I was going through my Intellivision collection and extras the other day and I thought I would share some of my findings and I have a few questions. I mostly have info about games but I do have one thing to share about Intellivision 1 consoles. I had one once that I stupidly got rid of that had a low serial number and the controllers were flat where the overlay is inserted instead of having a lip at the top of the controller. Anyway the rest of this is about games.
first style Mattel with book style box, full color instructions, overlays with proffesional sports logos on them, and cartridges that are brwon, heavy, and have no "insert to" line on them. There are about 10-15 of these including MLB Baseball, NFL Football, Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack, & Space Battle.
second style Mattel with book style box, less colorful instructions, overlays without logos, black cartridges with "insert to" line molded in. This is what you usually see.
Sears red/maroon boxes, similar color instructions, standard overlays, cartridge with color label and no proffesional sports logos. All three DP guides I have say Sears games have white labels with black letters. There is no way that is right.
Intellivision, Inc. non book style boxes, black & white instructions (not sure if they are all this way), same overlays as Mattel, cartridge label could be color or black & white. I have Big League Baseball box (cart is B&W and just says "Baseball"), Basketball box (B&W" Basketball" on cart), Football box (B&W "Football" on cart). I've never seen Alpine Skiing but it is probably like this.
INTV Corp. non book style boxes, always B&W instructions, very few overlays, always B&W label (several styles though).
Some questions I have:
Do the Baseball overlays with the mits on them go to World Championship Baseball, World Series Major League Baseball, or both? I have a pair that are plastic and another that are more like paper. I also have World Cup Soccer that are like paper.
Do Atarisoft, Parker Bros., or Interphase games have overlays? Do any Coleco games besides Mouse Trap have overlays?
Does anyone have every Sears sports cartridge without the logos?
Were the brown computer and synthesizer released in Canada? I saw one with a bilingual box on ebay recently.
I guess that's it for now.
Thanks, y-bot
