Duglor Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi. New Here. I sure am interested in getting a pack of these overlays......but not at $250! goodness me! I wish I had purchased them back when they came out. I only recently discovered the flashback a week ago. (sigh) I wonder if paper overlays work at all? or what else can be used if anything. -Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been people that print on paper or even transparency film. With the expected release of the Intellivision Flashback 2, we can hope for a re-release of the overlay pack for the FB1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Where are you seeing $250? That does seem really high. Was this for the Flashback Overlays packs or one of the rare Orphan Overlay packs (those get expensive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably cheaper to buy the original overlays off of eBay, even if they come with cartridges you can't plug into the Flashback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys here might have extras they might sell and they are better quality than the flashback versions. Maybe start a new thread with a list of overlays you're looking for.

JasonlikesINTV Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) It all depends on what you're going for. The original supplemental overlay pack for the Flashback (2014/2015) was a STEAL at $15, especially since overlays for orphan (INTV Corp) games were included. Prior to that set, single pairs of Orphan Overlays by Psycho Stormtrooper were selling for an average of $6-8 with some (Diner) occasionally selling for up to $25 There was a recent price surge where a few sets (<10) sold between $100-300, however the most recent sale on eBay was $52...still high, but it's hard to beat $1/pair under any conditions. Homebrewers can chime in if I'm way off. If you emulate, use a multicart, or only have the loose carts and just want overlays, you have a few options: 1. Originals on eBay: Individually, you probably won't find any for less than $2/pair ($0.99 + $1.00 shipping). You might find a seller with a bunch who is cool with combining shipping. I occasionally see bigger (more affordable) lots on eBay, but it's hit or miss. 2. Make your own: Much more work and potentially expensive if you want quality. 3. Ask around here or post in the wanted section of the marketplace. Maybe someone will throw you a bone. 4. Honestly, most games don't require them and as you learn the game you stop looking anyway. There are pics of the overlays in the manuals and ample online sources where you can reference/print them. However, some games do use the keypad more heavily. You may want actual overlays for those (D&D, Tron, Utopia, Night Stalker, Sea Battle, Sub Hunt, etc), but they'll take a beating (and are harder to find in good condition). Summary: If you're just putting out a feeler for a cheap set, good luck. You never know until you ask. If you're willing to put some work into it, read up and try making some...or put some time into aggressively hunting for them (ebay, retro stores/sites, etc). How many games are we talking? 10 or 125? The less you need, I'd recommend buying originals on eBay. Want a complete set? Tougher task. Either way, good luck!

Duglor Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thanks for the advice. Will ask in the marketplace. -Doug It all depends on what you're going for.

Illtiger1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Wow, this is insane. Glad I bothered the hell out of them with emails after my preorder for the overlays took months to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I admit I've never used mine even with all the hassle I went through to get them. If these are really going for a couple hundred I should think about selling mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonlikesINTV Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Yeah, what's odd is that the $200 one sold just hours before this one at auction (sold for ~$80): eBay Auction -- Item Number: 322662782313 I mean, great sale for Fushek, but the buyer must have thought the other auction would exceed $200 and jumped on the BIN. Don't get me wrong, they're really cool and even at $100 for a set of 52 pairs it's not a bad deal. Brand new overlays for $2/pair would be tough to beat on eBay. But $200? I guess I'm glad I grabbed 3 packs at $15/pack What really blows my mind is that these go for $200, but a pack of Sears overlays won't sell at $125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they didn't notice the auction? The irony of the situation is that I used profit from selling overlays to buy more overlays. Ordered one of the "blemished" Imagic overlay sets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
