Loafer Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 This has been a good phoenix related week: - got Oscar's Colecovision book in. Quite excellent to read up on those classic games again and the book itself is printed at a pretty high quality! - Got PBoland's controller overlay repros. Man, talk about quality work! Never two without three. Ugh I hate that old saying for personal reasons but that is surely a sign that in the next couple of weeks, I think we will see the magic post that will say "shipping has started!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+GoldLeader Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I am really Happy about this! And it's at least a little bit odd as I'm not an Early Bird. To me $100 is a LOT of $$$$. Strangely, at this point in my life,...I had to Save and Save just to get the regular one I have all these important bills and crazy other expenses going on in my life,...And Well, This is the FUN one! Every once in a while I even feel stoked, just like I did back in AUG. of '82 when I ordered my Original ColecoVision! Keep up the Good Work!!

+eebuckeye Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Intellivision is great but I hope the Adam computer is soon! I might buy another with the Adam theme. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I would LOVE to see an intv core. That along with the obvious Adam and MSX cored due to the shared architecture will ensure we have lots to play for a long time to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 AtGames' Intellivision Flashback controllers use DB9 connectors. Is there any chance that they could work on the CollectorVision Phoenix, in conjunction with an Inty core? That alone would be a good reason to track down an Inty Flashback on eBay, given that these controllers are brand new compared to the aging controllers of the original Inty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original INTY's are reason enough, I'm afraid. New INTY flashbacks are really rare. There is only one new one on eBay now and it is $199 opening bid. ...and here's amazon's: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00QSFGOF6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1977 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I'm really intrigued by this console, i've got a ColecoVision that i've just managed to get working but i've also got an Intellivision and a 2600, but I must admit they do take up a lot of room, a console like this could be just what i'm looking for I can see it plays original CV games, but how does it play 2600 games though? Would my module 1 have to be plugged into it? Any help will be appreciated making my mind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1977 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Brilliant, so at some point in the future i'd be able to do the same with Intellivision games, either from an SD card or from original carts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
