    I seriously gotta pick up a 7800 someday. Absolute pinnacle of what Atari could do, a shame it came out so late that the NES completely steamrolled it.
    Didn't know a version of Robotron came out on it, though. Pretty ambitious, considering the dual-joystick setup that game requires. (Didn't know there was a N64 port of Robotron, either. I'll have to look that up.)

    I finally got around to playing some Robotron last night. Even though my controller holder is really ugly, it sure does work well! I have played Robotron on the N64 before with the D pad and C buttons, but using two sticks is much more fun!
    I also played some Centipede. Amazing fun, amazing system.

    I do not have one, always wanted one.
    But they're pretty expensive on line.

    Yeah, 95% of my collection was destroyed September 23rd of last year.
    Only my Switch and 3DS libraries were saved because I was able to easily grab them in time.
    I've only replaced about 65% so far.

    Eh, that's all entirely too technical for me, so if it ever gets repaired I'll hire a professional to do it.
    But as there is no professional in my area that'll be a long time coming.
    In the meantime I'm planning to just buy another, but this time I think I'll get an INTV 2 (even though I much prefer the original model) because shipping for the redesigned version is considerably less insane than for the monster-sized original.

    Well, now I feel stupid.
    It IS a lemon, and apparently I knowingly bought it as such. I don't remember doing that, but anyway.
    I just checked the old listing from almost a year ago, and plain as day in the description, the seller says they couldn't get it to work, either.
    I have NO IDEA why I'd knowingly purchase a faulty Intellivision. Maybe I just saw the original box and glossed right over the description, I don't know, but I'm definitely stuck with a glorified Mattel-branded paperweight.

    It's definitely sending a signal to the TV. When I press the reset button it goes different colors, similar to when I press reset on the 2600.
    I can see one, two, or even half the carts just being too dirty to work, but every single one of 23 just seems *incredibly* unlikely.
    But yeah, I've tried inserting carts at slight angles. Not fully inserted. Wiggled around while the console is on *and* off, and just nothing.
    The cart slot has to be broken somehow.
    I'm pretty annoyed because my old INTV just *worked*. At all times. I popped a game in, and it worked, immediately.
    But that INTV was destroyed in the fire last year and I seem to have replaced it with a very nice-looking, complete-in-box paperweight that cost me over $40.

    Possibly? 
    Seems unlikely, though. That thing is CLEAN, at least on the outside. I think it was barely ever used, as evidenced by still having the original box and everything.

    Not a trade, but a purchase from @RickR. 
    A couple replacement carts and one I've never owned before (Othello).
    These arrived four days ago, but I'm only just now getting around to share it.

    I did think maybe it the RF switch, so I bought a RF to coax adaptor cord off Ebay to see if that would work.

    So, I got a box of 11 INTV games in a lot off Ebay that arrived in the mail yesterday, bringing my collection total back up to 23 games. 
    Five of the games had no label, so I pulled out my boxed INTV to check the mystery carts out.
    I only have an NES RF switch available currently, so I used that to connect the INTV to my HDTV.
    Anyway, long story short, not a single one of 23 game carts would display a picture. All I got was a very nice, clear black screen on channel 4, and nothing but static on channel 3.
    Is an NES RF switch just not compatible, or is it possible my INTV is busted?

    The aftermath. Two views of my bedroom. You can see the charred remains of my 2600 collection... All destroyed, as I feared.
    My coin collection survived, though, somehow.

    Like it says. Total destruction. My entire collection is destroyed. Everything my family owned, in fact. We are homeless.

    If I do have Chopper Command already, then I'm interested in Centipede instead.

    Seconding.
    Definitely get a 3DS. The system is on its way out, prices are dropping, games are plentiful, and this is probably the best time ever to start collecting for it.
    It's my favorite Nintendo handheld.

    @Justin The person who sent me the box of Atari games and the 2600 Jr. was @Scott Stilphen.
    He sent it back in December.
