I am pretty sure MATTEL ELECTRONICS PRESENTS was all in the Intellivoice, either separately or as a single string.

Can we know whether or not offers were allowed? I am not sure we can find out if they were accepted.

Although notice that the BurgerTime box is the same color

But that picture does not say Lifestyle on it, it just talks about Mattel Electronics in the United States.

He can always play Chess on Triple Challenge.....

Normally, the white sticker is Lifestyle Electronics for the Australian market on either a 0810 UK box or a 0410 international box (and there are variants in wording and font on those as well). The 0810 red Space Battle that Humblejack posted above is one of those. The Backgammon box has US text on it, which is different.

Among the assorted paperwork and inventory I "inherited" from Keith, there are a bunch of unused cartridge labels. I have been reluctant to do much with them because the most intriguing item among them is a sheet that is half Spiker and half Stadium Mud Buggies labels, and I thought there was too much mischief that was possible with those. I recently commented on a thread that I might be able to supply an original Spiker label if an unlabelled cartridge in an eBay lot ended up being Spiker, but I would have to break up this sheet to do that. Then I got an offline request from someone else for a white Locomotion label and discovered that I did have some and decided it was time to process them all. I have a strip of eight blue Football labels, and then a bunch of white labels. The games with white labels are: Boxing Bump N Jump Championship Tennis Chip Shot Golf Learning Fun II Locomotion Motocross Pac-Man Pinball Pole Position Slam Dunk (two varieties) Slap Shot (two varieties) Super Pro Decathlon Super Pro Football (two varieties) Thin Ice Thunder Castle World Championship Baseball World Cup Soccer

I think i could arrange an authentic one

The main difference is that 1.1 contains the Windows-based emulator (which was a port from my Macintosh emulator done by Quicksilver Software, Inc) in addition to Carl Mueller's DOS emulator. I am not sure if there are other differences.

And done..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/305091806638

If I can remember where they are.

Guess it is time to pull out my extra copies......

This is certainly not correct. IE was not even a figment of anyone's imagination until several months after Keith died. AtGames was offering inferior terms compared to the Flashback 1, including royalties that decreased the more units that were sold (which I think may have actually been a feature of the original contract as well). While Tommy did go to that meeting, along with Emily, with AtGames (and I did not), and we had started talking about working together, IE was not really an idea until after Flashback 2 seemed unreasonable and not worth doing. And I still had to do the work of gaining control of Intellivision Productions and getting rid of some of its financial problems.

IIRC. the Technosource plug-n-play devices contained a NES on a chip, with the games on them PORTED to that environment. Someone at one of the CGEs had made NES cartridges of some of the individual games and tried to get Keith to produce more. He declined, for various reasons, but I suspect that this may be using those versions.

Yes, Keith would have been happy for corrections and more information, and I would be happy with that as well, as long as the corrections are well-sourced or documented. Keith and I started in late 1981, with Keith about a month after me. I remember seeing Q*Bert in the arcade one lunchtime with Bill Fisher, and we both thought that would be a great game for the Intellivision. Of course, we discovered it was too late. My memory is that Daglow might have rejected it, but it might also have already been gone when he looked at titles from Gottlieb.

I will admit that I really have no idea where the specific dates we report came from. Keith got them from somewhere. It could be from when the games went to distribution. It could even be when the final ROMs were shipped to manufacturing (even though that would not be what is being indicated). One of these days I will dig around see if I can find one of the dates any where in the files.-

That is entirely up to you

It also occurs to me that these do not have any Mattel Electronics markings. Could one of them be Atari or Colecovision? I mostly have the smaller font ones, but I have a couple with the larger font.

FYI, we just put up our seven remaining signed game box covers for auction. https://www.ebay.com/str/blueskyrangers/Auctions/_i.html?store_cat=35095264012 Should also have some random other stuff up on Monday, but most of it is probably not terribly interesting to this group.

I am going to try to get most of these available faceplates up on eBay in the next few days. I will start with a pair of the gold ones in an auction. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304979542957?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e12000.m116034.l119768&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=4540b274382d410b9d9483992571be49&bu=44675125481&osub=-1~1&crd=20230612154853&segname=12000

I only had two of the ones with the switch pate hole and you are about fifth on the list, so sorry about that

If the KBC comment in the DB is correct. In my collection, all the G1 boxes are missing the KBC text, so for a G2 box to HAVE it would be a big surprise

I think there was an existing thread I could have added to, but I didn't find one that was very recent. I have finally recovered sufficiently from knee surgery to dig out the faceplates that I still have. I have six varieties, three with the opening for the power switch/reset button and three without. With the reset opening, I have: Gold 2609 plate - 2 copies. I have been asked about these in the past few months, so they are nominally spoken for, if they respond in a reasonable amount of time. System Three silver - probably about 70 copies. About 50 are sealed in their original delivery packaging (That is one package of about 50). Some may have minor scratches Super Pro silver - 1 copy, which I think I might actually need for my Super Pro system, so I need to dig that out as well. Without the opening: Silver with Intellivision logo - I count 47 of these. Some with minor scratches. I don't know what system these might have come from, though the quantity would be about right to be in the open packaging that is attached to the System Three faceplates. Silver blank - 9 copies remain, They seem to be in pretty good shape. Gold blank - 22 copies. Some are quite good, while others are scuffed significantly. I previously sold some of these for $10 plus postage, if I recall correctly.

I would have expected a pack-in Math Fun to be FCTVVO, but it is not. Are my expectations incorrect? Also, it is a Rev D manual for the master component. That also seems to not match, in addition to the serial number mismatch pointed out by @gunoz
