Intelligentleman Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Pretty sure that's a bite mark on the top. This was my uncle's system and games from 1981. I was born a year later, so this probably happened sometime during the mid-late 80s.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I have a graveyard of mangled overlays. When I get some time I'm going to send them through the laminator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It takes patience and stamina to rack up high scores in Astrosmash. I like the little sticker, that's a cool idea. I don't remember my high score, but you can definitely run that game until you don't want to play any longer, through many different background colors. I don't think the score rolls over like Atari Asteroids (apparently it just gets corrupted) but I'm not completely surprised someone kept playing until 1990. I should look for my USENET selloff of my Intellivision collection which was some years after then. I think I only wanted like sixty bucks. Doh. That overlay makes me a little uncomfortable. I kept my stuff in very nice shape. Think Bert crossed with Felix Unger. But the one time I had an acquaintance over, his LONG FINGERNAILS just wrecked my Cloudy Mountain overlays. SO PISSED. I wouldn't have had much patience for a teething baby at that age, or for a long time to come. You were smart to keep your distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the main reason I learned how to replace controller circuit matrices (picked them up at the Mattel service center that was just down the street from the main Mattel building in Hawthorne, CA).•Sent from my Intellivision keypad phone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion1052003 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nurmix, Can you add me to your Flashback adaptors list? I got a spare Intv II controller and hooked it up to a laptop with the Visiondapter. I totally want to try a flashback controller on the laptop and on the Intellivision II. Shark..Shark..
