Intellivision games (beatable/not)

[cparsley]

After several posts (and a want to classify classic games in a more "modern" context,) we now present the INTV beatable/non beatable game list.

 

Each game (listed in alphabetical order) will have one of the following notes, and then anything specific to the particular title.

 

Notes are as follows:

 

A) Clearly Beatable (easily defined win state by game's own program)

B) Technically Beatable (notations will appear after this ranking)

C) Multi-player (technically non-beatable... Note, majority of games getting this ranking will be sport titles)

D) Non beatable

Intellivision games # and As

 

4-Tris (homebrew) - Beatable state : D (4-Tris is a INTV port of Tetris)

ABPA Backgammon (Mattel 1979) - Beatable state : A (Beating the computer in a game of Backgammon)

AD&D Cloudy Mountain (Mattel 1982) - Beatable state : A (4 speeds, game ends when creating the final crown on the final mountain, requiring 3 shots in each winged monster to get the piece to put together.)

AD&D Treasure of Tarmin (Mattel 1983) - Beatable state : A (Slaying the Minotaur, claiming the treasure makes you escape the caverns and win the game.)

Armor Battle (Mattel 1979) - Beatable state : C

Astrosmash (Mattel 1981) - Beatable state : D (Reason this isn't ranked as a beatable game is due to the game continually adjusting the difficulty based on how your doing, so there isn't a plateau. This will be the same reasoning later on Shark! Shark!)

Atlantis (Imagic 1982) - Beatable state : A (Note: This is only due to bug in programming that ends the game prematurely. If not for that bug, it would be a D ranking.)

Auto Racing (Mattel 1979) - Beatable State : B (Note: Game is techincally beatable every time as finishing 5 laps ends the game, but no distinct win/lose senario (like within X time puts this in the B category)
