I have seen the Lifestyle stickers on 0410 (slotted international), 0810 (UK) and 0910 boxes. In my experience, those boxes should also exist without the white sticker. Ah. So the one gone missing is the HK without the white sticker. Gotcha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf Tennis Word Fun (the1hatman has confirmed existence) Star Strike (unlikely that it exists, but maybe...) For reference, they look like this: Hi Jason, Do the INTV Corp. cartridges have heavy shielded PCBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've found heavy shielded PCBs for most of the Mattel games made through 1981. Of the first 26 games, I've found 23. Golf, Tennis, and Star Strike being the 3 I have yet to verify. I think Star Strike will be highly unlikely, but I suspect we'll eventually find Golf and Tennis. I've seen Word Fun, but don't own that one yet.

I can’t figure out, would you have an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find all of the games from 1980 and started finding more and more games from 1981, which surprised me. Golf, Tennis, and Word Fun were released in Oct/Nov 1980. Star Strike was Dec 1981, which is why I doubt we'll find one. I've never seen any from 1982 or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, now it’s very clear why we might find some Golf and Tennis at least… I bet all other publishers (like Parker, Imagic and so on) have no heavy shielded PCBs… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I post some pictures taken from Ebay of DK for the posterity… As I was trying to compare the UK clamshell copy of DK I picked up unexpectedly, I noticed that this picture is of a ColecoVision cartridge package...... On mine, the cartridge holder inside is not as custom as I might expect for an official package, but the wrapper is printed on paper and is not a cut down box, so I don't know. It would be easy to generate that box art today, but not originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadafermo51 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I found this box a few years ago, it's in bad condition, but I think it might be of interest to lovers of variations. ? Box and cartridge only 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and cartridge only Hi Spadafermo, It is indeed!!! Thank you very much for sharing this very interesting piece!!! It seems to be an additional category of games!!! Amazing! Could you post a pic of the interior??? Serial number? The cartridge has white label, like Intellivision Inc, but it’s Mattel! I wonder how many titles were published by Metlionics… May be there is even the consolle… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many titles were published by Metlionics… May be there is even the consolle… The BOX is Mattel, but the cartridge appears to be II. That is not out of the question, in any case. As it is missing a manual, it is also possible that the box and cartridge were not originally together. But I agree that a picture of the inside of the box, showing the part number and cart/manual retention would be lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would particularly expect that there are Arabic manuals, and Arabic boxes would not surprise me, though the Arabic consoles appear to be INTV System III vintage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other 0810 with the "G1" variant I'm aware of is the Auto Racing one. Also, but right now I'm not at home and I can't check, it seems to me that normally there in a "-" between the numbers and the "G1", that in this case is missing... Amzing that the Miliuonics version in printed, not like the Lifestyle electronics or the four CIRO Investmets that @cmart604 posted (thank you), that are with the white stiker. If you have other nuggets like this one please keep on posting!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
