Tickled_Pink Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Or rather, rediscovered one I'd forgotten about. Went to see parents today and my dad said he'd found a game box with two controllers on either side. I was thinking, huh? That sounds like an Intellivision. Sure enough, it was one that I'd picked up at a car boot sale years ago but never even switched on to see if it worked. It's a little (very) on the dusty side. I don't have any carts for it (I think I might have had one with it at some point). What would happen if I turned it on? The INTV has an OS, yes? So does it show up something if I don't have a cart in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could give you or let you try one to see if your console works.. Anyway good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 If you are on Facebook. Take a look at the Intellivision Invasion group. There are some British gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 With no cartridge you should get a black screen. If not there's probably something wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
