The Intellivision prize thread. Post 1000 wins fabulous gifts!

[Intymike]

Thought we would have moved well passed 250 by now!

 

done!

[DZ-Jay]

Thought we would have moved well passed 250 by now! Can't the header be changed to say 500 & not 100? Might help speed things up?

 

Perhaps we should play the song game. That thread is over 700 posts long, and has about a handful of participants...

 

Just sayin'...

I want that prize. It would be a nice addition to my collection.

 

Is it a rare collectable Vectrex cartridge, right?

[Rev]

I dont have any vectrex stuff.....

 

 

[nanochess]

C'mon everyone, we are halfway to the 500th post

Vectrex is cool one you fix the audio hum. This is another system where I made a custom digital controller. Well actually I have like 10 or so custom controllers for various systems. they all look the same but have different internals.

 

I like Time Pilot and Scramble the best.

Someday, I will track down a Vectrex. Aquarius first, though....and it should be soon :-)

I have 3 Vectrexes. Just sayin.

beaten once again - I own only one...

 

[+cmart604]

Lol! Sometimes I need a break from collecting Intellivsion variants, which is why I have complete Vectrex, and 7800 collections, and need one game to finish off my Aquarius collection.

I had 5, but sold 3 at portland retro gaming expo, so now I only have 2

Pics or it didn't happen

[JasonlikesINTV]

So in an attempt to speed this thread up a bit, I'm going to post some pics of my non-Intellivision collectibles. I have some other systems and collectible items I'm going to show off. Feel free to discuss or show pics of your other collectibles as well. The faster we can get this thread moving, the faster I can get my 500th post prize

 

To start off, here are some pics of my very modest ColecoVision collection. Enjoy!

Happy fathers day everyone

wouldnt it had been better to make different converter boxes and use only 1 controller? you could have even added a potentiometer knob to the one controller for 2600/7800 5200 and vectrex

I have been thinking about doing that. Right now I have a PCB for Coleco. Beta PCB for Intv2/Sears will be here in Wednesday. 7800 and Vectrex I use proto board, but the circuits for those are super simple. Since the Coleco PCB works fine for Commodore 64 and Atari 2600, I'm all set there.

 

I was thinking of either making a controller with a thousand pin connector, or put some type of switch in there to select between different systems. Problem is some of these controllers don't offer +5 on the controller port, like Coleco and Intv2/Sears so this forces even the non-power systems like the Coleco PCB to require power (assumes I'm using a switching IC to select the inputs and outputs). Passive switch would just have too many contacts. Perhaps a 2014 project.

if you like what arrives in your package, just remember i can do very cheap coleco mods. av mods on coleco are a must. the coleco and the atari attachment produce crystal clear picture and perfect color with the composite mod. no atari 2600 av mod can even compete with it

i did think of this before posting my thoughts. i just dont like having an excessive amount of switches. my answer to my own problem is reverse and was solved with a modded wii. i have 1 box that i can plug controllers from every retro system up to a 3 button genesis controller. and they made a super nes classic controller for the wii. i just had to rewire some controllers or switched around the wires so they all have a 9 pin d sub cord on them. i live minimal but love using the original controllers. some i cant use like the intv controller and i dont have ability to use keypads but its what i gotta do to live as a minimalist. i keep all my old systems packed up in rough totes in storage.

How much will he pay for post #500 to get that Sears collection LOL

After I get these Intv2 controllers built I was going to make and NeoGeo to Intv2 adapter, but then use Super Famicom (SNES) wired like NeoGeo with Db15 port and keypad would be built into top of adapter.

 

Component on CV looks good too, but I really like Matt's F18A VGA board, so I tend to use this CV the most.

 

When GB comes out with video mod for Intv that will be awesome.

is that the one that is impossible to get now?

I have 3 Vectrexes. Just sayin.

 

I have 2 CIB Vectrex Unit. One of them is really MINT (box, etc.)

 

But do you have the ultra rare cart "Mine Storm 2" ? You can find one on ebay here

Which Aquarius game do you need to finish your collection ?

 

 

 

I had 5, but sold 3 at portland retro gaming expo, so now I only have 2

 

And do you have the games ? I need Polar Rescue and Pole Position (and 3D games) to finish the collection..
