whaler23 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I got a long way to go before I hit 125! I just wanted to thank the members of the forum and the Intellivision community for the wonderful content and knowledge you share that has made it easy for me to once again enjoy playing the Intellivision. I got back into Intellivision this past August when my Dad passed unexpectedly. I found he had saved the original system and the 21 games we had played many years ago and it was still in working order. Playing them and collecting new games has brought back so many memories and been a cathartic experience for me. I’d like to eventually complete the collection as now I’m building Intellivision memories with my daughter. Looking forward to learning more from all of you here. thanks! whaler 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intellivotion Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Welcome! My best wishes for the 125. I suggest to keep an eye on the homebrew scene as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 With 61 games you have a lot of good and affordable games ahead of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Great to see posts like this! Thanks for sharing and glad you're enjoying the whole experience. I really enjoyed building up my Intellivision collection and part of me wishes I could experience it again. 125 is small compared to most game libraries, but there are so many decent games in there. I'm still working through playing all of them and I second mcrew's High Score Challenge suggestion. It's a nice opportunity to do more of a deep dive into each game.

whaler23 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Which 21 cartridges did you originally have. Which were your favourites. These are the 21 games we had originally: Advanced D&D Armor Battle Frog Bog Lock n Chase Nightstalker Sharp Shot Snafu Tron Maze-A-Tron Vectron Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack Astro Smash Space Armada Star Strike Auto Racing Major League Baseball Tennis Reversi Utopia Burgertime Donkey Kong Carnival Definitely played Burgertime the most. But Frog Bog is my earliest gaming memory. Also had lots of fun with Lock n Chase, Armor Battle, Snafu, Astro Smash, Space Armada, Major League Baseball. Utopia too! The only game I could never figure out as a kid but learning now is Vectron. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler23 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thanks all for the welcome. I am going to head over and check out the HSC. Also looking forward to playing some homebrews! Amazing some of the videos of these games I've seen on youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have most of the "greatest hits" covered already so that's a great start. Are you collecting complete in box games or just going after the cartridges?

Are you collecting complete in box games or just going after the cartridges? CIB...I really like the box artwork and as a technical writer, I appreciate the manuals. My starting collection was all CIB. I don't think my Dad ever threw out a box :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Very nice. I asked just to gain some perspective on your collection. Some folks collect CIB, some carts, some roms. There are many versions of collections and all are valid. I enjoy hearing all the different takes people have on their own style of collecting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
