays.

 

I also have a Tropical Trouble I might be talked into parting with, though I can't say if that means anything in real trade value. If none of the above interest anyone who has those games.. well.. there's always good old cash. Thanks for looking at our wanted list. I believe I also would part with my TG-CD It Came From the Desert, not horribly rare but also not entirely common.

P.S.

 

...my wife also tells me there exist Parker Bros. games for the system, but I don't know what all they released so can only say... I dunno what we'd want? Zaxxon? Except that's not Parker Bros. Probably Sega. Ahh well. For a guy who knows so much about C-64, Amiga and 2600, I sure know very little about what's shaping up to be the favorite of the old systems, even if it is just the "inferior" Inty II.

Thank you. And I do know I could have just googled up the information, but it's more fun to get answers from other actual players. That's a good site you linked me to.

Welcome to the INTV! I'd suggest spending some time browsing our little section of AA if you haven't already, lots of great info as well as a few threads with great game suggestions. How many different INTV games do you have total? Maybe you could post a list and we might be able to suggest some other highlights that you don't yet have. The four games you seek are uncommon to semi-rare, are you looking for loose or CIB? The White Water CIB would have some trade value, it would be comparable to Pac Man or Kool Aid Man which generally isn't considered a very good game, although it is hard to find CIB with a nice box. Defender and Worm Whomper CIB can cost a bit more, lately Worm Whomper CIB can go above $100 although you occasionally see it for less.

 

As for Parker Brothers, Qbert isn't badly done at all, it and Frogger are fairly easy to find, Popeye and Star Wars are uncommon but not crazy expensive, and Super Cobra and Tut had very limited release and both fall in the top ten rarest INTV games and routinely fetch $150+ CIB, with Tut the rarer of the two, although for me, Super Cobra is the best of the Parker Bros INTV games.

 

As for the INTV2 versus the numerous versions of the INTV1, I like them both, the easy solution is to buy yourself an INTV1 as well, hopefully in a package that includes some of the games you're missing. Personally the Tandyvision is my favourite INTV1.

Oh gosh. It'd be quicker to list what I don't have, or at least it might generate more fun discussions. In fact, here's such a list, with commentary, thanks to the emulator I found having a complete games list:

 

All of the homebrews (Stonix, 4-tris and whatnot)

Astrosmash - Have it on my 2600

Blockade Runner - don't even know what it is.

Body Slam Pro Wrestling (very nice I heard but stupidly hard to find)

Brickout - which I hear wasn't actually released?

Buzz Bombers - Don't have and don't want

Carnival - Doesn't work on my system anyway

Checkers - Nice to have, not crucial.

Championship Tennis - The wife and I enjoy the far earlier Tennis game, but... not really crucial

Chip Shot Super Pro Golf - Is on my want list

Congo Bongo - Never liked it on any system I've ever played to date. Doubt the Inty will change that.

Commando - Wow. Looks amazingly fun, almost up there with the C-64 version.

Defender - The more I play Nova Blast the more I wonder if I actually DO want Defender. The controllers.. really aren't right for this kinda game.

Dig Dug - Was actually the very first video game I ever played, albeit the 2600 version.

Diner - My wife likes Burgertime, I figure she'd like Diner

Donkey Kong - Doesn't work on my system, and looks bad, too

Dragonfire - Eh. I'll pass

Electric Company games - Same deal.. not interested

Fathom - never heard of it

Frog Bog - surprised I don't already own

Happy Trails - Doesn't look fun.

Hover Force - Got it on Microsoft'a Game room, it does look like the kidna tihng I'd like to own but.. not easy to find.

Ice Trek - don't know enough about it to judge.

Jetsons - Eh. don;t have an ECS

Kool-Aid man - I know it's an awful game but... I'm a child of the 80's... so do I want it? OH YEAH.

League of Light - Never heard of it.

Loco-Motion - Looks like.. well.. Happy Trails

Mind Strike - Again, never heard of it.

Motocross - As a big fan of Racing Destruction Set, I think I might be interested in this earlier effort

Mouse Trap: Never heard of it. A take on the board game?

"Assorted Sports games" - Missing Super Pro versions of Hockey, Basketball, and Volleyball

Pac-Man - It's Pac man! I want to own it for every system I ever own! Heh.

PGA Golf - Inferior golf game I hear, so I'll just seek out Chip Shot

Pinball - What little I played of it was really REALLY fun

Pole Position - I hear bad things.

Popeye - Is the Inty's any good? If so... kinda want

Q-Bert - So my wife cna beat me at it on another system!

Reversi - Eh. If it's cheap

Robot Rubble - I hear this was never actually released but was fun.

Scooby Doo - Agian, no ECS

Santa's Helper - ?? I love Christmas games but.... what IS this?

Sewer Sam - I hear I'm not missing much not having it

Shark! Shark! - Played it before at a friends ohuse as a child. Loved it!

Stadium Mud Buggies - I had it on my NES. my desire to own it on the Inty is.. well.. not worth the price it costs.

Empire Strikes Back - thought I had this. I don't. My wife's a BIG Star Wars nut. She hates it when I call her that, because she feels the need to instantly correct me saying she is a "skinny" Star Wars nut, thank you very much. I can see why... female Star Wars fans do tend to resemble Jabba though they tend to dress like Leia. *shudders* Never going to another fan con no matter HOW much I love my wife.

Super Cobra - That's.. good on every system I've ever played it on before.

Super Masters - Never heard of it

Thin Ice - it's on the list, but not crucial

Turbo - meh

Chess - Can;t ever find it anywhere.

Vectron - Dunno what it is

Venture - Doesn't work on Inty 2.

 

Mmmm... thanks for reading my long boring post! Lol

This is great stuff, not boring at all. I think you need to start a new thread in the INTV section entitled something along the lines of "New to INTV, this is what I don't have, tell what I want/need" and copy and paste your list and you'll likely get a number of opinions, some of them actually helpful and coherent. Do that at your convenience and we'll get you an INTV future games to own list.

Will do! And for the record, I don't care about boxes and whatnot. So if it's you who's interested in a CIB White Water I'd be happy even with a sloppy loose Pac-Man.

I probably would be but first let's have you post in the other and see if anyone else is interested as I tend to end up getting everything.

Turns out the White Water has the manual, but no box or overlays.

I happened upon Pac-Man for a decent price and got it, for anyone keeping track of me.
