And then 65 bucks for the system changer. What does that even do? I’ve heard about it before but that’s about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the Intellivision's controllers or plug in Atari controllers into the System Changer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 You can play M Network games with it (the games Mattel made for the VCS). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The thing with the side buttons on the Inty II is that you have to tap them very slightly, almost like sensor buttons. But everyone tries to press them very hard (including me) like they know it from the Inty I. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If that Intv2 is missing the power supply (it is not shown in the picture) then you may want to stay away from it, or source a somewhat compatible wall adapter. and while it does look nice, I think $100 is a little steep for it; especially if it is missing the power supply. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the insight. Not sure about the power supply either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The original power supply alone sells for $20-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I would bet you'd be able to get a CIB Inty 2 on eBay for $100 or less, and likely with games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligentleman Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Damn, the Intv 2 is so slick looking to me. It feels simultaneously retro and contemporary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
