Here's one nice thing about the Intellivision! Since the system was on the market for much longer than the other non-2600 systems before the NES, games for it are more common than they are for the Odyssey 2, Colecovision, or Atari 5200. So, I went to a couple of places downtown, and came back with 20 Intellivision games! I may have paid more than some of these would have cost on ebay, since the manuals and overlays were at least $1.50 each in most cases, but I thought they'd be worth having. I'm sure others were below ebay prices too, so that's fine. It includes 15 games from Mattel, the system's first party, and five from Imagic. I already have more Intellivision games than Colecovision, and there are a few more to get as well.
Intellivision
--
Atlantis - Cart Only $1.50 - From Imagic. Regarded as the best version of Atlantis, this adds a controllable UFO you can fly around in, instead of only firing cannons.
Pinball - Cart Only $5.00 - This very basic pinball game is oddly a little pricey even cart only.
Armor Battle - Cart Only $1.50 - A multiplayer only Combat knockoff. The Intellivision has a lot of multiplayer-only games, unfortunately...
Triple Action - Cart, Manual, and Overlays $6.50 - This one has more Combat, but also some single player stuff.
Vectron - Cart Only $1.50
Space Hawk - Cart Only $1.50
Bowling - Cart Only $2.50 (and I also have one overlay for this game which was in the system box)
Night Stalker - Cart, Manual, and (One) Overlay, $7.00
Skiing - Cart Only $1.50
Star Strike - Cart, Manual, and Overlays $6.50 - Death Star Trench Run, the game. It's apparently not as good as that sounds.
Space Spartans - Cart and Manual $1.50 (IntelliVoice req., I don't have it yet but with how cheap they are I'll definitely get one.)
Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack $1.50 (cart to make complete boxed Tele-Games copy of game)
Dragonfire - Cart Only $3.00 - This one is a straight port of Imagic's 2600 game, so maybe I shouldn't have got it, but... oh well, I did.
Demon Attack - cart and overlays only $6.00 - from Imagic. This game adds more, versus the 2600 original - a boss stage is added, and the graphics are enhanced.
Microsurgeon - Cart Only $4.00 - Another Imagic game. The later TI 99/4A version is better, but I'll need to get a working one of those before that matters much... but yeah, this game is interesting and a bit complex, so I'll definitely need to look up instructions and the overlay online.
Sharp Shot - Cart Only, $1.50. This is apparently a timing reaction based kids game collection thing with four minigames of sorts.
Mission X - Cart Only $1.50. A vertically scrolling flight combat game with a height component...
Motocross - Cart, Manual, and Overlays $6.50
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Complete $10.00. I was hoping to find this one, and did! This action-adventure game is an early attempt at a home version of D&D, and it's an interesting game.
Beauty & The Beast - Cart, Manual, and Overlays $5.00. Imagic's take on Donkey Kong. It's an Intellivision exclusive.
