INTV 2 Incompatible Games

[RangerG]

I have an Intellivision II that I found and I want to mod (A/V) and set up. I have Sears Super Arcade controllers for it because the Inty 2 ones are really bad in my opinion. Are there any of the games that don't work on the Inty 2 that I would be missing? It seems to me like mostly Coleco titles, which get pretty bad reviews. Does anyone like any of the games that would be incompatible? Thanks for the opinions.

It won't play Donkey Kong, Mouse Trap, Carnival, or Electric Company Word Fun. Super Pro Football has a major bug where you don't see the quarterback as I recall, and Space Spartans and Shark Shark! have sound issues.

Mouse Trap is excellent. Carnival is average, and Donkey Kong is terrible. Space Spatans and Shark Shark! are great games, but still very much playable on a Intellivision II. Super Pro Football was a nice game too. I don't remember much about Electric Company Word Fun, but your not missing much with that.

Hmmm - so I'm basically missing out on Mouse Trap and Carnival (which are better anyway on Colecovision). Shark Shark has cool sounds, so that is a minor issue (and Super Pro Football may be interesting). Does Turbo play on he INTVII? Thanks for the response.

Turbo plays fine, I believe I listed all the problem games.

Turbo works great on an INTV2. It's much more convenient than the ColecoVison version though not nearly as pretty to look at. Still plays great though!

Great replies, thanks!
