I don't have any that I'm aware of. What are the South African ones? I still don't have any of those. 

I dont either (knowingly).

I didnt know there were South African versions. Hmm.. we need to see pics. Could be 0171 manuals?

I saw a couple of those and they didn't show any part number. The manual itself looks like a slightly modified British English one.

This is Spadafermo's (thanks for sharing bro):

I still collect pretty extensively, but my quality of life improved when I started setting more obtainable collecting goals than "everything"

best thing that ever happened to me was missing out on BLIX or Piggy Bank ??  Can't remember.  But that is when I switch from collecting to just picking up games I wanted to play.

 

I have been selling off my collection for a while now and have gone exclusively ROMS.  With a few exceptions.  Either the game is not available as ROM or the box is to sweet to let go.

 

I thank David, Rev, Oscar etc. for making many games available for purchase and even free in some cases.

I know I missed a few LTO only ROMS a while back.  I misplaced my cart and could not provide the ID.  Bummer.  W.O.W. Was one of them :( 

 

I would love to pick up another Ultimate Flashback, Maybe a PI 4 inside.  Of course some ROMS will not play on that.  But I do have an LTO and a few carts that have not had a rom release.

 

I would even trade for a backup Ultimate Flashback if you have one and are looking for some game(s) you need.  I have several sealed home brews and 120 or so of the 125 loose.

I don’t know why Piggy Bank gets so much crap. I sold 127 copies of that game. That is more than a lot of the new games sell in total now! It was not a limited release. All of my new ones will be in the same range. I don’t want to run a store, I want to get games released I want to see for the Intellivision and move on to the next. I don’t have a staff of Elves. I am one guy in his spare time.

That is a good number of games -- and you noted more than some new releases are selling. (And Piggy Bank was available post show -- because that's how I got my copy.)

Plus, if I recall correctly, you said you would be making the ROMs for all your titles available  -- so no one will miss out.

I dont think he was ripping on Piggy Bank (atleast i didnt take it that way). I think what he meant was that he missed out on that game, and not being able to keep up on having every game released, changed his collecting habits. With all of the game releases of late, i think we will be seeing more of this. Its not a matter of wanting the games, its more a matter of finances. Not everyone has deep enough pockets to get everything they want.. so buying just their most wanted games will have to suffice.

 I wouldnt take offense.

Hey @BBWW,

I wasn't trying to give Piggy Bank or anyone a hard time.  I didn't even remember what game it was that broke my collecting streak...  I knew it was one of those.

 

I just gave up being a completist... If that is a word?  I do buy every rom I can get.  I buy an occasional CIB.  But I am no longer chasing CIB.  I just want to play the games.

Yes, you hit it right on the head!  If I read further down, I would have just replied to this message as you summed it up better than I did.

Intellivisioncollector.com might be able to do it for you.
