+atari2600land Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 This store I used to frequent had NESs and SNESs running a game all day in attract mode. While not ALL DAY, but I want to do the same thing. Which games do you think have the best demo mode, in terms of music, graphics, and repeatability? The best one I have found so far is He-Man, but I never watched the show so I don't know what's going on. (I am too young, I was born right after the INTV game came out in 1983.)

+intvsteve Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think all the Imagic games have pretty good attract modes. Some of the Activision ones may, not sure, and a few of the other 1983 releases from Mattel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you have all the hardware (ECS + Intellivoice) World Series Major League Baseball does a great demo if you have the computer play itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 What's an ECS? I have an Intellivoice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SoulBuster Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) It is a computer module. With it and the intellivoice, you get play by play from the announcers. Edited October 14, 2014 by SoulBuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterZero Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just received Space Raid. It has a nice classic arcade attract mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Maybe Super Pro Baseball if you let the Intv play itself? A retouched frog-bog would make a cool attract-mode game. When I have seen it played "in the open" it tends to turn heads because the graphics are still basically good and the concept is simple, passerby don't have to guess what they are looking at, the background sounds are good, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishcar Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Centipede plays itself and actually makes a great screen saver due to the constant movement and color-shifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I played some $0.25 arcade Centipede tonight...I'm terrible They also had Mrs Pacman, Tron, Vanguard, Tempest, Joust, Moon Patrol, Galaga. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
