if there were 2 or more different versions of the Intellivision II??
Galen Komatsu wondered this, and here are his thoughts on the matter: “Just noticed differences between the two Intellivision II units I have. We’ll call one Ernie and the other Bert. – On the front nameplate, Ernie has a more bolder looking black surface, Bert is a bit dulled looking – Bert has the symbol after ‘Intellivision’ and ‘Mattel Electronics’. – Ernie has a red stripe around the perimeter of the unit, Bert, none. – Ernie’s casing has square corners; Bert’s corners are more rounded. – The button squares on Ernie have a matte finish while Bert’s squares have a more “glossy” finish though the areas surrounding the buttons are matte. – Looking at the underside labels, the bright orange “IMPORTANT!” has “2609-0090-G1” in the upper corner, Bert has “2609-0090” … both labels mention eligibility for FREE CARTRIDGE if the unit requires servicing.
