Swami Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 1 hour ago, Rev said: If you had to put a number on how many coleco or 7800 fans for the homebrew community respectively, what would that number be? How many approximate homebrews sell on your average release? Active? 600-800. Regular buyers? 300-400. # a good home-brew can sell? 400. Average would be a guess. Maybe 140? However, the ColecoVision Lunatics website has 75,000 members, so lots of lurkers it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are very good games too! So I don't see myself flooding the INtv community with new games. When we will release a new INtv game, it's going to be an awesome one for sure. lol, I know it wasn’t for me.....yet! ??? Do y’all know when the next intv release is coming out? I don’t want to clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know of a place that has ever attempted to put a real number on the amount of active Mattel Intellivision fans. But in the homebrew community it boils down to average sales of an average homebrew. I believe the average Intv game sells more than 140. Unless it is an actual limited game on purpose, like the newest Good Deal Games release where it was stated that only 70 copies would be produced, which is artificial scarcity in my opinion.

Old man Elektronite was saying if people didn't start buying more of his games he would have to go out of business and he isn't selling enough copies of games to have boxes while Rikki and Vikki sold almost 500 copies. Kind of gives that impression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both games are very attractive. I'm sure the not very big yet devoted Intellivision community will be responsive. You can put me down for two copies of each as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I know I have some homebrew games numbered 297, 298 out of 300. I think the LTO Flash sold at least 500 Maybe much more? I haven't been keeping up. How many D2K's sold? That is harder to know... Did the same people but the DIIK Special Edition? or were some different buyers? Christmas Carol sold 300 while having a free rom available. Great Game... So that helps. Also why I asked about DIIK... So well done.

But first impressions of the graphics, music and gameplay are all excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
