The Sears Super Video Arcade

[puxley]

I'd never actually seen one of these before, and I was surprised at how different it looked from the regular model. They had one at Bookmans bundled with some good games, including Bump 'N Jump which I needed as my last Mattel-manufactured game, so I picked it up.

I haven't actually hooked it up yet, maybe tonight if Culdcept doesn't rule my world again.....
The detachable controllers are cool, the fire buttons are nice and clicky.

Were there ever any third-party Intellivision controllers of note that I should seek?
Will a Colecovision or Atari stick work at all?
(Yes, I realize that the Inty control-disc has more positions, but for some games the limited movement wouldn't matter much and might make them easier, eh?)

Any other significant differences that I should know about?
Any game incompatabilities?

I can't find any detailed info on the Sears Super Video Arcade anywhere on the net.

I like the giant reset/power buttons, and the woodgrain.....although I am not crazy about the creamy color.
If the controllers work out okay for me, I may just keep this as my Intellivison model of choice. What do you think?

Hmm...well, I could swear I was reading about this the other day, but here's all I got, it's just a promo brocure http://www.intellivisionlives.com/bl...ia/sears.shtml


AFAIK, there is no difference other than the title screen doesn't say "Mattel Electronics Presents...". No third party controllers as the Sears and Intv II are the only versions with removable controllers.
