freewheel Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 are we hunting collapsing Lupins here? I'm wondering how after all these years and soooo many variant obsessed collectors out there, no one's noticed the different GROM. I guess if true, this is proof that cmart never actually takes his stuff out of the packaging to, you know, play the actual games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So will you see that second screen with any game ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Would be good if someone knew serial number range or if older console could be modded Do you have video of the games in action? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) The serial number of one compatible system to start would be nice. edit: And any cartridge that uses the built in title screen should say "INTV Corporation presents" with a Tutorvision Exec. That means pretty much all the Mattel 'network' games (except Vectron). Edited September 25, 2017 by mr_me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The serial number of one compatible system to start would be nice. That would help for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them have not been tested. I will, however, now be trying out my Super Pro systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Isnt it possible to make them work on normal Intellivision consoles? If not I am not interessted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Isnt it possible to make them work on normal Intellivision consoles? If not I am not interessted. A normal Intellivision would require a modest amount of soldering and some new parts to become Tutorvision-compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I would be interested in the Tutorvision games if we find out how many Super Pro and Inty III systems are Tutorvision-compatible (i.e. how likely can I play the games). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retrogmr Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I would definitely purchase a set of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah, if someone has a tutorvision super pro system, post the serial numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So ow many Super Pro Tutorvisions have we identified? Like 5-10, 5-10%, or are we hunting collapsing Lupins here? Man,I really enjoyed paying extra for those Lupins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I would buy repro boxes, but not the games unless I can find a system to play them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Lol! True fact about my 100 systems. Some of them have not been tested. I will, however, now be trying out my Super Pro systems. If you do, and you have a working system for sale please let me know. At that point, I would love to purchase one so I could buy and play these games. Thank you! Wolfy62.......and soon to be 55! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 In answer to the original question I would buy one of each As a collector I am certain to purchase these however they come out. Nothing can change my collecting habits, or anyone elses at this point of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 After all the research I could handle for one day, I'm fairly certain that if these do exist, very few of the "standard" consoles would contain the WBEXEC. I highly doubt INTV was producing more than a handful of boards by the late 80s. It wouldn't surprise me if we're talking the low 100s in terms of Super Pros that had this board, which means maybe a dozen or so have survived and are accounted for by collectors at best. Especially because nowhere in years of variant collecting, screenshots, etc, has this rabid community ever once mentioned a different font on startup. I'm waiting to see even ONE of them from the local crowd before I accept this as anything more than a collapsing Lupin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I tested my Super Pro Systems (3504) tonight: SN: A 11244 (Nope) SN: A 7229 (Nope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 What we need is an upgrade service for the Sears Super Video Arcade. As that is the closest in color to the TutorVision. I would buy them. As I'm a colletor in way too deep already. LOL Can I paint 206 shells with vinyl paint and get couple of each in exhchange. I've got 2800 common carts left. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have extra Super Pro Tutorvisions, I would also be interested in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 If someone like joe makes the chips that are needed available i probably would do some for people. I would mod my sears unit too if it is possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mod my sears unit too if it is possible. That may be complicated to do since the Tutorvision has both a modified EXEC ROM and modified/enhanced video hardware. It's not impossible but it likely will be a tricker upgrade than the other upgrades we've seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 If you have extra Super Pro Tutorvisions, I would also be interested in one. just so were clear I dont have 100 Super Pros, I meant 100 total systems. I believe I only have 3 or 4 of them and I think theyre all box variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I would definitely support the release of these games just hoping that one of my two Super Pro Systems is compatible so I can actually play the games. If not I'm sure one of you smart tech people will be able to work up a mod in future. Would be great to see it compatible with Sears Telegames unit but that may be asking too much. Good luck on the project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This is the highest serial number for model 3504 A in the database and it's branded "INTV System III". A 171447 Canada Steve Jones I always thought that even if they were to use the same tutorvision mainboard in these Intellivisions there was a chance these boards might be jumpered to disable the extra gram. I'm not sure if there is such a jumper. And I'm not sure if they were aware of the incompatibility with extra gram; it affected very few cartridges. There also seems to be some evidence that some INTV systems had Intellivision II execs in them. I always wondered what that board looked like.
