Atari_Bill Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So I recently came into possession of a lot with a very early system box. Unfortunately the system doesnt match the SN on the box. The box is very interesting showing the pack in game as Major League Baseball. Also several game screens are very different than the original releases. I havent had time to get through the whole lot yet, but I did find a few surprises in the box. See the pics below for a couple faded documents. One mentions this as a test run system. The other seems to be a log for documenting system problems that might be experienced. Has anyone come across these before? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Beyond cool! Congrats on this pickup. Now 111 has a friend. I wonder if there are many more of this box out there. Super cool extra paperwork. Definitely those need to be scanned and preserved. ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Wow, that Auto Racing picture is completely different than the released game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In marker.How about a good photo of the back of the box. ----------- This is the first time I've seen that space battle screen shot. The auto racing screen shot was reused later for triple action in a pamphlet. What's the highest serial number out there with the baseball packin? And what's the lowest serial number with a poker&bj packin? Edited May 24, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Here's some pics from mine for comparison. Not sure if there are any differences. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 24, 2019 Author Share Posted May 24, 2019 Cmarts matches mine exactly. The blacked out sections on the back are the same. I also would love to know when the box changed. Whats the earliest recorded serial number out there after 111? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I don't think we ever got pics of that 007 box and system did we? We should speak to Atari5200 and see what number 657 one looks like too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Number 7 is without box; there are photos here. What's different is the bottom case doesn't have mattel inc stamped in the plastic and has a mattel red circle sticker. The m.e. intellivision text on the gold panel is bigger and doesn't say intelligent television. The controllers do have the top lip. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/198812-the-official-intellivision-serial-number-database/page-16 Thanks for all the photos guys.

+Lathe26 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Is the blacked out text readable at all (i.e. get it reflected in the light just right)? I'm curious what is says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Maybe I'm not remembering things, but I think Word Fun was also changed from what is on that Intellivision box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Roulette has *and Slots* blacked out and then *try the slots. Press your luck against a one armed bandit.* The list of whats included in the package has *NFL cartridge* covered and the Baseball section blacks out *double steals* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) For comparison, I have this image on my computer. Apologies to whomever it belongs to. It has serial 057xxx. Edited May 24, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
