  1. The Lions won!!!! Hey if I recall you are a big Happy Trails guy. Please feel free to check out our Workshop for Happy Trails going on right now.... We could use some of your gaming pointers..... 👍
  2. Earlier in the year I got this working on my laptop. I was able to play Tag Along Todd.... 👍 I wanted to make it work on my PC because Tag Along Todd played on my Ultimate Flashback (jzintv) will not give a final score of cans collected unless you beat the timer. Meaning once the timer runs out. So if Todd catches you beforehand you won't see your score. I wanted to see if the same thing happened using Gui on my PC. Thankfully Gui showed the score so the experiment worked.... This is especially annoying on level 5v9 where you simply cannot finish the match without getting caught. I was able to score 111 cans on this level using Gui..... My record on this level is 118 cans using my LTO Flash and 2609.

  4. My PB on this game is 392,795 points, 80 LINES cleared. I'd like to get 400k during this workshop. 👍 Another very fun puzzle type game. This one is alot like original Tetris. The side buttons will change the direction of the falling pieces. You can also choose to have the next piece visible in the preview square pane. This is a big help.
  5. My current PB in this game is sad. 21,529 points. My goal during this Workshop is to beat that score. I feel this game is ALOT like the game Loco-Motion where you have to memorize puzzle patterns to advance the players along. I've gotten alot better at Loco-Motion, but I have not been able to get a good grasp of Happy Trails yet. It's weird, both games are similar, but different.... 🤷‍♂️
  6. I find Dracula to be way easier than Fathom. Fathom on the Intellivision is WOEFULLY bad.....
  7. Fathom is IMPOSSIBLE regardless of reading the manual or not... The game might be good if they didn't make it so difficult to just fly through the birds. You lose soooooo much energy just trying to do that... That completely ruined the game for me.....
  8. This months games in the NEW Intellivision HSC Workshop are Happy Trails and 4-TRIS. A BONUS game will be added as well. Please feel free to stop by and add whatever knowledge you can to the Workshop. This ISN'T a competition. It's a strategy building group designed to get everyone involved to be better at the games listed. It's a collaborative effort. 👍 Hope to see you there.... Cheers 🍺
  9. Intellivision HSC Workshop - Game 1B - 4-TRIS 4-TRIS by Joseph Zbiciak 2000 Tetrominoes are pieces created from 4 blocks joined together into 7 different patterns. By rotating them, you can position the pieces as they are falling, so they fill open spaces. When an entire horizontal line fills with the pieces, the line clears, and you are on your way to higher levels!

  10. Cool. If you could share some of your tips in this workshop that would be awesome. I saw your score on Highscore.com of 548,075 points, skill 5, that's remarkable.... 👍

  12. Yes it does do that. You have to pick up the same amount of people in screen 1 and then screen 6, screen 2 and then screen 7, screen 5 and then screen 10, etc. What I'm wondering is does this go on forever or does it stop at 99? Maybe it keeps going and then the screen number goes to characters like in Night Stalker if you have 10 guys in reserve it goes to using letters and other characters... Nobody is ever getting to Level 99 if there is one, but was just curious. Wondering if the game is like Maze-A Tron, where the score can go forever to like 999 million, but nobody would EVER be able to get there because the screen goes so fast that your player would constantly get sucked out of the screen thereby never advancing. Unfortunately, Intellivision likes to do these types of things...
  13. Looks great Oscar. Does Lt. Thunder have any grenades or bombs to use like in Commando? 🤷‍♂️
  14. So I've been playing this game pretty hard for the last month. I've gotten to Level 10 a few times. It's got me wondering how many levels there are? I looked in the manual and maybe I missed it, but I don't recall seeing the number of Levels listed for this game. There are only two character spots for the Level being played so is it safe to say there are 99 Levels to this game? Anybody know? @mr_me? The box below says 'there's no end to the challenge'? Hmmmm 🤔🤷‍♂️
