mthompson Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I don't get it. Why assemble and publish another list of modern releases and arbitrarily exclude some games but include others? If the point is to catalog Intellivision games sold in the last 20+ years so others can know the history and what may pop up for sale at some point, then all the physical releases should be there. Let's not split hairs (unless the game was sold only at the Hair Splitters Convention, in which case you might have a point). Blix – the first run in 2014 was 30 copies and then in 2019 it was bundled with Chocolate Mine and makes this list. It's already listed separately at IntellivisionRevolution.com so why the change of heart? Piggy Bank was a "cartridge in a baggie" release (no box), but it makes this list of games released CIB? Supposedly the box is the big deal, as some games are in the list multiple times for getting new boxes. • I do like that this list is chronological! 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I find it fascinating to be witnessing the time where homebrew scene reaches and surpasses the original production run of 125 games. While there's no realistic way to determine the exact title to be #125, I think all of the games coming out in the autumn/winter of 2022 fall into the "125 Era" for INTV homebrews. It's a special time to be around the community. Although part of me thinks we would've hit this point at least a year ago had covid not been a thing. Eh... better late than never! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is kind of absurd that we're arguing over the number of home-brews because there are so many, published in so many different formats, and released so close together that its hard to keep track of all of them. What a wonderful time to be an Intellivision fan! 😊 -dZ. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I don't really see it as an argument as much as a discussion. It is tough to nail down an exact number after all... Are Blix (original) and Blix & Chocolate Mine counted separate? Is Lock 'N' Chase 8K even a homebrew? How do we categorize the Blue Sky Rangers releases? Do Blowout, Hard Hat, Space Cadet and the combined Party Line count as 3 titles and a combo - 4 titles - 1 title with variations? How does everyone view the LTO Flash and FW Diagnostics carts? Or the Intellicart for that matter? Does everything have to be CIB to count? What about ROMs? Is Gyruss just a variation of Deep Zone? Man, that one alone will spark a year-long debate! There's too much grey area to even approach a consensus so I like the view that anything that comes out between Sept-Dec 2022 as part of the "125 Era" and they all get some credit in reaching the milestone. Share the love between all the publishers/programmers that helped get us there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of anybody who gives his ROM away and still gets people asking him when is he going to re-release his game.

Just the fact that we're celebrating crossing the magical 125 threshold on a 40+ year old system is truly remarkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the box is the big deal, as some games are in the list multiple times for getting new boxes. Piggy Bank did sell 128 copies. That might be one of the reasons. As the Mattel Demo Carts or Test Carts were never counted as the 125 it would make sense that you would not count Cuttle Cart, InteliCart, LTO Carts and the Diagnostic Cart.
