vintagegamer89 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I was extremely bored today and I was sitting in my room looking at some Intellivision overlays....So a question pops in my head... " What are Intellivision overlays made of??" Im not sure if man even knows this, but I thought some atari age addicts might! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I don't completely know, but I've heard you can make a pretty good copy by printing onto inkjet-transparencies (mirror the image, since you'll have to look at it from the "shiny" side), and then using 3 or 4 coats of white spray paint on the "back" of it. Mattel might have used a similar process, although with silk-screening instead of inkjet printers. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I remember the overlays on Imagic's Beauty And The Beast were made from a different material than regular Mattel overlays. It felt cheaply made, like it might tear at any moment. I never used it anyway. I always keep my overlays in a little sports card collector's clear plastic case.

Imagic used a matte finish, and thinner cards too I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
