Opry99er Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Well, it is coming up on that time of year again... The anniversary of the day of my birth. I have been trying to make a decision... What to buy myself!! I always treat myself on my birthday to something nice... Something for which I have not budgeted and something 'just because I'm one year older, damnit!' I am trying to decide between a few things: 1) New drift fishing rod holders for my old boat 2) A fat ass Captain's Platter at the ol' Red Lobster 3) An Inty homebrew 4) Another small lot of games toward my 125 I know the opinions here will likely be #s 3 and 4, so I am kind of expecting that. I have also posted this exact question on the fishing forum of which I am a member to see what they think. Surprisingly, one guy on there suggested I should buy old video games. So, improve my boat, blow it on lobster and cod, or buy games. Thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpmaul69 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 1) New drift fishing rod holders for my old boat 2) A fat ass Captain's Platter at the ol' Red Lobster Thoughts?? as the old saying goes: give a man a fat ass Captains Platter at the ol' Red Lobster and he'll eat for a day. Give him the tools he needs for fishing and he'll eat for a lifetime. At least thats how i remember the quote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 List a few CIB Games you might like to have, maybe we can get a few sent to you....or buy me a Captain's Platter and I'll send you a home-brew and some games. LOL I take Red Lobster Gift cards. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 I appreciate the offer BBWW. Might take you up on the Red Lobster gift card swap thing in the future. And yea... Red Lobster is dope. But I really could use some rod holders for cats and stripers. (Single P in that word, guys...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Dunno BBWW.... A Captain's Platter is about $20... That doesnt buy alot of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercoupe91 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Number 1 for sure. More practical and fishing is every bit as important as video games if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'd have to vote for Option #1. Mostly because I wish I had a boat. Also, you have all the time in the world to add to the 125 but spring is right around the corner so fishing season will be heating up SOON!

+BBWW Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Must be the wrong menu I'm thinking of. LOL Lot's of games in my garage if not home brews... Dunno BBWW....

Ignorama Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 All the stuff you can buy anytime for the actual price except the homebrews. Of course some prices on the original 125 change over years, but some also get cheaper, like Worm Whomper which dropped a lot. Or Fathom. Most of the common games to not even change their price. So from a logical point of view get a homebrew you would like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 You should treat yourself to the TI games (Rotor Raiders & Ant Eater) you said you were going to purchase from me, but then never followed through on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Go for the Red Lobster meal. "Eat, drink, and be merry." You're already going to buy the video games during the year anyway, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Blue Marlin for the NES is my absolute favorite fishing game of all time... A version of that for the Intv would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a version with reduced graphics, weaker sound and a goofier controller be "amazing"? And expect to pay $50-$70, if it were ever to happen.

I can play all kinds of versions of donkey kong but i enjoy playing d1k and d2k on intellivision D1K and D2K are awesome and exceed every expectation out of the system and previous conversion! No way a fishing game could ever compare. Owen answered it… because it's there. Wait with "baited breath" because coming soon… it's Bass-o-Matic: Super Pro Fishing Derby! Nevermind you can already play the same exact game on the 2600, but we're gonna give you more than 50+ reasons why you should buy it again! Prepare to dive deep in this all exclusive, hand cramping bottom feeding extravaganza… it's Super Pro Fishing Derby all over again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 OK Erik time to design the Bass Masters for Intellivision Box! Honestly, I'm seriously wanting save2600's idea for Bass-o-Matic: Super Pro Fishing to become a thing now! The minute I read that an idea for the overlays came into my head, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Stop the presses! Am afraid Bass-o-Matic: Super Pro Fishing Derby will be superseded by Super Pro Spuds: Tramp Stamp Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Some Intelly homebrews would be my plan. A little for that and a little for the boat. Spring is coming and fishing season is not far down the road. I love the Captain's platter at Red Lobster though! Best biscuits of all time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I thought The Black Bass was a better game personally, it was a childhood favorite. I still play it once in a blue moon.. Fishing Derby on Inty would definitely be doable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Fishing Derby on Inty would definitely be doable though Uh-oh... is this the beginning of a hopeful want list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 So... I think I will go with rod holders... And then I will beg for someone to make Super Pro Sport Fishing. Please, use Hot-B games as the template. The actual fish fighting mechanics on Blue Marlin are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
