  1. This is very hard. 1. Night Stalker 2. Snafu 3. Poker & Blackjack 4. Astrosmash 5. Thin Ice 6. Triple Action 7. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 8. Stampede 9. Happy Trails 10. Qbert I'm biased from my childhood gameplay - only a couple of the games above I didn't play as a kid.
  2. Greetings from Australia! as Canada and Australia have a lot in common, would you consider selling one to me? spiritually Canadian, Anthony
  3. Not sure how I missed this thread but ordered! And Maria turned up today, thank you! Anthony
  4. Very useful! Need to get an NTSC Intellivision now!
  5. I got a boxed copy of Motocross. Unfortunately it works for a moment and then dies - cannot get past map selection. This does the same behaviour on two different PAL Intellivision 1's. I haven't ever experienced a partly dead cart before. Is this a thing? Anthony IMG_6881.MOV
  6. Pressing reset or switching on and off immediately results in corrupted sprites straight away. Once it has been on for a minute - it’s done. It needs time to cool down - maybe half an hour or longer to get a couple minutes of good sprites. Anthony
  7. It sure is a PAL Intellivision. I have a recap kit, could try that! anthony
  8. Great idea. I turned it on and it performs normally. As a minute or two comes along it starts to corrupt and all sprites become square messes. It’s playable - just screwed up. My backup unit had a faulty controller which I repaired last night so I’m not Intellivisioned out - but I’d love to repair this girl. thanks for any advice; Anthony
  9. Today I went to play Intellivision and I began by removing the cartridge. I then noticed that the Intellivision was already ON! Oops! It must have been on for a day or two. I turned it off, turned it back on and phew! Looks good! Except... the main sprite is corrupted on most games. Shown is Stampede and Kool Aid Man. Notice the horse is a bit screwy and the kids in kool aid man are just a block. what have I done?
  10. Sorry @tanuki I am the Anthony in Australia. Anthony
  11. I also have not received tracking info. Anthony
  12. Cant wait to get on the preorder.
  13. Hi there - While looking for a brochure online for the Intellivision, I came across this - https://archive.org/details/youtube-GqllAQklVNE if this is real, I am guessing Mattel Electronics were planning on doing a laserdisc version of Cluedo. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it - was this going to be interfaced to an Intellivision or something else? I guess it could be technically done with an ECS serial port.
  14. Hi there - does the proprietor of the intellivisionrevolution.com website hang out here? I have emailed the site a few times and have been unable to get a response. Would love to ask a couple of questions. thanks! Anthony
  15. Crazy question. On real ECS units, is everyone using real tape drives still or are you using a digital alternative that can read and write? I would love a digital solution that will allow me to save programs.
