Definitely Super Pro.

[pimpmaul69]

And technically its intv iii. Seperate from what the intellivision iii was going to be.

Digimed? I never heard of that one.

[bradhig1]

Sears Tele Games Super Video Arcade looks interesting. Can't find anything on Youtube about Tutorvision.

[Humblejack]

At least this is what I call it based on the sticker on the back, but I have been know to be wrong. Here is the pics, if I'm wrong I am sure someone will tell me the errors of my ways.

Digiplay was Digimed in Brasil before changing their name. They also made or previously made medical equipment.

 

The Tutorvision was never released and only a few prototypes have been found. It's a slightly upgraded Intellivision and a couple of Intellivision games are incompatible. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/159201-intellivision-tutorvision-by-world-book/

 

Its better to say INTV System III or just INTV System rather than Intellivision III. The Super Pro System is identical to the INTV System III other than the top plate. As pimpmaul pointed out, one was made by INTV Corp the other was a planned upgraded system by Mattel Electronics, never released and no prototypes made.

 

GTE Sylvanias are the same as early 2609s made in USA and Tandyvisions should be the same as late 2609s; but it would be interesting to see if the sound chip is different in the Tandyvisions.

I've a Tandyvision, what specifically would need to be checked if the sound chip were different? Is it something heard through a particular game or only by removing the chip?

[mr_me]

The chip would say ay-3-8916 or ay-3-8914a like an Intellivision II. My understanding is that Tandyvisions were sold in 1983 like the Intellivision II. They might have ay-3-8914 like the original. Sound variations only affect a few games and are subtle. Try comparing shots and enemy explosions in Space Spartans. Someone isolated the sounds here for comparison but I can't find it now.

 

Edit:

And there is a Digiplay Intellivision II that can be added to the list above.

It's about time he does something.

If an Intellivision has the updated sound chip, it can be heard in Space Spartans for example. Intellivisionairies episode 28 at about 4:02:30 have the alien ship exploding sounds isolated for comparison. http://intellivisionaries.com/episode-28-space-spartans/ Edited July 22, 2017 by mr_me

Digiplay also had their version of the Intellivision II.

In addition to all the different brandings/model numbers, there were several revisions of the Intellivision main logic boards too. Some mainboards are green, some are light tan.

And you could add e local varients, adapted for different standards :

 

 

But this is a local modification so I dunno how much it count; the system works the same. I have one SECAM model and I cna play US Intellivoice games on it and it doesn't even appears to have glitchs.

Didn't know that the SECAM consoles were "factory modded" like the Peritel consoles.

[CatPix]

Yep, they are. It shows; unlike other systems, the Intellivision have a very clear RF picture. most other systems usually use a crappier generic RF block that produce a crummy picture.

CGV still exist, even, http://www.cgv.fr/ Not sure they remember ever working on the Intellivision, tho.

The different region/TV standard Intellivisions should all have different model numbers. Eg, the Australian PAL 50Hz Intellivision 1's are model 3668, while the USA 60Hz NTSC is 2609. Your SECAM model is model number 5156.

 

Within each model, there may be multiple revisions (or local mods) of the same board.
