So my favorite new collection subset is Intellivision Inc. I'm pretty much "done" with my CIB Intellivision Inc collection with the exception of Super Series Big League Baseball, which is low priority due to the price (however, I would be interested in the loose cart or the manual if anyone has one to trade or sell ;-) ).

 

I suppose there are some subtle box variants and overlays that I still need, but right now I'm mainly focused on the obscure manuals for which there are no known corresponding boxes or cart labels. I recently discovered a rare Word Fun manual that I never knew existed, which somewhat catalyzed my desire to fill in some of these manual gaps. Here's a few pics:

Intellivision Inc Word Fun manual 1

 

I was also lucky enough to pick up a few others recently; I'll post some pics soon :cool:

 

The last (latest) few manuals on my want list are Frog Bog and Tron Solar Sailer. Does anyone have these? I'd obviously be interested in taking them off of your hands :grin: , but I'd still be interested in just seeing how many people have these...if for no other reason that just to gauge the rarity.

 

Here's Steve's Frog Bog (I really want this):

I can't find a Tron Solar Sailer pic, but I've seen them on eBay and I really want one.

Anyone else find any super obscure ones? I'll post some pics of mine soon.

 

[Just in case I'm too far down the variant collecting rabbit hole and speaking in complete nerd speak...During the later Intellivision Inc days, when packaging material quality was sacrificed for cheaper options, Intellivision games were sold with paper photocopy-looking manuals, basic white cart labels with black lettering, and all evidence of Mattel removed from any packaging/labeling text. Many of these games are common (like Night Stalker), but a few are rare (like Super Series Baseball). Not all Mattel games got the Intellivision Inc "treatment", but every once in a while an oddball manual shows up (Word Fun, Frog Bog, etc). I collect these] :)

does it have to be b&w?

 

i have a green frogbog in german and a blue one in french.

French and German ones are kinda rare to, but I'm only referring to the b&w ones that don't say Mattel anywhere on them.

I think that Word Fun is definitely a rarity as I'd never seen one until you posted it here. That is one great find!

 

I have Tron Solar Sailer but no, I do not want it taken off my hands (unless you have something to trade that I really need...) The other rare one I have is Tennis, although it's b&w the paper stock is thick.

I think I promised some pictures :)

Rare Intellivision Inc Manuals

 

The Tennis cartridge came with the Tennis manual. Can anyone guess why it's special? ;)

I threw in a pic of Backgammon for fun (even though it's the only one of the group with a documented Intellivision Inc box).

I'm still on the hunt for Frog Bog and Tron Solar Sailer! :twisted:

 

More pics! Here are some carts!

Rare Intellivision Carts

If anyone has any other double-label carts they would like to sell or trade, let me know. Same for the painted label carts. AFAIK there are only the four of those.
