Intellivision worth getting?

[pimpmaul69]

Well I got this lot off eBay. It all works. $58. I do alright?

you did alright. The atari joystick wont work on it though. Unless you get a system changer for the atari games and have someone like me mod that particular system to be able to use that system changer. A light scrub with a damp mr clean magic eraser will remove the rest of the gold off of the lettering if you want your system to look clean. I did it on mine so it doesnt look crappy now.

I'm considering one just to play Christmas carol vs the ghost of christmas presents . After listening to the intellivisionaries podcast with the programmer and how much he loves this game I really want to play it.

 

Awww... You know, it's not the same, but you can play it on emulation for free. At least you get to check it out. I hope you enjoy it.

For some of the games you should read the instructions. You can find scans here if you're missing any < http://kentrepairs.com/General/Intellivision.asp>.

Saw this on ebay and I made the purchase.

 

 

 

Probably from someone on atariage.

I didn't realize you were the programmer that I was listening to on the intellivisionaries podcast until I looked at your profile. I really enjoy christmas themed games, especially for older consoles. Thanks for your hard work and patience! This looks like a great game! I hope to compete in a high score contest if there is going to be another one this year. I look forward to playing the sequel if you decide to make one. Edited November 4, 2015 by adamchevy

You scored a great deal - even with the two doorstop/paper weight carts. You'll know which ones I'm referring to once you play them.

Yes, that was my nerdy, overzealous self in that interview. I hope you get a chance to play the game and enjoy it. I also love Christmas-themed games.

 

There will be another Carol vs. The World! Championship this year, as per tradition, so I hope to see you there.

Will this be the year that Rev and I actually post scores? (And in doing so officially lose to a number of sub 10 year old children)

We can't beat ten year olds with very little time on the Inty so what makes you think we could beat you? 😂

Well, I would love to join this tradition.. but the sadness of not owning a copy of this game... oh how I wonder if Santa and the elves can leave one under my tree this year.....

I hope! Here's a thought: How about if I create a "kiddy-pool" category so that you guys can waddle your feet without too much risk of getting splashed over by the big boys?

 

Seriously, everybody should post at least one score. It doesn't hurt, and it can get you a patch (or a certificate of achievement).

Get the ROM, it's free:

It comes pre-packaged with an emulator and everything. No excuses.

In cmart's defense, some of those little kids really bust a move in the championship!

I picked up a CIB copy a couple months ago, I'm definitely in for the Carol contest this year.

 

Glad to see a couple more Inty fans too, looks like you both did quite well.
