Alright... which one of you sniped this beauty? https://www.ebay.com/itm/304892035252?

I have never seen the Sears version of this in the wild but I do remember our local Service Merchandise had the full Intellivision version. That's where my dad bought our original Inty console along with US Ski Team Skiing and PBA Bowling. Those and the Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack that came with the unit were our first 3 games in Christmas 1980.

Can I get one that holds 125 carts? Seriously though, this is awesome and I'll be ordering some soon. Just have to figure out if I want one rail of 10 or two 5's. I keep a bunch of carts outside of their boxes just for play. Usually the newest stack of homebrews I'm working my way through at any given point. Does the sizing work well with the non-Mattel shells as well? Like Imagic, Parker Brothers, etc?

That's why I don't watch Formula 1 as it is!

I'd love to make that show as I've never been to Vancouver. But I can only do 1 non-family trip a year and have already booked Portland. Please post lots of pics though! (remembers who I'm replying to)... OF THE CONVENTION!! (close call there)

Is it possible they just didn't give you the correct version of the glasses for your CB variation? Perhaps the eye assessment you received wasn't quite correct and you need a different formula? If possible, it would be nice if they could get a set that actually worked for you as well 👍

He has the version of RG color blindness where many shades of red will look green to him, so he often cannot tell red from green. We first suspected he had this condition when he came down for school wearing a red shirt for Green Eggs and Ham Day at his school. He truly thought it was green. He generally sees all other colors normally though some shades of red/orange/yellow tend to blend together for him that do not for normal visioned people. The enchroma glasses work well for him indoors and out, though he really only uses them inside for art class or coloring projects.

This is what we used to help out our oldest boy with his red-green color blindness... https://enchroma.com/pages/color-is-here?gclid=Cj0KCQjwt_qgBhDFARIsABcDjOeV3Kv-pgfoDJpzKvsUhBFFYiI-t1yU9rpj2o9PxTgFaRyz8bWg-aIaAqkSEALw_wcB

the1idiot: Do you wanna talk homebrews or would you rather do the math? Carlos: the1moron: 😲

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up Steve!

I understand having to limit collecting to fit a buget of both money and time. Hell, even space comcerns for that matter. So I wish you luck on your new focus Tim!

I have no idea what you are talking about.

That was really though but I had to go with Piggy Bank. It's not only my 1st homebrew but I've put in so many hours on that game. I didn't get Christmad Carol until last year but that one is up there for me as well.

As someone who has self-made boxes for missing ones in his collection, I salute these brave souls in their quest to provide proper homes for their carts ...AND BOXES FOR ALL!

Well... Amongst us gentlemen collectors anyway, lol. I didn't want to hijack Steve's thread to jump over him. Besides, he's been a big help to me over the years here.

Just want to add that Steve gets first pick of whatever he wants if you choose to sell, Hank. It's his thread and idea so he has dibs. If he decides to leave anything, I'd be happy to select from that 👍

I'd be happy to purchase the map fold version, Hank.

I am also in the market for one of the gold catalogs with Spider-Man in it. If anyone has a spare they'd be willing to sell-trade, hit me up! Maybe one of our European contingent has as many of these as I have Activision catalogs laying around, lol

This feels like the understatement of the century.

I've purchased these from her in the past. They are every bit as high quality as the originals. She has tons of overlay titles available and if you send her a message about getting a few other sets, she'll usually make it a 3 for one deal. Since I missed out on the Orphan Overlays long ago, I picked up the 125 versions of the Atarisoft, Parker Brothers and the few INTV titles she did to "complete" the games that were not included in the Flashback set.

Just kidding! Of course I'm in again!!!

I open everything since I prefer to play them on original hardware and I don't re-sale the things I keep for my personal collection. But for something that rare, I'd try to find someone that collects sealed copies first and see if I can't get a good opened copy in return plus a little extra. Make all the different versions of collector happy.

I don't collect variants but just for fun...

😃 when you get that 5 game care package from the Great White North... Thanks William!
