Diffrence between Mattel and Sears Intellivision games
How can one tell the difference when all one has is the cart? It seems to me that they both have a Mattel copyright.
As far as I have been informed, you can't tell the difference.
There is a lot of conflicting information about Sears carts. I think that a Sears version should not have logos such as MLB, NFL, NBA on them but just because they don't have those doesn't make them Sears. They could be late Intellivision Inc. releases. I think there are still a few sports titles that I have never seen without the logos. I do know that the white labels are not Sears even though that has been reported in the DP guide.
Thanks, y-bot
Yeah, it's all pretty random, unless you have the original box, or sealed, it's probably not possible to tell at all....
Maybe someone here could open up a known intelli cart and a known sears cart (same title) and see if there are any giveaways inside the cart?

This is straight from http://www.intellivisionlives.com.
Mattel repackaged many of the early Intellivision cartridges in Tele-Games boxes for sale by Sears. The cartridges themselves were identical to the Mattel Electronics versions. The league names (NHL, NBA, etc.) were dropped from the packaging of the sports games and from Backgammon; "Las Vegas" appeared on the packaging of the Poker/Blackjack and Roulette cartridges, but not as part of their titles.
