AtariTom99 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I bought some intellivision games today and these were in the box. I thought they were just games taken out of the shell, but the person I bought them from said they haven't been touched in years. He said his at her brought them home from work when he worked for Mattel. One is obviously a test cartridge, but I've never seen one like it. I have no clue what the other three are because I do not currently have a system. I was hoping someone would know what they are. I know it's a longshot, but if anyone knows, it'll be the folks here. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm afraid no one of these looks like a prototype. One is a Mattel Intellivision test cartridge and the other three are production games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariTom99 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ok, good to know. I saw the one had a soldered wire on it. Threw me off. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 The rom chips on the vegas cartridge has an early 1979 date. The Intellivision was test marketed in December 1979. I havent seen the inside of alot of intellivision cartridges but I can't see that wire being part of a production cartridge. Prototypes are usually on eproms. These might be pre-production cartridges before the Intellivision was test marketed. Some games were programmed in summer 1978. Poker & Blackjack might have been a little later. It would be worth checking out whats on these early cartridges. What are the games? I'm guessing one is Poker & Blackjack. Maybe there are some Rom variations.

+5-11under Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 What's the test cartridge worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) That wire is connected to the master clock signal of the cartridge port; is the other end connected to anything? I wonder what's on that cartrdige. The roms marked ro3-9504-x04 is LV Poker & Blackjack, there's at least two known rom variants. Anyone know what rom ro3-9504-x05 is? edit: there's something handwritten on the test cartridge label; can you make out what it says?

+cmart604 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 What's the test cartridge worth? Assuming it's working you could probably get at least $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
