Intellinate Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So I picked up a copy of Blix today. Was it a cart only release? And I don't think I paid too much but what would be a reasonable price?

+BBWW Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Nice pick up. In theory only 30 made to sell at a Retro Gaming show. If you paid under $200 you most likely did well. LOL It was a cart only release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) WOW! EDIT: its normal price is about $400 Edited July 17, 2016 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellinate Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Where did you get it? It was released cart in baggie with a bacon dum dum treat. I picked it up at a little store called Gamer's Paradise in Las Vegas. I couldn't believe it when I seen it in their display case. Is the game itself any good or is it more of a collector's item?

+intvsteve Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Congratulations on a rare find! Blix was a loose cart only release. The main complaint people have regarding the game is that the sound isn't right on most consoles. Apparently it sounds "correct" on Intellivision II but sounds wrong on most other consoles. Because of this, the copies that were sold were actually all discounted $5 at the show. Gameplay wise, it's like this one: http://www.games-games.com/games/puzzles/blix/blix.htm You can find plenty of other versions online, too. The "controversy" was that it was limited to 30 copies at CGE 2014. As such, it's naturally highly sought by people who want a complete collection. The story behind why it was strictly limited is probably here or somewhere else online, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So the million dollar question remains...... What did you pay for it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellinate Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 One way to find out. The only problem is I don't have my Intellivision with me and it'll be 2 weeks before I head back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellinate Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) If you really want to know what I paid for it. It was $10 to $15 more than the original price. Attached the picture that was supposed to be in the original post. Edited July 17, 2016 by Intellinate 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_intv Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I've visited that store in Vegas a couple of times. I find some goodies in there each time I've been there. I'm pretty sure I've seen a boxed Christmas Carol in there before. Is the pinball hall of fame still next door? That's a great place to visit too, nothing to fancy but it's loaded with awesomeness!

+Lathe26 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Good find! Personally, I like the game. It is a simple puzzle game that gets a little challenging. The sound is terrible, but you can use the disc on the controller to lower the volume 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Las Vegas a place where you win or you lose? This time you have won. That's sure! Congrats! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I've been to Gamer's Paradise too! Prices were higher than I was willing to pay, but they had a nice MAME/emulation setup for customers to play. I noticed they had a surprising number of Emerson Arcadia 2001 games.
