wolfy62 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Any kind of fighting game, there is a HUUUUUGE gap. But please with a special controller layout. I made a pic of the controller (I am no artist ). If you hold it this way, you have a pretty normal gamepad, awesome for fighting games (and also some Jump and Runs could use this layout, because its complicated if the direction-disk is under the buttons). Just use the buttons 3 and 6 for actions, maybe use some other buttons for special moves or stuff like that. Important: Whats normally "up" in games must be "right" in this case, because you hold the controller in a different way. I think its really doable. Maybe a game like Street Fighter, or a brawler like Final Fight. I really miss a game like that And because I cant say it often enough: A new racing game! I love your collection! great job, I am jealous of your pretty boxed games. outstanding! and yes, a new racing game is in order for us.

Ignorama Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Of course doable, just look at Worm Whomper, its a kind of Tower Defense game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonlikesINTV Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 OMG, maybe that's why it's my favorite game Need more....or a sequel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Of course doable, just look at Worm Whomper, its a kind of Tower Defense game. Worm Whomper is not a tower defense game. It's a shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Its a Tower Defense Shooter. It hast many elements of Tower Defense games. In a tower defense game you place the guns that will fire automatically. Worm Whomper is nothing less than Space Invaders turned to the side.

+intvsteve Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Its a Tower Defense Shooter. It hast many elements of Tower Defense games. Funny, when tower defense games came up Worm Whomper also immediately came to mind. It's the large number of mobs moving in a fixed path that triggered the reaction. The mobile farmer does violate one of the main aspects of the genre, but the game could prove as a starting point maybe in terms of some programming techniques. An Intellivision programming expert could clarify, but I think they pulled some neat tricks with background tiles to accomplish the large number of moving worms, and a similar approach could make for a great tower defense game. Especially with the higher capacity cart being made today. Back then, it was an important business decision to allow for more ROM space due to cost. Now? Happily, not so much.

JasonlikesINTV Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 The traditional automated gun approach was what I originally was thinking of. Worm Whomper is definitely a shooter, but you are shooting wave after intensifying wave of baddies. Maybe THAT is why I love Worm Whomper It takes the best elements of the shooter and adds the increasing onslaught....although, as stated before, that's essentially Space Invaders/Space Armada. An automated gun tower defense game would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 How about some sort of tower defense game? Doable? Stampede (aka Tapper on Horseback) is kind of like a Tower Defense game. Perhaps there is some code in there as a baseline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_intv Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 I agree, Spider-Man would be great on the intellivision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_intv Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Could Princess Rescue be ported to the INTV? It looks great on the 2600 as a Super Mario knock off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorussell Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Since the Pac-Man port was pretty good on the Inty I'd imagine Ms. Pac-Man would be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
