+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Nice! I wonder how well the overlay will stay in place without catch on top to keep it from slipping? The early Mattel controllers had no catch but Mattel quickly fixed the issue early in 1980. Thats one of the ways you can tell the early systems from older (other than serial number). Regardless, it is a much nicer design and im looking forward to trying them out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Have you tried printing in black? or gray so it is close to the Intv 2 console color? The yellow color seems like a pre-aged plastic color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 If you still need overlays then you are not playing your games enough. (says the guy who still needs the overlays for Space Battle) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Probably 95% of the Intellivision games I play I do not use the overlays for. Occasionally I may pull an overlay out of the box to see which buttons to press. That's it. But I am sure thankful to be getting some new controllers for my Intellivision 2 as the originals, as documented, have very stiff side buttons. My flashback controllers which work quite well, are bound to wear out sooner or later as I use those on a regular basis. Thank you Cote Gamers for making these as they will take care of my Intellivision game playing needs far into the future.?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More seriously, we've made several color tests and tried to match Inty 1 colors. We didn't find anything suitable. The selected color scheme was made between us, our target was to be in the late 70s color scheme, like the Inty 1. You do not see it well in the pictures but the base is dark brown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmadruga Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm wondering about the distance between the buttons on the right and the overlay holder. Do you find that your thumb keeps pressing the holder together with the button? Or is the distance enough for the button to be pressed comfortably? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the idea is to be able to nest this controller inside the console when not using it, then this platform would create a problem. Maybe with careful use there will be no issue with overlays.

JohnPCAE Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Maybe something detachable that can support the top of the overlay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YannAros Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Frankly the overlays are stiff enough not to bend and the cable coming out bellow prevents from putting the controller in such a position that would bend it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Bouchard Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Sorry if I missed the answer but what is the possible MSRP for 1 or 2 of these? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
