Producing new INTV game carts?

[Zaxxon]

I read that the INTV carts used some special ROM chip that is long out of production by TI and thus no more game carts can be made. Are there none of these chips anywhere, not even enough to make a few hundred carts? IS there some other part that could be substituted? Could carts be made cheaply using a small EEPROM like the Cuttle cart uses?

didn't someone make a Tetris game that was released on cartridge for Intellivision within the past couple of years?

Yes.
There was a new game called 4TRIS which is a Tetris game for the Intellivision.

The creator was a fellow named Joe Zbiciak.
I think it would be a good idea to contact him if you wanted to homebrew INTY games.
In fact he worked for Texas Instruments.

well there was the intellicart, a supercharger like device produced a few years ago, but its no longer being made. maybe someday they'll crank out another batch, right now its a pretty exclusive club.

I had seen the 4tris webpage but never the Philly Classic 4tris page. If you follow the link at the top it says he was going to make more but that was in 2001. It also seems like any game (under 16K I think) can be made into a cartridge. So why hasn't anyone else done this? Aren't there a bunch of games that have programmed that can be used with emulators? This subject has come up before and I have never really seen a good answer. Is it just that they are too expensive to make or just that the people/person who are able to make the carts don't want to do it.
Thanks, y-bot
