JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Well, I just bought my first ever Intellivision with 6 boxed games (7 total) for $37.00 with shipping cost included (w/all hookups needed). I avoided this console because of the negative flack about the controllers, but I saw some screenshots online, and liked how the games looked... so I went for it, a few months after that. So far so good, I like it and the controllers are better then I expected the keypad is very easy to use. I have 5 sports games, 1 action and 1 strategy. All the boxed games have manuals and overlays except baseball is cart only and PGA Golf is missing one overlay and the manual. Here's the 7 games it came with ,many sports titles... 1. PBA Bowling 2. PGA Golf 3. US Ski Team Skiing 4. Astrosmash 5. Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack 6. NFL Football 7. Major League Baseball (game only) , further more on this subject, I had a very interesting feeling playing this system for the first time, as well in taking it out of the shipping box... I' hadn't gotten a new system since about 2006? This is also the first system I bought since, NES that I had never owned previously before buying, and to make it more special I never ever PLAYED an Intellivision before owning it now! It's probably the only "common" old console I never tried out, or at least seen my brother play (Colecovision). So, it's original authentic Intellivision experience here for me.. awesome! I have about 18 games coming in the mail (in about 5-7 days from now) all boxed complete. Can't wait, since the sports games are quite good on their own so far. Going back to that feeling, it's like being in childhood or warping into early 1980's... A time where I was not quite old enough to experience some of this first time around, I kept looking at this Intellivision (still am a week/half later), and seeing how it all worked, reading instructions etc. I felt I just got a really cool toy. I did...! Edited February 15, 2010 by JacobZu7zu7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did...! Awesome dude, you should really enjoy this system. I have always liked the control of the Disc, but then again it's the system i grew up with so i had many years to master it. And since you like the sports titles i will recommend Slam Dunk Super Pro Basketball, My favorite sports title. You can get a loose copy for around $10-15. Here is some footage of me playing it here. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8D78D5F8667F6BF8 And you got a good deal on that bundle.

If you're looking for some ideas as to what to buy next, see this thread. http://www.atariage....livision-games/ Enjoy your new system, my personal favourite among the classic systems. Thanks, cmart. I seen that thread too. It's a nice read, I done my research of Intel, online and know what Intellivision games I would like to get first... they include all 3 of those titles you mention. I found a pretty good lot, and checked the status... my package of games, is only a few hours away, and will arrive Monday (most likely)! Here's the lot...(complete in box) too. Sea Battle Space Battle Star Strike Tron Solar Sailer Tron Deadly Discs B-17 Bomber Night Stalker Space Armada Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Mission-X Microsurgeon Auto Racing Motocross Major League Baseball Horse Racing Tennis Frog Bog I think that is all the list. Will be my first time playing all of those games Total cost for system games + shipping is a bit over $85 bucks. I'm getting that rare Solar Sailer game complete (all complete here)... so I think I made a good score with this lot. I also made $51 dollars on ebay, selling a few NES games and 1 Atari system. So, I'm not hurtin' much in the finacial department. I will have a few duplicates like with Horse Racing and Space Battle, Star Strike... so if anyone would like a game trade of these three let me know, there's plenty of games I don't have yet, Still hunting for Maze-A-Tron and Vectron for example.

+Rev Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 jacob, do you have the intv voice module for tron solar sailor and b17 bomber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Has anyone mentioned THUNDER CASTLE to you?,an absolute must have for your Intellivision.The phenomenal graphics and music/effects will blow you away . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 jacob, do you have the intv voice module for tron solar sailor and b17 bomber? No sir. I don't think the game lot has one either. B 17 Bomber I think you can play without the voice, yeah?? I don't think Solar Sailor doesn't play right without a voice am I right? Still cool to have , when I can get my hands on a voice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Yeah the Intellivoice seems fairly common.A gaming shop I go to has 2 boxed 2 loose for $10.00 each.I love em,I've found 4 of those things in my years of collecting,all boxed. But i think 4 is quite enough,even as back-ups. Edited February 22, 2010 by Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
