Kefka15 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Lol. I bet the guy selling the other Spiker feels like shit watching this one soar over his in price. Condition matters a lot lol. I just recently picked up a loose one which I was more than happy with for the time being lol. Too bad it isn't in my finances to bid on this one at the moment.

+DZ-Jay Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I keep seeing these auctions. Is it that the game is so rare, or is it really that good? I buy my toys to play with them, so I can't really relate to paying $1K for a crappy game just because it's the only one in existence.

SoulBlazer Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've played the game in emulation (on the Intelivsion Lives collection) and it's actually a very good volleyball game. I think later games beat it (such as Kings of the Beach for the NES and DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball for XBox and 360) but for it's day and age it was awsome, and still seems to be fun today with another human. You can tell a lot of care and work went into this one, and the physics are amazing, as well as the nice touches. I'd say this is a game worth playing.

+thegoldenband Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I tried Spiker a bit in jzintv but wasn't able to get a grip on it. It did seem promising, though. OTOH I can't say I had a positive impression of Stadium Mud Buggies -- it seemed like a tarted-up version of Motocross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 There are now 3 boxed Spikers on Ebay. Although one has a beat up box. Still, this has to be the most on at one time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I personally don't think they're as rare as the general collecting population thinks them to be. I'm not saying that in a vain attempt to drive prices down either. I already have my copy. I just really think the rarity is overblown. I'd put it 4-5 down the INTV rarity list myself.

Spiker has generally been the 'R10' in the Intellivision original 125 officially released games. Should it me bumped down a notch or two since there is a few that have surfaced now and late last year? Before that I think there was about a 2 year spell with no Spiker coming up for sale. Then one of the first real auctions last year it sold for 1,150 and 1,800 respectively. There were a couple others but they were buyitnow or side deals. Lets see what these two sell for first i say. You may be right though, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right though, who knows. These may (and probably will) sell for very large $$$$. I'm not disputing that in the least. Those $$$$ are driven by perception. The perception is that this is THE game to have for INTV and that drives prices as someone recently mentioned to a "status symbol" if you will. My personal perception (maybe right maybe wrong) is that it is not the top INTV game for rarity. I actually think the much less sexy Learning Fun games are more rare. Just one man's opinion based on 23 years of collecting for the Intellivision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
