roberto Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Went to main Toys'r us shop over here the other day. As I feared, they didn't know a thing about these, they won't stock them and I can't preorder through them either. Useless. Online is the only way.

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Can it be modded with a cartt slot like Atari Flashback 2 or no? Nobody can say (well if anyone perhaps BILL) until hardware is in hand but all evidence pointing to everything made AFTER the flashback and how they implement emulation would suggest NO. But again you are talking a unit with new compatible controllers, tons of built in games and overlays for like what? $39.99 or so? Don't expect so much.

1980gamer Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 If the bonus game is MLB, it sold over a million copies, this is a big deal. Also, I find All star baseball is very easy to beat. It is way to easy to steal bases etc. I certainly would want the original sports games and super pro for one player versions. I am not a Slam Dunk fan, I liked the keypad for shooting much better than the action buttons. SP football, I like the receiver patterns being programmable, but again, the offense is to easy. In NFL, you could take angles between the QB and receiver and take away the pass while limiting the run etc. SP, loop a pass over the defender for big yardage. Yes, these are the same for each players offense, but the classic versions are what I grew up playing, My brother and I fighting over scoring a run on the 3rd out etc. That is what nostalgia IS. Of course, without the ability to play remotely against each other, we NEED the 1 player versions!!! I guess more than a cart slot, I would like the ability to play games against other remote players. That would make the HSC a lot more fun! I was pretty good at all of the sports games...less NHL. As a person that played Hockey, I hated NHL, it was so slow, changing directions was horrible. I think the Cali programmers thought the players slid on the ice when changing direction. It is painful. Back to the subject... Looking forward to this product! I have 2 on pre-order and plan to buy at least one DG version. If the controllers are good, I don't know how many I would eventually buy?

Yeah, never say never, but since none of these Flashback products have been modded for either a cartridge or SD card slot to date, it's unlikely that any of these new ones will either given their similar design. They're custom chips with a custom emulation layer. I'm anything but a technical expert, but I suspect that not only is there nothing on the board to tap into for the electrical connections for the slot, but there's also nothing in the emulation layer to address games not on its built-in list. I imagine it would then be a two step process of doing quite a bit of hardware hacking and then somehow breaking into the emulation layer and modding that. None of that sounds particularly practical, and again, based on it never having been done on the Flashback 3 or 4, makes it seem just as unlikely on these. The only two such products where this ever worked was the Atari Flashback 2/2+ and Commodore DTV, each of which were purposely designed by their creators for modding and each of which had very different designs from what we've otherwise gotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Of course, without the ability to play remotely against each other, we NEED the 1 player versions!!! Having only played the sports games casually back in the day (I only had one friend with an Intellivision and didn't start to build my own collection until the early 90s), I always assumed that the updated sports games were more or less the same, albeit with a few additional features and a critical addition of a one player mode. Is that not the case, i.e., is there a reason to play the original two player versions versus playing the two player mode instead on the updates?

Games For Your Intellivision Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Baseball for example, was 'improved' in the 1 player version, but the original is the one that we keep going back to when playing with friends, because it is the one we remember and everyone knows how to play it. 'Big League Baseball' has some improvements, but plays slightly different and of course crashes from time to time. So, I think that there is probably an audience for the original Soccer, (American) Football, Baseball, Tennis etc over the enhanced INTV versions.

Absolutely! Tennis is night and day.. The original is so much better! This is a case where Super Pro Tennis home brew would fit nicely. Along with some other nice home brews....

JoeM_Intellivision Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I would say yes. For one, not each of the original 11 sports titles had a Super Pro Version (i.e. Boxing, Auto Racing, etc.). Secondly, I concur that stealing bases was way too easy on WC Baseball and actually consider the original better for that reason alone if you have someone to play with of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Speaking only for myself, you could leave all of the one or two player sports games off of this thing and I would be fine, as long as there were third-party and licensed arcade ports on here instead. Do I envy those of you who would have a friend with whom to play these games? Maybe a little tiny bit, but as Intellivision was pretty much a solo thing for me 30 years ago, it would be today as well. I bought mine around the time of the crash for $40 at a Hi-Lo market (think CVS or Walgreens). It's kind of funny to me that the Flashback unit is exactly the same price, only many years later. With games included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Yes, I know, I've been following the whole thread since the start. My point is simply that for ME, I don't care much either way about the sports titles, and if there were a bonus sports game on the dollar store version of the hardware, it wouldn't be enough to make me care one way or the other. If it were Donkey Kong or something, I'd feel differently. Again, just my opinion, and everyone has their own opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Intellivision, "system sellers" for me would be Dreadnaught Factor, Beauty and the Beast, Microsurgeon, Demon Attack, and maybe some Parker Brothers games.

I'd say the red games are out, due to them being third party properties. Also, Major League Baseball is not going to be included in the regular unit, just as a bonus game on the DG units. (I'm 99 percent sure about that). How many games are going to be on this total, 60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980gamer Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Okay, I am @62 games... To get to 60... MLB seems to be one of the obvious choices ( as it seems to certainly be the bonus game for DG ) How about Triple Challenge as the other? All 3 games are already on the list. Could that be the 60? I would love to see the RED titles added, at least the 3 TRON games and the Data East stuff. Opps some how missed Burger Time. I can see the atari / namco stuff not making it on, however, the flashback 5 seems to have m-network games, maybe a deal could have been made? The Intellivision flashback could have the atari flashback included ( system changer ) and include the m-network games! I like Dark Caverns and a few others got some play back in the day. I wouldn't miss Burgertime, Bump n Jump or Koolaid Man on the atari side at all. I do like the Adventures of Tron better on atari though... Come on Disney... let us have our TRON games! Maybe we need a write in campaign, or would that be a facebook page these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 OK, sort of good news. I was told that since testing and debugging is still going on, meaning that there may still need to be a change or two (however unlikely), they'd rather not release the list as of yet, but I can talk about a few of the bigger titles on there. I can also say that while it's just first party stuff (sans any licensing or games that can't be stripped of licenses), you do have the voice games on there and two of the officially unreleased titles (at least back in the day). Frankly, as it concerns the legendary original Intellivision (and INTV) library, that should be all the clues that you need to at least get a good idea of what is and what is not on there until they're ready to release the list (and it sounds like that shouldn't be an issue once they're done with the final testing). And since it was already basically discussed, yes, the bonus game is the original two player baseball game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 And since it was already basically discussed, yes, the bonus game is the original two player baseball game. I consider this to be a required inclusion. I recommended it to a person who REALLY wants to play original baseball. Now he has to search out a specific model? I think that this one game is a MAJOR reason for people wanting to buy the flashback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he has to search out a specific model? I think that this one game is a MAJOR reason for people wanting to buy the flashback. Again, there's already the other baseball game on there, complete with one player option. For the hardcore Intellivision fan who will have access to a second player and wants to be a purist/completist, by all means I can see them seeking out the version with the extra bonus game. That type of person is a relatively small minority, though. Looking at it practically, the average consumer buying this (i.e., the person who already doesn't own one or more Intellivisions, regularly uses emulation, etc.) won't know the difference and won't be missing out on anything. At least one baseball game that for all practical reasons is more or less the same except for having a one player option is on both versions. On the ColecoVision side it's not quite so cut and dry, because there's nothing else like the first party bonus game in the core 60. In either case, I'm sure the AtariAge audience will always prefer the version with the extra stuff, regardless. I know I would just on principle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games For Your Intellivision Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Not trying to beat a dead horse, but the 'Big League Baseball' (1 player) is not simply adding a second player capability to the original, it is different. It plays different. It has scrolling and reacts different. The people like my friend who want to play the original are not 'purists'.....he ONLY wants to play Baseball, and the one he remembers. I don't know how 'typical' he is, but he isn't the type to collect Intellivisions, and there aren't a lot of other games he fondly remembers. And, all the military people who also played Intellivision baseball with him don't have any Intellivisions. None of them have Intellivisions but were excited that they could play baseball again when I sent the link. Now it is going to be 'never mind'.
