Games For Your Intellivision Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 The original Atari version had a skip levels cheat. It was entering the Big Five phone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) I read it on the internet: https://youtu.be/bufTna0WArc I was posting on the Intellivision version, not the Atari and this is an Intellivision forum and game we were discussing. I never owed it for the Atari because I chose the better system with WAY better graphics but mostly for the awesome sports title.

carlsson Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Claiming the Intellivision generally has better graphics than Atari 8-bit computers is a bit bold, but I won't start an argument about it. Instead of skipping levels, I think level codes that you type in with the keypad is to prefer. Of course you could have a super code like the phone number that lets you select level freely too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It's not going to happen if we don't get a programmer. Calling all programmer's, Miner 2049er s a calling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The Intellivision version should be called Miner 2609er 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Please, someone who can program pick this up, it is a great game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can already play on a dozen other systems, so shouldn't be a priority. (apologize for the poor phrasing), but does it have to be a priority? Not saying I won't purchase when it becomes available… just saying. Before yet another re-hash of a re-hash of a re-hash on dozens of other systems, would rather see: Zookeeper KAOS Food Fight Black Widow Bagman …some rarely seen/played great old arcade games. Oh and did I mention Bagman yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Ok, then program Bagman for the Intellivision! Fan yourself? Love me some Bagman! Point is, would rather see someone license something like this than to pursue and try to hire a programmer for a game where we've already been and gone there. On systems that have done and are currently doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Zookeeper KAOS Food Fight Black Widow Bagman From your list, I think that the Inty could do a good version of KAOS, but jeez it looks rough from the youtube video I've seen. Bagman is also a possibility, but its levels would look too compressed vertically in my opinion. As for the rest of the list, I don't think the Inty could do them justice.

I seem to recall a "Food Fight"-inspired title released sometime ago by an industrious little bug. -dZ. P.S. Also, I think it was retrollucid that created mock-ups of Bagman screens for Intellivision. Edited May 17, 2016 by DZ-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I seem to recall a "Food Fight"-inspired title released sometime ago by an industrious little bug. It was more "Fast Food" inspired than Food Fight. Food Fight has quite a few moving sprites. P.S. Also, I think it was retrollucid that created mock-ups of Bagman screens for Intellivision. Yep! He did, its here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slab0meat Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 ColecoVision has a nice Bagman, though I hear it's got collision issues. (I bought it, but haven't played it yet.) Not everyone seemed to feel the same way, of course, but several mentioned this. When I got it and first played, I had a hell of time with going up or down ladders. That gaming session didn't last long and I haven't played it since. It was extremely annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I used to like Miner 2049er and Archon BITD on the C64. Hopefully a programmer can be lined up for this as I thought it was a fun game. Can anyone chime in on if Archon can be done properly on the inty in the future and if there is any interest in that one? I always liked Archon a lot.

Reading through that thread at the time, my impression was that those who played the game for enjoyment complained about the collision and controls; and the rest tried to ameliorate their complaints by saying things like "that's as good as it gets with a 8K, what do you expect," or "it looks great anyway, don't listen to the complainers"; or something like that. In other words, there were those who reported bugs, and there were those who defended the bugs. I don't recall many people (if any) actually claiming it was bug free. Kinda sounds like the Intellivision community, now that I think about it. -dZ. Edited May 17, 2016 by DZ-Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archon would translate fairly well to the Intellivision, in my opinion. You'd have to make a few compromises on the graphics, but it could be done decently. I hacked together a bunch of the sprites a couple of years ago and you can make them surprisingly good. After all, monochrome sprites are what the Intellivision excels at! For the battle screens, it would look almost pixel-perfect to the C64. Add in 16-way controls and I think it would be arguably BETTER. The characters are 16 pixels high, and you have 9 rows of them - but they use the "half-height" pixels that the Intellivision can use with sprites. The only problem is, in order to display the entire playfield you'd have to be displaying the characters as background cards, and you can't use the half-height trick with those. So the chessboard screen would look lower resolution, unfortunately. And you couldn't do the black character outline either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
