+JasonlikesINTV Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think I've only come across a few bad Mattel carts: NBA and Snafu. Other than that 2x Hover Force and a White Water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Out of about 200 Intellivision cartridges I have one bad NFL Football. That's it. It refuses to work. Similar for me. Out of ~500 cartridges, I've only encountered 2 bad cartridges. I definitely recommend wiggling the cartridge out a little bit while the power is off and then trying again. It is a common quirk for the Intellivision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have two cartridges that only work at the very slightest, minimum insertion. The shell is sealed and I've tried cleaning the contacts with Isopropyl alcohol on a qtip. Any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafa_123 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I have an Astrosmash and a Football cartridge that won't work. I tried cleaning it with some contact cleaner, eraser and 2000 grit sand paper. I also tried slightly pulling the cartridge and using the Intellivoice without luck. I think these cartridge are pretty much dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have a ton of Lock N Chase Boards from commons I'm gutting for shells. Send me a PM I'll send you a good board to put in it. Anybody want to buy 500 to 700 Games Boards without shells....many games - many dupes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody want to buy 500 to 700 Games Boards without shells....many games - many dupes. Yes, I may be interested in a few. I'll need to confirm what my questionable carts are and make a list and see what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nurmix Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Off hand, I think I've had about 6 or 7 dead carts. Two that come to mind are White Water and Body Slam SP Wrestling. [sigh] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The last batch of 500 were all Mattel carts with Screws. Saw none of what you needed. If you have any from my Inty wanted list, im interested. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Semi-related, how often have you run into a cart that is too large to fit into the cartridge slot? I have an Activision Pitfall that is maybe a couple of millimeters too big to actually fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) So, it's probably not an Intellivision cart. Maybe it's the C64 version. Edited September 8, 2018 by Intymike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Yep, sounds like a C64 cart. I remember seeing a Frogger II cart in a box of Intellivision stuff at a local shop years and years and years ago and almost passed out before getting home... only to find that it was, indeed, a C64 cart.

Mockduck Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Interesting, it does indeed look like the C64 cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I've only had one bad cart but then I've only got 23 in total ? It is a AD&D cart that loads the title screen, starts the game but stops here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
