+atari2600land Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hi, I just got home with an Intellivision, a voice module, and 31 games for $40. The games are: Adv. Dungeons and Dragons Armor Battle Astrosmash Atlantis Auto Racing B-17 Bomber Bomb Squad Beauty & the Beast Bowling Boxing Burgertime Electric Co. Math Fun Frog Bog Golf Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack Lock 'n' Chase MLB Mission X NBA Basketball Night Stalker Pac-Man Pifall Sea Battle Space Armada Space Hawk Space Spartans Star Strike Sub Hunt Triple Action Utopia Vectron Just wondering if I have anything rare here and whether it was a good deal.

+intvsteve Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Great deal, though nothing rare. Very nice selection of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Not a bad pick-up for the price. All of the games are common and worth only $0.50-1.00 each except for Pac-man, which is worth $4-8. Is it the Atarisoft (pink label) or the INTV version (white label with black lettering)? Both are comparable in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 It's the Atarisoft one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 They were all loose, but most of them have the manuals and controller overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y-bot Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I watched someone buy an Intellivison II in front of me at a flea market today. Didn't see what came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see what came with it. in some states if you watch something bad happen and you dont try to stop it you commit a crime. think about that next time you let someone buy intellivision hardware in front of you and you do nothing to stop it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nice pickup, perhaps Pac Man and Mission X are the rarest ones of the lot. However, you got extremely nice games for playing. Most of the classics are there. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I'll be more careful next time. What if that someone else was the person who posted this thread?

+Gemintronic Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 What is the best INTV to get? What makes the Intellivision II worse? Is it really cheap both inside and out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certifiable Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The hand controller side buttons on the Inty II are a joke, your fingers will cramp up after using them long enough. They have barely any tactile feedback so you'll find yourself pressing the sh!t out of them... It also has a sound glitch that prevents some game audio from working properly, I know Shark! Shark! is one of the games that sounds different- And then there's the whole Coleco game deal, I don't even think the ones marked as being compatible with it actually work on it- It sounds like I don't like it but I do, I like its looks/smaller footprint/detachable controllers and LED enough that it's my platform of choice... IMO the best INTY is the Sears console, it has the detachable controllers with longer/straighter wires and the hand controller side buttons feel just like the original ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the look / size of Intellivision II, but the controllers are shite. Side buttons are terrible, and it's rare to find an Inty II w/ controllers that have intact keypads. Most of them are cracked. I think I have an unused one that's got cracked keypads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y-bot Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I was looking at the NES games when you picked up the Inttellivision. I never saw it when it was for sale. I ended up buying all the Nintendo Power magazines, the mini SNES and the Looney Tunes glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up buying all the Nintendo Power magazines, the mini SNES and the Looney Tunes glasses. That must be because I had already payed for it and the guy held it for me behind the table. That was a whole lot of NP magazines, what are you going to do with them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I bought them to sell at shows. A friend was just asking me for some early issues so I'll sell a few to him for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
