4-Tris (Homebrew) for Intellivision

For over a decade, the homebrew community for the Intellivision has pumped life into the venerable console from 1979. The very first homebrew was a Tetris clone called 4-Tris by Joe Zbiciak, published in 2001. It was released at the Philly Classic gaming convention.  This version included the Philly Classic logo on the box label.  Following the convention, the game was sold without the logo.  4-Tris saw a rerelease by Left Turn Only in 2007 that included a die-cut box and overlays.

In May 2013, an eBay listing for the no logo 2001 release (corrugated cardboard box and all) inspired three bidders to duke it out, with six bids placed. When the dust settled, the winner was $848.59 poorer but owned an historic piece of Intellivision history.
