+the1hatman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That's why I got so excited about this poster, which was way out of my price range: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 331666710969 That is a nice shot of a lot of early boxes! MLB, NBA, Checkers, Math Fun and the really rare Armor Battle all with the FOR COLOR TV VIEWING ONLY in the artwork. Odd that the LV Poker box on that is missing this feature though. Even the red Space Armada box is on there twice. I can see why you wanted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Math Fun is the only one I'm still missing. Armor Battle, NBA, Math Fun, Checkers, and LV P&B are all tough. MLB & NFL are easy. Backgammon has been showing up a lot lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Math Fun is the only one I'm still missing. Armor Battle, NBA, Math Fun, Checkers, and LV P&B are all tough. MLB & NFL are easy. Backgammon has been showing up a lot lately. I was lucky in that I didn't have much money when I started to seriously collect Intellivision gear so I focused on getting all the early games and getting them right since they could be had cheap. I stumbled onto this variant by accident and decided that I would always aim for the earliest original release of each game. I found MLB and NFL pretty quickly as everyone does then lucked into Checkers and Math Fun in a lot I got with my first Intellivision II console. After that I had figured out the original 10 color manual releases and started actively looking for the artwork note variant. Armor Battle and LV Poker & Blackjack were the last 2 I found (before I realized that Roulette and Space Battle never had this feature despite having color manuals) and I haven't seen them again since. I'm always on the lookout for better condition editions of these so if I spy a Math Fun I will post it here for you. I always hate it when I get down to having to find the last one of something to finish a set! lol In my search for these I have found them to be available in this order (most common to least common): NFL Football MLB Baseball APBA Backgammon Math Fun Checkers NBA Basketball Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack Armor Battle - have only seen it once and was luckily able to buy it Happy hunting my friend!

freewheel Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Well I'll be double-dipped. There's an actual desirable, pseudo-rare LV P&BJ. I thought for sure that those were basically all firewood. I doubt any of these originals ever made it to Canada, outside of us crazy modern collectors. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled next time I'm down south. Neat stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the rarest LV P&B I think Backgammon may win the prize for most categories where it's the rarest game variation in that category. It always comes down to Backgammon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's not the rarest LV P&B OK, now someone needs to prepare a rarity guide for LV P&BJ. It's the "Combat" or "SMB/Duck Hunt" of the platform. I don't even give it a second thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never a pack in down there and therefore peeps had to actually purchase it, which most seemingly didn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never focused on this sub variant before but usually try to keep any copies I've found that reference the keyboard component (coming soon). This thread spurred me to take a look in my collection for the variant titles listed here. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that I have all of them. Woohoo! ?

Atari_Bill Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Pics? I'll try. I'm so horrible at that. I'm trying to restructure the game room and I keep putting pics off until I'm done. I haven't even done my pics to qualify for gold status yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEY LIKES InTv Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Anyone here win this? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 111803242371 I saw that as well. Rare MADE IN THE U.S.A Word Fun.

Seeing the recent pics I now see what you are talking about. Unfortunately I don't have all these. Great. Another subset to chase. Never ends!! ?

Then I couldn't find one to save my life. Now I see them from time to time. Not the rarest game out there, but most are Hong Kong. I've probably seen 8 this year on eBay.

+intvsteve Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Funny… I can't remember when I noticed these boxes for Baseball & Football, but then never really dug much further. I think I have Armor Battle, but need all the rest. Send them to me so they'll be properly scanned and documented. http://youtu.be/023bAm7-AgU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
