Intellivision cart question (?Telegames)

[skoldpadda]

First, I have never bought a telegames cart... I know they make them for Colecovision; do they make them also for Intellivision? If so, how does this affect their value vis-a-vis what's listed at the online rarity guide? Here is why I ask:

There are several other R6+ Intellivision games on Ebay with this same generic looking black and white label. Smells fishy to me.

I've had to explain this to someone else recently, forgot who.

The B&W text labels are late-era INTV games, when Mattel had sold the rights to the system off to "INTV, Inc." - who then had to produce the games on a somewhat tighter budget than Mattel did. So many of your late-era games don't have gatefold boxes, color labels, and overlays. Dig Dug was a late-era game. Not really that fishy.

What PDF said is correct. "Telegames" that owns the rights to Colecovision games and released some generic labeled cartridges has nothing to do with "Tele-Games" which is the Sears version of Intellivision and Atari. Sears Tele-Games Intellivision games come in maroon boxes but the cartridges are identical to Mattel versions. Telegames did/does sell Intellivsion cartridges but they don't manufacture them. I think everything that seller is selling is legit. They have a bad reputation but I don't think they sell bogus merchandise.
