Thank you very much for sharing these interesting resources. I will check them out. It provides a “new hope” vs the failed promise of the Intellivision Lives portability. Much appreciated. 

[Treasure of Tarmin / Minotaur Cheet Sheet]

Thanks for the cheat sheet and your hard work. Definitely useful. 
 

In terms of the broken official DS version of the game, it’s indeed a great shame as it’s a perfect game for the portable format and touch controls. 
 

I’ll also be interested in playing the fixed version on DS/DSi. Is there a place where one can find instructions/guide/resources for the hack? Thanks again and a big hello from Belgium. O

[Box protector for thicker Inty game?]

Likewise here. My nieces have used all the Carol stickers, drunk their Cocoa from their Carol mugs and a Carol magnet adorns their house’s fridge. They framed their competition certificates and they now hang from their bedroom walls. This seems to be the best place for their Carol swag. 

[Retro Gamer article on Utopia / Don Daglow]

Hello everyone, just a quick heads up about an interesting article published in the latest issue of Retro Gamer. It is an article about the making of Utopia. There is a candid interview with Don Laglow and some useful playing tips (see pics). Best wishes and enjoy!

Oh noooo... do you have a replacement?

Yes. Luckily I have. I should have a Sears somewhere. Plan B is the flashback. My two 2609 and now my INTV 2 present problems. I think that the capacitors inside are failing. They are getting too old...

Does anyone else always try to blast an alien before they appear in a new level? I always try to go to the far right and start firing shots before the aliens show up. Can usually get one off.

Yes definitely. An early blast to one of the purple ones at the top of the screen is sweet. I also try to hit them at the top right corner. Cheers.

Is the red one easier?  I have the blue one and I can't crack 12K.

 

(j/k!)

Probably, the red version is all "action" whereas the blue one is too "spacey"

[Intellivision HSC Season 13 - Game 1 - Space Armada]

Hello,

I am happy to know that the HSC is back! Thanks Jacob for organising it and a big hello to all here. This is my first score:

 

Oscar G. 33,140

 

Cheers!

 

 

[Maria - reservation list]

Interested. Thank you. PM to follow. Cheers. O

[Dual controller: The only way to play Night Stalker]

The dual control method makes a big difference to survive on the long run on games like Tron Deadly Discs. Using the dual control method is the only way I've been able to hit the 1 million points mark. Cheers.  

[Neil Peart, drummer of Rush has passed. ?]

RIP Neil Peart. One of the greatest, if not the greatest. Saw Rush Live in Toronto back in 2002. Incredible.

Nice! The best part is the CBS catalog which I only found for the first time a few months ago in a sealed French DK Jr that I opened. 

Wow! Great to know that you opened the DK Jr!  Happy to help. Cheers, from Belgium

[Gamescom 2019]

Great pics. Thanks. I hope that you are rested and had a successful event. Cheers. O

[H.E.R.O. for Intellivision]

Wow! Impressive. Well done and keep up the good work. Great game. 

[Gamescom 2019]

Cool set up my friend! Good luck with the event. Cheers. 

[Did any games push the limits of the Intellivision]

Carol vs Ghost. The animations, the music/sound effects, graphics but above all the sweet controls. I thing that this game pushed the limits in many departments. Cheers. 

[The meeting of Oscars]

It was fun to meet my namesake: Oscar is not only a great programmer but he is also an extremely kind human being. It was a pleasure to meet the Toledo's! Cheers to all from Mexico!

[The meeting of Oscars]

I'm Oscar, the player. But now with Oscar's book I might learn how to program. If the book is signed probably I'll program even better. So Oscar, we will probably have to meet up again before I fly back to Belgium

[Rare Intellivision Commercial Unearthed]

Amazing!!! I'm a big fan of the game. I think Happy Trails is one of the best games of the console. Definitely a hidden gem in the library. Great commercial (live the horse falling at the end). Thanks for sharing.

[Super Pro Astrosmash]

Thank you very much Dave! Your updates are very much appreciated. Cheers.

Thank you very much Dave! Your updates are very much appreciated. Cheers.

[FW Diagnostics - Official Ordering Thread]
