+intellivotion Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 it takes some time to start appreciating the I.I. variants but when you get into it then it can be very gratifying. Complimenti! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Im the guy who bought the $45 one. Luckily I got a couple other variants with it to alleviate the price a bit. Nice pickup at a great price for ya, good job! I'm stoked I got it myself. Now about the Intellivision Inc. Snafu, ugh, it's nearly impossible. Not sure I'll ever find one. Of all of those variants, Soccer abd Roulette were tough ones to track down as well. Edited May 13, 2021 by Omnibro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Oh man, Super Series! I just pretend it doesn't exist, given up on ever finding one. Let alone being able to afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikazi26 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I just picked one up last week. In the wild. Paid cheap for it too. Never stop looking! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a sealed copy of II Snafu beginning of January along with other three II sealed games by winning an auction at 120 bucks. Do you remember it? Not that crazy for me since I was missing all titles. And, unfortunately, I like sealed games too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) I got lucky and got Backgammom for $10 a while ago. Oh yeah I remember that auction. Apparently it was you and me bidding on it. I set a 110 limit and ducked out when it got over that. Glad another person here got it though. I at least want the stuff to go to a good home. Do you mind me asking how much you paid paid for the copy of Super Series? And was it at a flea market? II - short for "Intellivision Inc.". A grip of games were re-released after Mattel backed out of the business. Those are the flip top or non-gatefold boxes / white label cartridges of older games.

Omnibro Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Yes. Found it at a flea market. It's not in pretty shape, but it exists. Sometimes that's enough for me. Edited May 13, 2021 by Omnibro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I was crazy lucky. So funny that some of the most common Mattel games are super tough to locate as II releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the cart label the white Intellivision Inc one? Those are even rarer than the box. I've seen a handful of CIB Intellivision Inc Backgammons and almost all had the green label cart.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Is it time for an updated top 10 for Intellivision Inc rarity? ? 1. Super Series Big League Baseball 2. Backgammon 3. Snafu 4. Roulette 5. Masters of the Universe 6. Sea Battle 7. Hockey 8. Math Fun 9. Basketball 10. Mr Basic Honorable Mentions: Mr Basic, Chess, Mind Strike, Pinball Discuss!

Atari_Bill Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I would agree with most of that order. I do think Backgammon should be #1 with Super Series a close #2. Masters of the Universe maybe could move up a slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Good discussion....for rarity I'd pretty much agree. For price I think MOTU would jump probably to #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I.I. Soccer used to be hard to find but it has lost its bad reputation lately. We must thank the Venezuelan sellers for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
