maximebeauvais Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 You also saw prototype or lab cart of atari 2600 on ebay. However, it look like intellivision prototype or NEW (modern intellivision) game are very very very rare. why? It is been almost 1 1/2 that I check ebay every day for intellivision stuff and the rarest cart was a kind of programming cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 I'm pretty sure the blue sky rangers kept most of their prototype stuff, kno they have quite a few. Some activision ones leaked out, including an unreleased game, Robot Rubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Yep that's pretty much it. The Intellivision programming staff was pretty tight and they kept all their stuff from leaking out. Most of the Intellivision protos you see in the hands of collectors are by 3rd party companies like Imagic or Activision. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 As for new games, about all I've seen is a tetris version and a pong program...and neither of those really seemed to ever see an "official" cart release. I guess INTV isn't a popular homebrew system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 As for new games, about all I've seen is a tetris version and a pong program...and neither of those really seemed to ever see an "official" cart release. I guess INTV isn't a popular homebrew system. 4-Tris made it to cart, but as I understand it making carts is not easy at all, and the programming is none too simple either, so that's why you don't see homebrews. At least the Intellicart was made so that the first obstacle isn't a big deal, but there sure aren't many people writing for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FND Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Intv T-Card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 anyone have more info on that t-card photo? i obtained an intellivision test cartridge in the same t-card casing (showed it to several people at cinciclassic). i've read in the DP guide a mention of this t-card in the 1-of-a-kind/proto section as possibly an INTV II test cart. how many of these t-cards have been found and what was their purpose?

FND Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 anyone have more info on that t-card photo? I won the T-Card along with a Melody cart, they were part of a collection auctioned by C. Hepworth who attained them from a woman named Pat Burnell who worked in the Mattel Electronics Reliability Test Lab as a Debugger. I think I got them around 1997-98 Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I've seen a 2600 M-Network prototype with a Pat Burnell sticker on it. I thought it was some kid who put his name on the proto, nice to know it was an official sticker. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
