The Intellivision Computer adapter or the system Changer to play 2600 games???

ive seen a couple of adapters (and own one), but ive never seen a computer expansion.

I've only seen one computer expansion ($12 in a thrift 3 years ago)

and one system changer ($5 boxed in a thrift 1 year ago).

Bought them both of course. You know, I've still never seen a

CV steering wheel (or a vectrex, boo-hoo).

Figures.

 

I've never found either of the Intellivision pieces out in the wild (although I did acquire the computer in a trade and have it for sale in MarketPlace), but I've found tons of CV Driving Controllers.

If had the option to buy the system changer or the computer adapter which one should I buy first?

IMO, system changer is pretty redundant if you already have an Atari 2600. The computer module allows you to play the 6 or 7 INTV games that require it. I'd go for the computer module (especially since I'm selling one )

I'd choose the Computer Adaptor, and here's why:

 

World Series Baseball. One of the best Intellivision games out there and the first (contrary to so-called "expert" videogame sites) to feature play-by-play commentary. Hitting was a little difficult at first, but all around an outstanding game.

 

I've also played Scooby, Jetsons, and Mr. Basic, but none of them jumped out at me. I have not played Mind Strike, but alot of people who have like it.

 

I've seen more Computer Adaptors on eBay than System Changers.

I'd say the computer adaptor as well. Although both are ultimately rather useless, at least the computer adaptor will allow you access to some extra games that you otherwise wouldn't be able to play.

 

However, I get the feeling you don't give a crap about the games, and are more interested in what's rarest...
