Intellivision Vectron

[20eyes]

I picked this up a goodwill today.

Its got a purple lable underneath the white one that also, near as i can tell, says Vectron. Is this a common thing for intellivsion games?

I've seen a couple of games like that. I've got a pinball that has a white label over the normal purple one. My best guess is that it was some of the overstock INTV inherited from Mattel when they bought the Intellivision rights, and that they just slapped one of their white labels over the existing one. Don't think it's worth a bunch or anything. Vectron is a good game, btw. Strange but fun.

I'd take a picture of my keyboard, but I wouldn't want to make people sick to their stomachs..

This was my first thought too!

The between-key area on that board is remakrably clean given the outside...

 

Thank Althena for small favors.

You havent even seen the whole thing yet... thats probobly the dirtiest part of the whole thing that ended up in the picture.

well here is mine let me know if you start a new thread for dirty keyboards

this is the very first keyboard i ever bought, it came with my 1999 Emachines computer

ive only cleaned it 5 times and each time it was because i dumped a full glass of pop on/in it

Man that's a really dirty keyboard. I'll bet your fingers stick onto the key's like glue. If my keyboard was that dirty, i allready would have bought a new one.

It looks like you've got a keyboard kondom on it. Those things can be handy, if you've got a standard shaped keyboard. I spilled Mr. Pibb on my old Apple ADB keyboard years back, but I had a keyboard kondom on it, so it was fine. I've got a Logitech Internet Keyboard now, so there's no cover for it's odd shape.

My first keyboard was even worse. My cat, god rest his evil, evil soul, decided it would be fun to urinate on it.

 

I took it outside, hosed it off for like 20 minutes, and then left it out to dry.

 

And forgot about it for two weeks (in the middle of winter).

 

Amazingly, it still works.

 

I've gotten much pickier since then. My current setup is one of thos cool blue backlit models with nary a dustbunny in sight...

Washing keyboards off like that works fine. I ended up getting some abandoned Mac keyboards that were left in a mud puddle after the vender took off during a rainstorm, and washed them off in the front yard with the garden hose. Left them in the garage for a week to dry completely, then tested them all out one by one. They worked fine, so I donated them to my mom's school. The little demonspawn kids there like breaking things (and stealing the trackballs out of the mice), so having some backup keyboards helped them out a lot.
