mr_me Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Somebody knows. My guess is that it will come with a sample set of overlays to save costs. And a supplemental set sold seperately is unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The hand controllers should have touchscreens that load the overlay image of the game being played. Overlays are for the 1970s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think somebody knows whether FDR is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nobody knows, because it hasn't been officially announced yet. Oh, and FDR has been dead for 72 years, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I don't think I've been dead for 72 years. That is about 25 years longer than I've been alive Don't spread such rumors... I think somebody knows whether FDR is dead. Yeah, my wife saw me leaving for work today, so at least there is somebody out there that knows I am not dead, yet. Or at least I wasn't dead at the time that she saw me this morning We'll see my status when I arrive home this evening 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nobody knows. We're still working out details of the final form the product will take. My vote is all overlays included. Or have an optional supplemental pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 More overlays out of the box would be good for the games that use the keypad. More than half the games don't and don't need overlays. Buzz Bombers doesn't need overlays. The most important thing is the controllers are quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BBWW Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Someone should develop this and lose some money for the cause. The hand controllers should have touchscreens that load the overlay image of the game being played. Overlays are for the 1970s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifthPlayer Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) The Nintendo DS version of "Intellivision Lives" does exactly this - it uses the lower touchscreen to display the image of the overlay for the game. I wish this had been updated for the 3DS with the emulation glitches (like missing arrow count sound in Cloudy Mountain, and missing voices in Space Spartans) cleaned up - it would have been the definitive Intellivision collection on modern hardware.

Hwlngmad Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Word has come down that there will not be an Intellivision Flashback 2 this year, but could very much be possible for 2018. Definitely it is a bit of a bummer, but I would rather have the product be right than have just a minor improvement over the original. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Especially if they were able to get the Imagic, Intellivision, Interphase, and other third-party games into it. I wish it could have happened, but it doesn't seem likely now. Unless AtGames has some more secret surprises ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Get an ultimate flashback upgrade then you'll have all the games plus hdmi output, well worth the cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Or get a Raspberry Pi, or use any old computer you already have; plus Intellivision controller USB adaptors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
