CLASSIC GAMES REVISITED - Intellivision Computer Adapter (overview)

[SCBianchi]

Hope you figure it out! Didn't the Colecovision hook up to an Adam?

[vintagevideogamegeek]

We got it working!......sort of.

[BrianGamingBadly]

Nice vid and good info, but the background music was way too loud. It was almost the same volume as your voice.

[BoldNewTradition]

Like to see this work.

[landerrules]

The back-ground music needs not to be played the entire video..It's annoying

[hobodude68]

Kick it.

[starblazers1969]

Only fisrt party Intellivision games will do this. Have fun programming!

[Bakemon13]

"Intellivision Computer Adaptor (WTF?)" That cracked me up XD

[squirm13]

Coleco had problems with the adam computer, they lost a lot on that. They were doing well, though, before the video game crash.

[syphic]

Awesome peice! Id keep it!

Try plugging in a game into the computer. Seems simple enough, but I had the same "problem." I think it completes the circuit somehow. I know, I know, there is no mention of this in the manual.

[dommiesan]

@SnapCraft316 That makes sense. INTV carts (like most other old system carts) have part of the BIOS on the actual cart board. You'd think they'd put the rest of the BIOS in the computer module, but I guess they didn't.

Weird Classic Game Room and Classic Games Revisited in my subscription box at the same time. You know which one I like better? CGR!!! Oh wait they're both CGR

[Rakiarmas]

$10 000 a DAY!? Cheesh. That's must been hurt pretty badly.

[HomeMadeVinyl]

@Rakiarmas yeah at the time, that was more than the daily sales of the Intellevison

[IntellivisionDude]

I'm sad to see your ECS isn't working. I have one myself and 4 out of the 5 games released for it. Still need to get World Series Baseball.

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but are you using the correct power supply? Mine didn't come with one so i found out an Nes Power Supply will work with it.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

A few Coleco-published cartridges will not work on the Intellivision II, such as Donkey Kong.

[starblazers1969]

I have this computer and the sound adjustment on mine is slightly faulty, but it still works OK. I have only made a single sprite on mine and a couple sounds. The computer has a good baseball game available called World Series Major League Baseball (3D like game). It is good and ultra rare. It is also compatible with Space patrol homebrew. Space Patrol uses all 6 audio channels when connected to an ECS. There are a few other good game savailable for it.

You need an Intellivision game in the system.  The Intellivision release is needed. Not a third party game. You are able to use sprites from the cart to make games (If you know about Basic). You can use a Mattel Aquarius cassette recorder to save your games. There are a few other cassette recorders that will work also, but I cannot recall them right now. The basic in this system is not that good! It is not as the Commodore 64 or an Atari 800.

[starblazers1969]

@starblazers1969

I just wanted to rephrase my answer. An Intellivision first party game in the slot will make it work.

[Robloxian182]

Get a new one!!! XD (Ok, Ok, It may be the video chip or card inside it. if that doesnt work, it may be the motherboard.)

[kreeboy411]

WOW.

Looks good with the Intellivision II. Interesting little piece of history behind it....

Hope you can get it going dommie...would be awesome. Wish I could offer you something for it...but my videogame money for the month has already been spent. :(

[dommiesan]

@kreeboy411 CoD Black Ops?

[kreeboy411]

@dommiesan

Nah...not really into FPS.

Just ordered some Amiga 500 parts.

I just picked up a boxed one for free with the monitor...lol

Just ordered the 512k ram expansion and a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive. That was my money for the month...lol
