bikeguychicago Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 We did some renovation in the basement and my wife was like......"get those games out of my view" LOL Well, here it is, under the bar : You could probably do what IntyMike did with his games and use Ikea shelves. Instead of having the open look, however, you can get the frosted glass doors for the units to 'hide' the games. Doing so would probably result in the game boxes providing a nice, rainbow pattern through the doors that your wife would warm to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I put this pic here just because of Robot Rubble and League of Light. Until a few weeks ago I did not know that they are so rare, much rarer of other homebrews. Probably the rarest just after the first two releases of 4-Tris and Blix. When I'm back home I must take more pictures with a better scenography... Edited August 7, 2015 by intellivotion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Is there any knowledge about how many copies were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Is there any knowledge about how many copies were made? 100 copies. I've checked the message I received then. Edited August 7, 2015 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 100 copies. I've checked the message I received then. I never received this message Very sad.... for me ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 But is 100 really THAT rare? I mean we are celebrating them as holy grales, but 100-200 is pretty normal, isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purchases were limited to only one set for each individual. No way to buy multiple copies to re-sell after one week on eBay. That was a wise decision, I think. Nobody has extra copies to sell, and copies are put for sale just when a collector choses to quit. EDIT: I think this explains their rarity Edited August 7, 2015 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 @ Intellivotion Sounds like a BIG bubble In fact its not much more rare than most other homebrews which cost 100 bucks, interessting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Not sure I agree - other than 1st 2 small runs of 4tris and blix, only the next 2 runs of 4tris and these two had a run as small as 100. Add to that that they were limited to one per person and they along with the 4tris's command quite a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that that they were limited to one per person and they along with the 4tris's command quite a premium. I checked the old messages I have and this is what was told at that time (and I don't have any reason to doubt it). - 100 copies of the the IntelligentVision 4-Tris were made - the firs run of LTO 4-Tris was 100 copies with serial number. I have found the announcement of a second run with non serialized copies (the number of reissued copies was not specified) - 150 copies of Minehuner were made - 150 copies of SameGame & Robots 2005 were made (but some of the copies have a different ROM. The copy I have is the first version. I think this was not publicly known at that time, but it became public knowledge when SameGame & Robots 2012 was released) Edited August 8, 2015 by intellivotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 intellivotion, Agree with everything you wrote. If I remember correctly the LTO version of 4tris had 100 serialized and another 50 that were not serialized. I cannot confirm this so if anyone has more accurate info please correct me but I agree with above post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot confirm this so if anyone has more accurate info please correct me but I agree with above post. Just to be as accurate as possible, it was said that the first 100 copies of SG&R 2005 have the first version of the ROM; the copies 100-150 have the second one (identical to SG&R 2012 ?!?! Who knows..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Back to what Ignorama wrote, and if the information I have are correct, Robot Rubble and League of Light are as rare as the IntelligentVision 4-Tris, with only one difference: that 4-Tris is a variant of a game that had been already released (first run and Philly Classic edition) and then re-released by LTO. The hardcore collectors may wish to have all of them, but the most of us have at least one of the variants. There are only 99 copies of RR and LoL out there and one in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I swear I remember a couple of the Intelligentvision games getting into the 200-250 range....maybe Stonix and ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Stonix. Perhaps even 4-Tris. I don't find any information about the reissue after the first 100 copies Edit: the LTO 4-Tris was reissued, not the IntelligentVision one. cmart604, I have no idea of a second IntelligentVision game that was made in 200-250 copies...

+cmart604 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Maybe it was the original version of Space Patrol, with a couple of batches? Joe could confirm. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Robot Rubble and League of Light had a run of 100 after the first four Intelligentvision games were released. Some of those may not have ever seen the light of day. Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intellivotion Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Maybe it was the original version of Space Patrol, with a couple of batches? Joe could confirm. More than 300 copies of Space Patrol were made: http://spacepatrol.info/ A limited number of them in the new shell. cmart604, I take the chance to write that I have seen what you have: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/229915-crazy-intellivision-homebrews-shelves/?p=3081410 WWWOOOOWWWW !!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only 99 copies of RR and LoL out there and one in here But again: 99 is not so ultimative rare. Its quite a high number. As I told: A bubble. Blix was MUCH cheaper than 800 when it appeared and its much more rare. And I doubt that "its a crap game" count as argument. If the argument is "it has no box" I also do not understand it, because it never had a box, so its simply not available in a boxes version ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are many more. Those "many more" can't purchase a copy of RR or LoL until one of the those 100 actual possessors choose to sell it, as it happened with IntellivisionD. 100 it's a quite high number, as you write, but much lower than the number of the people who would like to have them Very probably the number of the Spiker's is far higher than 100, but look at the prices it is usually sold.
