PaulMcCraneFan Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I picked up an Intellivision II system at Goodwill last night, but the power adapter that was with it isn't the right one. Anyone know where I can get one? Checked eBay, no luck there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 This is a handy page: http://users.erols.com/tiltonj/games/tech/power.html I used the 5200 power supply for awhile on my IntvII until I found an original power supply. It worked without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcCraneFan Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 Fortunately I also own a 5200 and the power supply works great for the INTV II. Thank you so much for the info!!! So I'm using a 5200 adapter and the video cable from my 7800 (which is actually just generic RCA cables). Nothing like running a Mattel system with Atari hookups. Have you tried any Coleco games on your INTV II? I read on an INTV site that Coleco games don't work on this unit, which is a bummer because I love Donkey Kong.

oesii Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Yep, it's a bummer, I only have Intv II systems right now so I can't play DK or Mouse Trap on them. But this keeps me on the lookout for a cheap original Intv or Intv III, and I always enjoy a good hunt Here's some of the sad story : http://www.digitpress.com/eastereggs/intvmaster2.htm My current favorite games on the Intv are Beauty and the Beast and Burgertime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcCraneFan Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 At least I know not to bother getting Coleco games unless I can track down an INTV or INTV III. Am moving to California in a few weeks, so hopefully I will have more luck finding things there. Bigger city and more thrift stores at least. I only have 6 games so far, but BurgerTime is definitely my favorite. It's a billion times better than the Atari version. I love that game and I was so disappointed with the Atari version when I got it. I also have Frogger for INTV and I actually like the Atari versions (I have both 2600 and 5200) better. And I would say that the Atari and INTV versions of The Empire Strikes Back are about equal. Thanks again for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 INTV Burgertime is excellent. Bump N Jump is also quite good, it was my favorite game when i was a kid. Check out Beauty and the Beast, its the best Donkey Kong clone out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcCraneFan Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 I love Bump n Jump, too. I have the Atari version, and I think it's pretty good. Will get a copy of Beauty and the Beast when I have the money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
