I still care.. I still hope it could turn into something that could revive the intellivision brand, would have good upgraded intellivision games and new games of a similar vein, or even something that channels the feel from intellivision that can hook up to a TV without a life support system and doesn't have 30,40 years of wear and tear on it.. I still care, but no longer believe

Let me know if you have any questions

Lol well I really did my best to make that absolutely clear!

That was mine The super cobra and tut were only boxes... and your advice doesn't apply to Canadians. Shipping cost here means no parting stuff out unless you only sell it locally I guess but then you get a bad price anyway I'm quite happy with 200$, although it's kindof annoying it was going nicely at the beginning and then the high bidder retracted their bid and it flatlined lol. Actually I could have sold the high end boxes separately, but the rest I do not think would have sold in that case. I could be wrong, I hate selling stuff, but I can't bear to throw anything out.

Hey, sorry I missed your question. No, I am intentionally bundling them together to hopefully make it worth the shipping costs for the buyer.

Whats with the D1K, box pending? My D1K came with in a box.

When does it start? I wanna play, but I'm away on vacation for the next 3 weeks / A: There is no tentative date yet, but more than likely either a Dec-Jan start date (as to fill in the lul of last years HSC break)

I would love to see you get to 6 million How fast is nice and quick? Lol, well it feels nice and quick since I love this game I actually haven't timed it but thats somewhere between 1 and 2 hours I think. I won't make it to over 6 every game though. It only takes 1 screw up with the guards and your done. When you get over 1mill, I have found it's good to ween the guardsmen down so that you can wipe out all 3 quickly at once and get the bonus points. Thats how you get the fastest points.

I can break 6 mill nice and quick on DD too and could probably get higher with a little effort.. We need to do this one in the High Score contest! But not next one as I'm going to Indonesia

Until somebody codes it you don't know . You wouldn't get near having 50 moving objects on screen at the same time tho (so its not a patch on the 7800). However, you could do a passable version of Berzerk on Inty without too much trouble.

The controllers aren't the limiting factor. Its the video display system that only has 8 hardware sprites. You could do the equivalent of some software sprites by resequencing GRAM BACKTAB cards. However you don't have many of those to play with either. Is it really that much worse than something like centipede? I'm sure one could pull off a slightly modified version at least.

definately robotron. The INTV controllers are made for that kinda game.

No love for Truckin? I thought it was pretty good.

lol, here you go, my first youtube video. When I'm famous I'll sign it for you. It's got me talking like a muppet, a whole bunch of the screen being sideways and my cat, plus the system changer stuff thrown in for a bonus

Yeah, I can do a video, although I don't really have a place to put it. Mine only works with the INTV 2 though, it just gives me a black screen when I try to use it with the original intellivision I have. I don't have a system 3 to try like the one that you are trying to use in your picture.

Animan, people like you and I who grew up with later controllers may not be as accepting of INTV controls. The first controller for me was the NES, so older controllers in general aren't as intuitive for me. I look forward to playing my INTV II more this August, and seeing if I adjust to it. It really depends what kindof game you are playing. For most arcady type game I agree, the nes controller feels more intuitive, but for RPGs, sports or basically anything that needs to do more than move jump and fire the intellivision controller with the overlays is way more intuitive. If you play space spartans or if you compare playing treasures of tarmin to like wizardry on the nes, it becomes obvious how much easier it is to not have to scroll through the menu every time you want to attack, cast a spell, whatever.

Once you get used to remembering the positions of the buttons, I found the keypad much nicer on the 2. Those stupid bubbles inevitably get stuck for me regardless of how many different ones I try and I have to flick them with my fingernail to try to release them (after I'm dead of course)

Yes. Yes you are! Seriously, I could see where someone new to the game/system might not be so impressed, but those of us that grew up playing it back in the day, the AD&D games were a total blast. Still love 'em today. Give it another try and stick with it for a while! The "arcade" element of shooting Demons is pretty gratifying and the game can still surprise and scare you from time to time I did play it back in the day, thats when I decided I didn't like it.. I loved tarmin, but I just never "got" cloudy mountain.

I must be missing something with cloudy mountain, it must be time to give that game another try.

Maybe a dumb question, but did you try flipping the channel selector switch? I know the intellivision 2 has one you can flip between channel 3 and channel 4, mine seems to work better on channel 4

At the moment, I think my favorites are: Tron Deadly Discs Space Spartans Dreadnaught Factor

Aww Boo! I thought I still had until this sunday. I was just getting the hang of it.

I started to look at variants and found out that almost every cart I had was different from the others of the same title in some way so I decided not to bother with them.

Can't believe I didn't get my score posted for this one.. lol

What is it that doesn't work properly about space spartans? I haven't noticed any issues.
