Certifiable Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi all, I really want copies of these two games...badly. They used to be a couple of favorites of mine back in the day. There is a sealed Choplifter on the Bay right now but I'm afraid buyers are going to go apeshit for it, and the only pictures on the internet of Choplifter come from this forum. The Left Turn Only website states they are "temporarily" out of stock of the $50 version of Space Patrol. How long has it said that and are there plans to release more boxed copies of it? It would sure help knowing that so I can decide how much to bid for it whenever it comes up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Joe recently said on Facebook some more copies of Space Patrol will be available soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Lol, the only choplifter i see on ebay for intellivision is that red magnet! That art they used is a mock up box design i did. The red intv style! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I was able to purchase Choplifter from Intelligentvision at the end of last year after they had been sent out to the lucky few that got them for free. My guess is that David no longer has any available but you may want to contact him directly and find out for sure.

bikeguychicago Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I was bidding on the Space Patrol currently on eBay but it's getting to be too rich for my blood (and probably will be even more so by the time the auction is complete). So, I am instead waiting it out until Joe has more available. I'd rather my money go directly to Joe anyway so that he can continue to produce such excellent titles as these.

My guess is that David no longer has any available but you may want to contact him directly and find out for sure. Actually, everyone paid for Choplifter (it was the "secret" game). Deep Pockets was the "bonus" to the loyal buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red intv style! Heh, guess I need to proof read my posts better, I meant the copy of Space Patrol that's already at bigger bux than when new. If there are going to be more copies of Space Patrol available (do you know if they will be boxed, as well?) I would also rather purchase directly from the maker, that way I may be able to afford more than one Would be awesome if true, it hasn't been available since it came out in '07, has it? Thanks for the link to David W's site, seeing actual copies of Choplifter (complete with overlays and color manual, no less) just makes me want it even more...

+DZ-Jay Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 left turn only, joe the creator had space patrols sold boxed last year. left turn only sold both space patrol and christmas carol. Joe said he was going to have more Space Patrol for sale soon. I think he's still catching up at work after his BIG MOVE. Christmas Carol, as far as I know, is still available.

SoulBlazer Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So I guess no one is really sure if Choplifter is going to be sold again, huh? It's a great game, I still play the arcade and C64 ports to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great game, I still play the arcade and C64 ports to this day. I would highly doubt it at this point, I believe David is done with releasing games. I'm still holding out hope we'll see Super Chef and maybe another release or two from him in the future but I sense that is it for the earlier releases. David, if you're listening.....

mjarnold7 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I been doing my best to prod him into releasing some games (right David?). I know it's a lot of work and he was trying to maybe not do a shell at all, let the buyer do that....I would STILL buy it, how about everyone else??

Janzl Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Yes! Even a cart only or downloadable rom release. I really want to play this game as I have heard so many good things about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other threads with more information, but the result as I remember it, was that the unlicensed aspect of those releases angered some people and he received legal threats, so he made it clear he is out of production entirely. His last releases were merely a gift to his very close customers, and that was it. Now, William has been hinting that Intellivision Productions may be releasing some older titles including previously unreleased games. I don't know if or when that will happen, so there is that hope. dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certifiable Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks for the info guys, appreciate it. The only really rare game I have is one copy of Fathom, so unless anyone wants to sell me a copy of Choplifter outright I suppose I'll just have to keep lurking auction sites. It does appear to come up on eBay every couple of months or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 So the Space Patrol that was on eBay went for over $170... I guess patience truly is a virtue (plus it's less taxing on the wallet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually go for between $150-175. Are you still looking for one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess patience truly is a virtue (plus it's less taxing on the wallet). Yeah, I'm not super happy about the price it went for either, but since it was sealed there is always going to be someone who wants it real bad. They usually go for between $150-175. Are you still looking for one? Yes, absolutely!! I want one to play, if anyone has a copy they can part with I'm in for whatever the going rate is...

bikeguychicago Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 They usually go for between $150-175. Are you still looking for one? I am. But I think I will wait and pay the $50 Joe is asking for it and give the money to hime directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
