Chuck D. Head Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This is very cool. I am thinking about concentrating on completing Sears vs the 125, so this may come in very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't have a working INTV system, so I was hoping some of you INTV experts could help me out. On the Horse Racing overlay, are the colors on the keypad important to the game play? I've read through the manual and I can't seem to find any reference to colors on the keypad other than the horses on the screen match the keypad colors. Basically, is it important that the keypad color be retained overlay for proper game play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I think its time for intellivsiondude to make a video on the horse racing game and make comments on whether kepad colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, is it important that the keypad color be retained overlay for proper game play? It's been a while since I played this, but I took a peek at it tonight. I think (and anyone feel free to correct me) that the only thing you need the colors for on the Overlay is for choosing your horse on the betting screen: After you bet your amount and choose Win (W) or Exacta (E), you have to choose the color of the horse. Without having color on the overlay, you could just start pressing 1-8 and see what pops up on the screen. If you press 1 for instance, you'll get a pink P. See the pic (column on the right) for details. One way around using colors would be to replace the numbers with the letter codes, but you still would need the numbers for betting. Another possibility would be to try to fit both the number and the letter code on each button, but that could get confusing and the horse pics on each button already take up most of the space (and look friggin sweet). Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stc2009 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Nice. I'm tempted to get sears variants just to use these overlays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Very nice! I particularly like the frog bog one. Menacing but cute with the sun and moon diagrams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 LOL! I can't believe how excited I am for a set of overlays. There's something wrong with me. These look incredible. I really like the blue Backgammon background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voltron Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Agreed, stock up now You see how much orphan overlays go for, so, sp stock up hold and resell later. But im not a seller so im only planing on two sets one to have and one for future trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just want to let you guys know that I'm playing around with the idea of putting this overlay set in its own full size game box. If I do decide to go with the full size game box, it will not be a gate fold box (I believe that is what the door flap boxes are called). It needs to be something I can make myself to keep costs low. The box would be the same size (and thickness) as a standard Sears Tele-games Super Video Arcade game box, so you would be able to display it with the rest of your collection. Here is my WIP. Remember it is just the WIP layout that I'm using for prototyping and isn't meant as a finished product (basically it is still missing some details that I will not be able to include until I'm finished with the overlays). Let me know what you guys think so far: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you guys think so far: I think the box and overlay art looks great. Do you have ETA on when you'd be selling, I'd be interested in a set or two... as I was one who looked at orphan overlays as too expensive when they were first out for $75... boy was I wrong.

mojotv67 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I love the box artwork, it captures the vibe. This is definitely a must have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Phil, this thing just keeps getting cooler by the second! Please make that box. The artwork absolutely captures the feel of the Sears games. Outstanding. I would absolutely pay a premium for this.....a number of copies of this to be honest.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 OMG, I love the box! The lady on the front is smokin'. Where is she from? I didn't see her on any of the games or the console box. Original design? I'd go with more cleavage I would also be interested in multiple sets. I'm planning on completely converting all 29 of my games with the new labels and overlays and storing them that way. I originally wanted to keep them original, but I think they will be better off all matching like they were meant to be. I'd buy another set or two to keep unopened and collectible. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well, I guess I will need to find a way to make the box happen too. Where is she from? I didn't see her on any of the games or the console box. Original design? Unfortunately, it's not an original design. I don't have that kind of skill (I wish I did). The image was taken from a 1981 Sears Super Video Arcade mini catalog. Right now I show game boxes next to the lady. I plan on changing that to be my overlays. I'm just using the game boxes (which is from the same catalog) as a place holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
