nofrills100 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I just picked up a box full of CIB Intellivision games for 50 cents.... Yep 50 cents for the lot! - I couldn't turn it down! Being a total noob to Intellivision myself, can anyone tell me if there are any rares here? I'm guessing they are all PAL, those I've inspected have stickers inside as well.

wolfy62 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 It looks like the Auto Racing game may be a variant from another country and worth something. Cmart would know this.......Cmart....Cmart? Other than that all common games are fun to play yet not worth anything if you are looking to sell.

+cmart604 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Well for 50 cents you certainly did well. probably the rarest game there is the French Canadian Sharp Shot, followed by the International Ice Trek, then Pac Man. The Qbert looks to be in pretty good shape, as well as Empire, those are both worth a decent amount. Nothing super rare but some good solid games there, it's just too bad most of them seem to have tape on the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Auto Racing is French Canadian, not particularly rare but still cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Start collecting them, Intellivision crowd is pretty cool although I haven't taken the plunge myself... I find myself looking at the list of 125 and strongly pondering expansion, lol. If a box like that fell in my lap though, it would be a no brainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 A steal! You got a nice batch of games that hits several high notes in the library. Like cmart said, nothing ultra-rare, but a great selection of some of the most well-loved games: BurgerTime, Astrosmash, Deadly Discs, D&D, Lock 'n' Chase, Pac-Man... Awesome find.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) The French Canadian Sharp Shot is indeed a nice find! I was lucky enough to pick one up recently. Your Intellivision Inc Sea Battle is a little tough to find, but probably not worth too much especially in that condition. Someone might be interested if you're interested in trading or selling it. The gatefold Mission X and gatefold Burgertime are kinda rare too, but not worth too much. Too bad they aren't the French Canadian ones Also, is that Buzz Bombers the gatefold box version? All in all, it's a great starter set for a gamer. Lots of really fun playable titles in there.

nofrills100 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Cheers guys! I might have to get an intellivision after all. How does the intellivision rate for graphics and game play compared to the 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The graphics are great. Im still struggling with adapting to the controllers a bit. Im just so used to 2600 sticks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The graphics are great. Im still struggling with adapting to the controllers a bit. Im just so used to 2600 sticks...the big thing to remember is a lot of stuff isnt tap tap your directions like a joystick you hold a direction and then scroll around like you did on an ipod from 2005. If you remember the scrolling it makes some games a lot more playable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers welcome to the darkside. Please take of your coat and stay a while. Once you start hanging out in the intellivision section your gonna realize all the cool people and all the cool shit they do for each other. You may not want to leave. This place is like a drug filled, mind controlling, intoxicating mist. You think you are just visiting and next thing you know you never leave.

freewheel Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You aren't gonna retire from the profit you could make or anything, but that's a lot better than most INTV collections I find. Games like Star Wars, Mission X, Ice Trek, Pac-Man - these don't exactly come up every day. Some I have never seen in the wild after 15 years of collecting.

nofrills100 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Had a closer inspection of the haul today and noticed that the French Canadian Sharp Shot is actually missing the cartridge, as are a few others. I don't know if it is worth it to anyone, but the box for Sharp Shot is in pretty good condition with manual and overlays - I'd be happy to send it to someone for the cost of postage. Also - JasonlikesINTV - the buzz bombers is gatefold. I've decided that these are going to ebay - I have too many collections of things already, a pity, but the reality is that I'd rather focus on the 2600.

I don't think the cart would make much of a difference, since it used the standard U.S. cart which is easy to find. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmannewhobby Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Out of curiosity what would someone pay for the starwars game in a good 8 out of 10 box with no overlays or inatructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Out of curiosity what would someone pay for the starwars game in a good 8 out of 10 box with no overlays or inatructions?Star Wars never originally had overlays. A boxed version with instructions usually sells for around $10-15. Here's a decent deal for Star Wars and BurgerTime: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 161434359749 Condition can add a lot of value, though. A really nice one can run $20-25 and a factory sealed one recently went for around $70+ Edited September 29, 2014 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmannewhobby Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yeah ok, cheers. No instructions with it so it wouldnt be worth selling. IM glad its not worth much. I enjoyed playing it and if it was worth heaps id be keen to sell haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever come across a Super Cobra or Tutankham (also by Parker Brothers), now those are worth a bit more If you love them, they are all priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmannewhobby Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Its the coin I need, the consoles are rare as hens teeth over here. A single console not tested is around 30 bucks and a working tested one is over 100. Ill need a few to get mine to work unless I can find a good parts supply. So if something was worth a lot i would offload to pay for parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
