r/Intellivision will be reopening Monday June 19th with rule changes.

4 Upvotes

Hello!

This subreddit will be re-opening Monday June 19th with new rule changes.

Reddit has made it clear that users, not volunteer moderators are the true owners of subreddits. So the community rules are changing to reflect that.

Going forward the only subreddit-specific rule is that any content you submit must be related to the Intellivision in some fashion.

That's it. Anything else goes as long as it does not violate site-wide rules.

Please be aware that the site-wide Reddit rules will still be enforced by the moderators of this subreddit and Reddit's Anti-Evil Operations (AEO). For more detail on them see Reddit's content policy here.

The short version is:

  • No harassment/bullying.

  • Respect the privacy of others.

  • No sexual content of minors.

  • No impersonating in a misleading/deceptive manner.

  • Label content correctly, where appropriate. (Is it NSFW or not?)

  • No illegal content.

  • Do not break/interfere with the website.

Reddit enforces these rules, and we will be reporting users who break any of those rules to Reddit's AEO, we encourage every user to report any content that breaks site wide rules to do so as well.

You will also be banned from the subreddit for breaking any of Reddit's site-wide rules.


Come visit us also on:


For those somehow unaware of the ongoing issues with the Reddit admins, and would like to know just what the hell is going on, the TL;DR:

  • Reddit users and moderators are furious over the closing of third party apps, API changes, and access to NSFW content for various reasons.

  • Users and moderators protested by making the subreddits they are a part of/moderate private or restricted. /u/spez says that the protest has been "ineffective", then days later claims Reddit moderators are "too powerful" and will change the site's rules to weaken them.

  • Now the admins are trying to subvert moderators to get subreddits back open.

Repair Question

Post image
26 Upvotes

I finally got a CRT for my dad’s old Intellivision 2. I got most of the games to play but had to keep hitting reset and find the sweet spot with the cartridge in the unit for it to display. Is that an issue with the game cartridge or with the unit? If it’s the unit, is that repairable? TIA

I was wondering if anyone knew of any?

I have the Intellivision that has a selection of games on memory for the unit. It's small and more portable, etc. But cant find it, went into my storage and it's in there.... somewhere.

My dumb ass can't get the solder under the tabs 😭. Does anyone know a reliable way to remove these annoying bits of solder?

Should I send this to someone who can confidently diagnose and repair my intellivision far better than I?

If so, who do you recommend?

Would using liquid flux make de-soldering more doable? The local electronic store had none a few weeks ago, hence why I wasn't able to use any today.

Programmed an interactive menorah on the Intellivision

I hauled and made my first Intellivision program. It’s certainly not fancy, but using the keypad puts candles one by one in and lights them. Yes, it’s dorky but it was a great programming exercise.

Hi there, are there still usb adapters for Intellivision flashback controllers

I use a Mac with jzintv

Far as I can tell, the Vision Adaptor is no longer sold . Similarly for retronics (or do the joystick adapters work)?

Are there any alternatives?

After already owning an Atari and Colecovision I added another childhood console to the collection. Paid 250 Euro for everything and except being a little dirty in excellent shape. Good price or did I pay too much?

Treasure of Tarmin handheld

40 Upvotes

My grandparents gave me an Intellivision for Christmas in 1980 when I was 8 years old. I loved it and my absolute favorite game ended up being Treasure of Tarmin. To this day, I'm amazed at the complexity they were able to achieve with the limited hardware. I just found this Reddit group, so I thought I would share my love for the Intellivision. Several years ago, I wanted to learn microcontroller programming and I had just started woodworking. So I combined these passions and built a handheld to play Tarmin. I only had the manual, some online level maps, and my experience with the game to go by, but I'm happy with the results!
