Sheldon SB Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I picked up an intellivision. Collect games work, but the original intellivision game give the green screen of death. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon SB Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I picked up an intellivision, and games like donkey Kong, donkey kong jr, and carnival all work and are playable. Unfortunately, original games like lock n chase, astrosmash, frog bog and poker and blackjack, give the green screen of death. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Rider Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Since Coleco games don’t use the EXEC, I’d bet it had something to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Probably NOT the "technical" answer anyone is looking for, but this thread does come up pretty quick in a google search. One thing you can try is to simply loosen the screws on the remotes, kinda "at random", retighten, leave slightly loose, etc(basically...just "screw around" with the screws...hehe). There's a pretty good chance that will get the green screen games going again. TBH, I was having that problem, and I just didn't want to grind thru taking it apart and breaking it down to where the controller connections are(I have before, it ain't fun...). So yeah, just piddle with the screws on your remotes, it may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superseth Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have just run into this issue with a Intellivision 1 console I just got in a lot. Its my first experience with any of these machines. Put in D&D, got it working ONCE but then after trying to play for a bit I turned it off to figure out how to install the control card. When I turned it on again I couldn't get past the starting green screen. Tried opening up the controllers, the console, swapping which is connected to which, shorting the first 2 pins etc, it is just stuck on that screen. Any ideas zombie thread friends?
