the1hatman Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 SO WHAT ARE THE BARE BOARDS???? C'mon, I'm hoping for a Spiker prototype here! I love how freewheel swings for the fences! People love to say "Don't get your hopes up!" but where's the fun in that? It'd be cool even if one of them turns out to be Thunder Castle or something on that level 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/257994-found-a-bunch-of-intellivision-games-on-craigslist/page/2/#findComment-3612154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric7100 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 As I mentioned before, I tested all the games and they work.But I haven't tested the circuit boards because I don't want to short them out or anything. Do I need to put them in the shell to test?Also, one has a sticker that says "j-pac". What does that mean?

Kiwi Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Groovybee post said you can insert them with the circuit board ROMs facing the ceiling. And congratulations on getting the job. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/257994-found-a-bunch-of-intellivision-games-on-craigslist/page/2/#findComment-3612202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Insert them with the Intellivision off and don't touch them when the Intellivision is on. It might be physically easier with a shell but not necessary. Don't put them in upside down. Curious what the part numbers and date codes are. Are you sure the one with j-pac sticker is an Intellivision cartridge? Don't put it in if its not. Post a good picture of it.

Eric7100 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Curious what the part numbers and date codes are. The "j-pac" ROM chip has no numbers. It only says "1983 Atari".

Eric7100 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I am testing the boards. A few are just common games (Poker & Blackjack, MLB Baseball, Tron Maze-A-Tron, and Space Battle). One is kind of rare (Triple Action). And two of the boards don't work. The one that says "j-pac" must be for a Commodore 64 or a computer... because it doesn't work.

The little sticker says in full: "J-pac test '84 atari". And the "black rom thing" only says "1983 atari korea" and some faded numbers that I can't see. And the back says "atari 1983" and "43".

Eric7100 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have a friend that may have a C64, and I am going to his house to test the "j-pac". Just in case it's a computer game.

accousticguitar Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I have a friend that may have a C64, and I am going to his house to test the "j-pac". Just in case it's a computer game. Is that safe? I've heard putting a C64 cart into an Intellivision can fry it. Not sure about the other way around though.

mr_me Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) It looks like an Intellivision cartridge, the way some of the pins on the left connect to each other. edit: probably pac-man like kiwi suggested Edited October 15, 2016 by mr_me Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/257994-found-a-bunch-of-intellivision-games-on-craigslist/page/2/#findComment-3612242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you guys WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS... I think it is an unreleased game! I am in utter shock that it's working. It seems to be... JR. PAC-MAN!!!!!! I'm making a YouTube video right now.

mr_me Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Congratulations. Thats quite a find!!! Mike Winans was the last programmer remaining in that office. Would make sense that he was working on it. What about the other unknown cartridge you have. Edit: There are other Atarsoft titles that have yet to be discovered.
