+Lathe26 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 http://www.2600connection.com/faq/controllers/faq_controllers.html White Keypad Intelivision, Black Keypad Colecovision. Best I could do before bed. I am wondering if this was vaporware. In doing some research, there were only 2 or 3 images of the white keypad version. One site referred to it as the early press release version. Another showed it in an ad (press release versions often show up here). In all cases, the Clear and Enter buttons were labelled as 'X' (also a sign of pre-release). The strongest case found for this being real was in an official ad which did state "Intellivision", but we've also seen the Intellivoice II in an ad when it really was just a carved wood block. Not saying it isn't real, just that I couldn't find any solid proof in my own research. I easily could have missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Here's the ad I found. Yes, the was the Amigia joystick for other systems. I have seen and own a Colecoversion…after they sold the design to Gem. When I figure out how to post photos I will. The GemStick was all off white…and yes it is a beast, but I want it! and would trade a copy of a very high priced Parker Brothers game to get one, You game would come with a box and no instructions, I doubt the joystick would have either. LOL I'm a old fart who played this system when I was a 24 year old father. As the chief procurement officer of Intellivision, I remember seeing one. Of course I lived across the street from Atari in Sunnyvale too. I saw a lot of stuff. I was always looking for an edge to try to beat my kids... Full disclosure: I have fried a lot of brain cells since then…and lose more every day, what I swear was real, may only be a memory implant from my youth that I've make real. There was a MASSIVE computer junk yard store that I picked up a lot of strange stuff at in Sunnyvale across from where the original FRYS was.

+BBWW Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 LOL, I mean I was the guy responding to Sharkcharmer's requests for more Intellivision Games and Gadgets. It was a cool job. I was the dad and we were both still kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I found references to the "Keypad Gemstick" but only for the ColecoVision. Here's an image: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yah to the best of my knowledge I believe this was vapourware. I too have the CV version but I suspect they may have shelved their plans to actually go forward with production of an Intellivision version. If for some reason this is real, well it would go right to the top five Intellivision items that I'm looking to acquire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to avoid any possible confusion, the "white keypad" I'm referring to above is the black plastic controller with white keypad buttons (as in the ad). The black plastic controller with black buttons was for the ColecoVision (not pictured). The white plastic "Keypad Gemstick" is a 3rd animal that appears to be for only ColecoVision (pictured in another post). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Most of the starting prices aren't bad, but nothing special either. Jetsons is pretty rare. At $99, it's not a bad price. That's what I paid for mine. They can go as high as $150ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fit into the openings on the 2600 cart and cause the hinged dust shield to move out of the way as you insert the cart. Check that the prongs aren't missing or bent. It's possible the mechanism inside the cart has gotten messed up somehow - try inserting a screw driver into one of the holes in the cart end and see if you can then move the dust cover with your finger. FYI - That's what you have to do to get access to the connector for cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with the exception of championship tennis, there are glossy variants of all of those. Just off the top of my head, you will also find Auto Racing and Pinball cardboard variations, both of which have glossy counterparts. Oh, also World Cup Soccer (the sister game to championship tennis) has cardboardy ones. intvsteve's site: intvfunhouse.com has a lot of good information on overlays. Actually, it has a lot of good information on everything The answers you seek, you shall find there Edited January 7, 2014 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
