Video Test Cartridge for Intellivision (IMI)

  • 4 years ago
The Video Test Cartridge running on actual hardware, a first for YouTube.

Here, it runs on 3 systems: Intellivision, Intellivision II, and "Tutor Pro". It runs well on the original Intellivision but watch what happens when it executes on Intellivision II and Tutor Pro which were made years after the Video Test Cartridge was created.

The Video Test Cartridge has the same code as the IMI Test Cartridge version 1.0 that is available downloadable as a ROM.

Physically, it is constructed similar to the first release games from Mattel. It has a metal grounding shield inside the case and the case is missing the "Insert to line" text in the plastic.

Side note: a Tutor Pro is an unusual late-model member of the Intellivision family. It is a Super Pro System exterior with a rare Tutorvision-like board inside of it which makes it mostly compatible with the original Intellivision. The Tutor Pro is also sometimes referred to as a "Super Pro Tutorvision" or "INTV88".
