I Bought An Untested Intellivision & Games From DK Oldies

[@AutismRocksOfficial]

Nightstalker, Snafu, and D&D were three of my favorite games! Very cool. I find it hard to believe it was "untested". I call words this channel wouldn't say on that. 😉

It’s a liability thing. I’ve seen it frequently on items where there was no way they didn’t plug it in.

Tommy’s mom would be proud

As an artist, I prefer Atari's old school box art for 2600 games, but Intellivision definitely had some good looking covers in the mix, too. Video game box art, like album cover art, is a lost art nowadays. Feels like it died sometime in the early '90s...

I would use this system as practice for future soldering jobs. It's better to mess up a cheap system then making a mistake on something more valuable.

[@RetroGamingNook]

Still a great deal. Bake that system to reflow the solder points like a video card. Had a master system that was flaking out on a few games like Rambo. I popped it in the oven for a bit and it fixed everything. Working perfect for 7 years. Make sure you remove all plastic first. Just the board gets cooked.

[@AmazinglyBadGamer]

this is an awesome find. thanks for showing us all those games as i have never seen any of them before. ive actually come across my own major game pick up that i am excited to get soon. great video, NSG

[@nardo218]

I still have Utopia. I loved it, but I was too little to know how to play. I just loved poking around the map and trying to make things happen. In 1983, that's how you figured out how to play - push buttons, make things happen, die, try again.

[@possumgrits825]

Great pick up. Failing capacitors can cause all kind of weird things. Still looking for a good deal on thunder castle.

[@themegaman91965]

Maybe I shouldn't have linked anything (original comment deleted), but the most likely culprit are the large capacitors responsible for providing power, and I'd clean the cartridge slot with contact cleaner, or deoxit with a toothbrush. Though Console 5's outta stock of capacitor kits for it right now, there should be some others out there. Best of luck!

[@JohnnyProctor9]

Wow, that's an even better deal than I got on mine ($50 for an Intellivision 1 with 12 common games in box, mostly complete)! To be fair, I got mine as a birthday gift though.

[@midimusicforever]

I picture Retro Rich in a classroom, with a whiteboard behind him that says "What does refurbished mean on DK Oldies?"

[@HELLHAMMERHANDHIX]

I'm calling "dry solder joint". It seems that it corrupts after a while of use. I'm not an electrician, but I've got experience with bad caps ,and in my experience they are faulty ,whether hot or cold. Good luck with your quest for a fix !!!

[@kenn5287]

Great pick up. Soon it will be time to play the best Intellivion game of all, Dracula!

[@gateroozeink5061]

You just have the wrong firmware installed and/or it's the TV's settings causing it ;)

[@dave4shmups]

Well, that’s too bad that it doesn’t work properly, but I glad that you still got a good deal on this. Did you run the RF output on the console through a VCR to that HDTV?

[@JuniorfanTheEnlightment]

Ahhh....DK Oldies! There's a name I had not heard in a little bit thanks to Rich from ReviewTechUSA as I can remember Joey and his blonde wig!

[@XanthinZarda]

So question, that's loosely Intellivision related: Within the recent news regarding Unity, wasn't it estimated that most of the Amico games were made in that engine? In as much as a fact that Dynablaster is using the engine? While of pure serendipity, wouldn't it be fun to calculate how much Intellivision would have to pay per their original moonshot chart?

[@rayforceaddict]

Could it be the power brick? Is there another one you can try it with? Still seems like a great deal

[@JohnAndAaronMusix]

20:31 "Oooo. Ooo. Oo.

[@amigaalive6266]

nice. i never saw a "live" Intellivision II before. :-)

[@LelandReview]

As far as looks go I think its even better then the Sears edition. Although the Sears unit has far better controller quality.

[@LelandReview]

Great vid !! I picked up this console from a Quebec game store in decent shape. Love the NES color scheme and detachable controllers. Shame the controller quality went so downhill compared to the first Intellivision. Utopia is system seller.

[@smokingunclefrank6037]

Maybe a bad Cap or I forget what it's called but I had problems with an atari 2600 and it was some type of heat thing I'd go on the forums and describe what's happening I'm sure it's a simple fix

[@MockduckPlaysGames]

The Intellivision 2 looks great but the controllers are even more painful to use than the original, the addition of hard edges definitely didn't help on their controller design. I have a working loose INTV2 as well, nice pickups! Have never seen a couple of those games.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

I struggled with many of these Intellivision games as a kid. Initially disliking them but after reading the instructions (several times) and slowly figuring out the rules, I eventually preferred the more complex titles.

[@johneygd]

I first wasn’t planned to buy the intelevision 2 but then eventually i just couldn’t resist,i just had to buy one and so i did and i also bought nintendo games and a sega game for it among others and i got no regrets about it😁

[@amberrobbymann9725]

Totally cool

[@CasperEgas]

The great games are worth that easily.

[@retronemesis7064]

Once you switch to the intellivision 2 you'll never go back

[@RetroDawn]

Why? The original's controllers are better, even though they are hardwired. And all game carts work on it.

[@tvvortex9622]

learn to solder man, trust me. get the nf mini from northridge fix, it's an excellent soldering iron for the price

[@chinabluewho]

This is why I try to never buy online as there are always deals to be had and I can easily see my self bankrupting my checking account with all the stuff there is to be had.

[@jeromesppd1383]

Wow, fantastic, I must admit I am Jealous!!!!

[@jasonwright9405]

Burger time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ralphie1066]

Such a poor packing job on their part. No padding on the sides, everything squished together, obviously rushed, they piled on bubble wrap on the top and called it a day.

[@gkredrock]

Does anyone want to buy mine with all the boxes games? Premium condition. Lol. I’m about to go ebay

[@kingnacho69]

Cringe packing job. Joey definitely packed that one

[@pixelythegamer3260]

My local indoor flea market is better than DK oldies

[@RodriThunder]

I will never buy from DKOldies it a rip off

[@m.k.b.3880]

face reveal? At long last?
