I'd rather pick them up in person for that old-school game purchasing feel rather than faceless internet buying+shipping. (Even if I don't get the three-game discount.) I don't know at this time if they will be available at PRGE. There are a couple of possibilities. I could still go (but don't have a space of my own), or someone else might be selling some.

I believe the roms have not been changed or updated for any of the 3 games. New gatefold boxes,artwork and cartridge shell however. Released by the official IP holder if that matters to you.

Swami Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm guessing this King of the Mountain has the various sound effects and/or music whereas the original did not, but I might be mistaken. How it might be the same of differnet from the intelligentvision was, I have no idea. I'd like to see video of more intellivision homebrews, to see what they are like.

BSRSteve Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Due to some unforeseen problems, we will not be able to ship more of these titles until some time in September. Copies should be available at PRGE from Elektronite. I will try to tell everyone that has an order pending individually, but it will take some time (as there are quite a few orders pending) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. I own a Flashback and Intellivision Lives and Rocks CD's so I already have the rom for these games. I'm not sure what is justifying $60 per game other than the physical copy for collectors and perhaps nostalgia. Can someone also please explain to me where are the emperor's clothes?

These releases are largely for collectors, however at least Spiker apparently has a different ROM. Not sure about the others. I haven't played mine yet, but I'm guessing it's a new splash screen, credits, or Easter egg. Probably not new modes of gameplay, but who knows. Regarding the $60 price tag, it's still cheaper than buying the original ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSRSteve Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 There is a new splash screen ahead of the title screen. The King of the Mountain ROM is the same as the bootleg release, which had bug fixes beyond the version that is on Intellivision Lives.

Per the first post, thought they were $70+ shipping for the new releases? Anyway, it's the Intellivision forum... it's always been about the variants! Made in HK, Singapore, USA... late 80's mail order baggie releases, 'special' game convention releases, philips screw heads vs. those goofy triangular types, gatefold vs. regular box, boxes with foreign langauges, manuals with only one rusty staple, overlays with slightly different hue... doesn't matter, gotta collect 'em all! ? So, who's collection is going to be featured on Collector's Call someday and what will such a collection really be "worth"?! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the $60 price tag, it's still cheaper than buying the original ? Ok...totally understand. I am an original owner from back in 1980 when I shelled out $250 from my paper route money (a lot of money back then for a 13 year old) for the master component so I definitely understand the interest. However, I've moved on from the hardware primarily because of component longevity concerns (40 years old). I decided instead to purchase an Ultimate PC interface to use with my original controllers on a Windows 10 pc as well as raspberry pi and go the emulation route. Would love to obtain actual flashback controllers if I could find them. Different strokes for different folks. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
