cparsley Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) It's previous turn on the HSC proved that Intellivision is better than Atari, starting that series, but now it's time to see who really has the power! Scores will be accepted from now until Sunday, March 3rd, 2013 at 12 noon central time. Starting level is up to you... Current score leaderboard: * Bold = Eliminated/Sent to Redemption Island * Oscar G - 816,500 cparsley - 771,700 Liduario - 582,200 skosh - 534,550 WispFollower - 386,450 JacobZu7zu7 - 316,850 jblenkle - 286,350 patbb - 284,150 darthkur - 227,700 Darrin9999 - 0 BONUS TEASER - Eliminatied players, take heart... all is not lost... You have a chance to return to the game... From this point forward, a "redemption island" if you will is in place. The first round of that will run in concurrence with this round... At a random point, the player still alive there will rejoin the knock out tournament! Edited March 4, 2013 by cparsley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Starting level is up to you... Well, I hit 1 and after this I read in the manual 1 is for practice, not sure if it's also alowed... But it seems to have all of the game phases. If it is, here is my first score. 1) 310,350 (02/17) 2) 582,200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar G. Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 He-Man... I love the music of this game! I find it very cool that the main theme is split along the different running stages as if it the music is telling the story of the game. When I was young, I would simply put the He-Man cart in between my playing session just to hear the music and then move on to another game. Good luck to everyone!

+DZ-Jay Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) What level are you guys playing? I suppose "Practice" is out, so I'm not even trying it. I'm playing on "Novice" level. Great game! -dZ. Edited February 25, 2013 by DZ-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hmm... Do I post my redemption attempts here or in the other thread? I'm posting in the other threads until I'm deemed worthy to return to the Island. -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 ANY LEVEL IS VALID TO PLAY (Practice just means you get the red fireballs for trip 1, light yellow on 2, light green on 3, dark green on 4 etc) Playing on "Practice" does NOT keep the game at that level for the entire game.

Oscar G. Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hey guys, Here is my latest score at He-Man. Later on in the game, the shield is useless against the invincible thunders that Skeletor launches. Ouch! Then I usually run out of time Oscar G. - 816,500 points Cheers!

WispFollower Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Skeletor is pretty light on his feet. I can see why he doesn't use a vehicle to get to He-man, but does he think running around under the ship will intimidate him into crashing? Maybe he just wants to watch him crash into all the fireballs from a close angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Man, it looks like had I not been kicked out for missing out on Centipede, I could have p0wned this round... kinda. (Oscar, you'da man!) I really like this game--it is very responsive to the controls and fast-paced. It shows you that the Intellivision was indeed a great machine for its time, when games take advantage of the hardware. I still say that rewriting any of the games from the old days to be more precise in their controller scanning and to run at 60 Hz instead of 20Hz, would invariably make them much, much better. dZ.
