We'll work something out and I'll be happy to help finish his collection. I finished my own 125 with deals from 2 legends in the community here so I like to help where I can. Awesome you're able to do that. Banging off that many in one shot to finish a set is huge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnibro Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I've had the worst time finding Hockey actually. Oddly enough, 4 copies of Sears Checkers have filtered through me. No idea why that one keeps popping up. I know Backgammon is a bitch to find, and frankly if it were for @Humblejack I would've never grabbed Roulette either. The kindness of fellow collectors helps a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up coming down with something when he got home and haven’t had much energy. Here’s the couple of Intellivision items I picked up that I’ve been on the search for for some time. I’ve never found many of these, so when these came available, I had to make a big push for them. Very likely overpaid, but when you see something that doesn’t ever come up, you better get it then finally, being a big Sears fan, I’ve wanted this since I first saw it. Still not sure if these were sold at Sears or how they got they got to market. The seller didn’t have any history either but said he’s owned it since he got the system. It’s in rough shape, but hoping that it will clean up somewhat. It will sit nicely next to its Mattel twin. Took some elbow grease, but finally got the case and system cleaned up nicely. Didn’t come out too bad. Not sure what to do (if anything) with the missing foam on top. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 A couple of questions on what I recently picked up. is this the International release of Checkers with the slots on the back? is it normal for this to include the INTV B&W instructions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill, Yes, you got an international version with slots back (the one without slots has never been documented so far for this game) but the seller added an Intellivision Inc. bw manual… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pickup. Every time I see the Intellivision Inc Checkers my brain always wants to think of it as rare like Backgammon and I'm drawn to hitting "Buy it now" ? As an aside if you ever come across the Italian version, "Dama", grab it as it's very rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I found a Checkers manual in a foreign game as well. I always wondered if these were originally sold as baggie Intellivision Inc boxless games or just included with foreign games (or both). Either way, nice find on a rare manual. Do you have all the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the last one I need, though I think I misplaced my Tron SS, so I should find that. Edit: found Tron and updated pic!

I've received about 6 international games recently (from different sellers and countries) all with 2 sets of manuals like this... one from country of origin, and a b/w english copy. Its my thought that they originally came like this. We need more verification from collectors in UK, Germany, France, & Italy. Ive seen this in German, French, & Italian games. Will post some pics soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There also appears to be an early B&W Golf manual that still has Mattel copyright info that I am missing. In addition to Super Series, I also have no WL cartridge for Backgammon, Mr. Basic and Word Fun. And still missing various other varieties.
