  1. I wonder if Noah felt this way? Two 32X's, Two Odyssey 2's, Two Super Nintendo's, Two sixer's, Two 4 switch Atari's - woodgrain, Two GameCube's, Two PS 2's, Two Turbo-16's - whoops Three PS Ones, Four Nes consoles, Four Sega Genesis and Five Colecovisions. Why I have so many I have know idea! I think they multiply if they are left alone for too long.
  2. Nice piece of late Intellivision history! Thanks for sharing!
  3. I want to thank you the loon!!! I believe this can help with answers for others who might have questions on this subject. Thanks for tackling this and Good Luck with your project!!!
  4. Sorry the loon. It was just in your link about some company in Hong Kong having an interest in this at one time. Some countries take copyright laws that seriously no matter how much time has passed.
  5. Thanks for the solved case! Are there foreign rights involved? By what I read the last entry it seems possible. That can make things dicey since you have to respect their laws also.
  6. I would like to know why there are not more members in the 125 club? I see you even made a 124 spot for members? There are some really interesting systems and games that were released. I would just like to see more Intellivision collections. So I guess the question is has everybody lost interest in the Intellivision club?
  7. I use Stella version 3.3 and Nostalgia 3.6. They both work on windows 7. I might need to update Nostalgia because that new Christmas Carol rom ran slow at times. Have you tried reinstalling them or maybe copy them from an older computer and just transfer the files to your windows 7 machine.
  8. Very nice spreadsheet HatefulGravey! I would like to see a non price - price guide. I mean expensive titles would be the higher numbers on a scale of one to ten. Some games are not rare but they command higher prices then some rare titles do. For example I have Panic Restaurant and Pac-Mania for the Nes. Both close in rarity but not in price. If you used something like a $ instead of R. That way when prices change you only change the scale number. Anyone know of any guides like that?
  9. Thanks for sharing the story and I hope you can enjoy them soon!
  10. I had zero because I gave them away. Then a bag showed up on my doorstep a few months later with a note that said I hear you collect. Funny thing about it was there were more games in the bag then I gave away. Are Atari carts part of the rabbit family?
  11. I joked earlier but it sounds like a good idea! I do understand where some concerns come up but you came out in the open and stated your intentions. To me what you are trying to do is no different than a multi-cart or SD flashcart.
  12. Oh! Mine is the Memorex version thought I would have to file an injunction but carry on!
  13. North West Ohio was Atari and Commodore. A few teachers had Apple computers in there classrooms. Typewriters were big back then too! LOL!
  14. Congratts! Two of my favorites and they are common titles are Asteroids and Centipede.
  15. Nice Collection! The boxes all look like they are in really good shape. Thanks for sharing the video!
  16. I have been looking for Monster Truck Rally also. It would make sense that it was one of the last published titles. I have only seen them for sale online and always for a little more then I want to pay.
  17. Nice collection TrekMD! I think the Vectrex is a nice little system.
  18. I think the 5200 is a great controller. It took me a few times to figure it out and once I did it became one of my favorite systems to play.
  19. I want to open my sealed Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack but then I would not own an authentic sealed Intellivision game. I have some sealed N64 games but never would I leave an Nes game sealed.
  20. Mr. Robinson spoke more on the G4 episode of Icons titled The Crash. When asked about the crash Mr. Robinson responded that a lot of bad games were released. He then used Parker Brothers(PB) as an example. The games mentioned were Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back and James Bond. Again using PB as an example he said they were inexperienced at making video games but had the money to buy the best games or games people knew about in the arcades. To be fair he ripped on E.T. also but then who has not at least once. I can not speak for Mr. Robinson but I think in the interview he was just giving his reasons why the crashed happened. His comments could have been replaced with any third game developer at that time except maybe Activision. It is easy to see he believed in the system then and still has a lot of pride even today. Who can fault him. The Intellivision is a good system even now. This might be a good topic discussion - Out of all the systems at that time which ones could have stood alone without third party games? Atari? Coleco? Intellivision? Odyssey 2? My answer Intellivision and I think that is what Mr. Robinson was trying to convey in that interview. So I do not believe he was out to attack Parker Brothers personally but just helping to explain the crash.
  21. Did Mr. Robinson reject the game? I remember him ripping on Parker Brothers games on the G4 Icons episode about Intellivision. Not knowing Mr. Robinson but respecting his views I avoided PB games till I played Q*Bert on the Intellivision. It was not as bad as I thought.
