Intellivision problem

[ttony_at]

I have an Intellivision (model 2609) not working properly. I cleaned the game

contacts for the cartridge and inside but it's still having problems. With the so few

games I have (listed below), I don't know if it's worth fixing.The problem began

suddenly. This is what happens.

 

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: I can get pass the map area and then travel

around a little until the game freezes.

Armor Battle: As soon as the game appears at least one tank is already damaged

and the game doesn't reset.

Astrosmash: game plays. But if I do a lot of moving and shooting it crashes. So I

must pick my targets very carefuly.

Auto Racing: same as Armor Battle.

Pitfall: This is the only game that's good enough. The only glitchs are the opening

and closing pits and the alligators mouths that move too slowly. It takes about a

minute for the pits and the alligator's mouth to open-close.

That's... ...uh... ...weird.

 

To be honest, I think I'd just get a new Intellivision. Something's not reading properly.

Yeah, I've never hear of something like that.

That is strange!

You may have a bent or dirty pin in the cart slot. You might want to do a good, thourough cleaning of the slot and contacts before you buy a new intellivision. If it turns out to be the system, I think I have a couple of spare systems. PM me if you are interested.

 

Oh, and yes, it's worth fixing/replacing. AD&D alone is worth the price of admission.
