+atari2600land Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So I have Carnival here and it says "For use with Intellivision or Intellivision II." Seeing as how I only have an Intellivision II, I thought I'd try it. I read something about how Coleco games don't work with INTV IIs, but I thought perhaps this was an exception. Nope. Green screen. Did the people at Coleco not have an Intellivision II to try their games on? Perhaps they should have gotten one before they printed it can be used with one. I'm not mad or anything, I just thought it is stupidity on Coleco's part to print on the label that it works with an INTV 2 when in fact it doesn't.

+Rick Reynolds Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 That's kinda funny. Yep Carnival is known not to work on the Inty 2, but there is a patched rom available for it that works around that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Got a pic of the box? I thought later they put stickers on saying NOT compatible w/ Inty II.Supposedly it's possible that copies sold in Europe were fixed - ironic since Inty II was never released there.

+Lathe26 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have a similar Carnival (i.e. claims it is compatible) that has the same results when you plug it into an Intellivision II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've seen the claim it works on Intellivision II on the manual, and the cartridge label, but not the box. But yeah, what a screw-up, to get all those printed and then find out the games don't work. As those boxes were seemingly made of tissue paper, it's unsurprising that the remains people still have have a high likelihood of being plain wrong about that.

I will test the CBS games on my Inty II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Certifiable Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've never gotten any of the 4 Coleco games that say they work with Intellivision II on the box to actually work in one either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Oooookay, CBS carts not even fit physically into a Intellivision II. The carts have these additional bars inside the slot and the Inty II has a horizontal bar. That prevents that the cart fits complete in the slot.

freewheel Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The worst games for the system combined with the worst hardware version. A recipe for enjoyment! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+atari2600land Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I never thought about the box these originally came in. I didn't get a box with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 How does that fit in an Intellivision 1, even? if a system 1 cant play a coleco game there is a problem worse than the pin connector. I have never had a pin connector so bad that it could not play a coleco game. Then again i dont live somewhere where there is a rust problem like Some of the systems you have pics of.

intvnut Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) With an Inty 1 it fits quite perfectly. What I'm saying is that if those ribs stick out far enough to hit the clip 'early' on the Intellivision 2, preventing proper insertion, then they should also hit the PCB in the Intellivision 1 'early' causing a similar problem. You can definitely see some wear on those ribs where they hit the PCB on the Intellivision 1. Edited February 7, 2015 by intvnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
