+nurmix Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Agreed.. fantastic looking box - a perfect fit for this nicely upgraded game. Sent from my Intellivision ECS using Intelli-Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Sorry if it was asked already, but that would be a good game to get a shell from? Does the board also fit in Activision-Shells? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I never considered using a 3rd party shell. If it would fit, I think an Activision shell would be fun. Sacrifice a common like Pitfall or Stampede. I'll probably just use a Mattel shell. We're gonna need some labels, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 But just imagine shiny full art labels If it fits, I guess I will take a shell of my 2nd Stampede copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna need some labels, though Keep in mind the boxes being made for these are designed to hold the classic Mattel shell but... Fits perfectly: Mattel Activision Atarisoft Does not fit: Coleco Parker Brothers Interphase Almost too large: Imagic - really close and as these are handmade, it may vary a little so I wouldn't risk it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Given the game's lineage, anything but a Mattel shell is sacrilege! It should be a generic black and white label! C'mon people! That box does look great. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I have 700 shells...just saying'. They are easy to find. You will need early Intellivision Carts with Screws. Some are phillips and some are a special "triangle" shape - T3P screwdriver needed. No White Labeled Games, no Carts with the two rectangular holes in the top rear. Printing a cool label for the cart can be done on an inkjet printer...use a good double sided tape to mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I can come up with a label to go with this... **final draft using intvdave's input to clean it up and brand it correctly. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari5200dude82 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) That looks so cool and well professional. I would want a box and a label as well Edited June 12, 2016 by atari5200dude82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 That looks so cool and well professional. I would want a box and a label as well That is a credit to Dave. He has released many CIB games in the past and knew what the look needed. I had one version that was laid out like Intelligentvision boxes before, like Ms. Pac Man or Yogi's Frustration for example, but he made the call have this mimic the old Super Pro style but brand it with Intelligentvision. He then suggested some spacing/sizing changes and color swaps to clean it up. That's why it looks as professional as it does. I may be decent with Photoshop but he has the experience of doing complete in box games going back a decade. Two sets of eyes are better than one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to you both for putting out very nice and professional boxes. We all apperciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacrec Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I hope the computer's AI is better in this one. I have seen many balls hit to or past the pitcher and the pitcher does nothing, the catcher has to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen many balls hit to or past the pitcher and the pitcher does nothing, the catcher has to get it. Hhmmm...maybe I need to revist how the game plays. I spent a little time making some updates but the game may still not be ready for release. I will spend more time on making it perfect. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacrec Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yea it's weird...most times the players get the ball right away, but once in a while they just sit there and let someone else get it. Does the degree of difficulty influence that? I can understand being slow to get the ball, which I have also seen, but to act like it's not even there???

wolfy62 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I would love if all the stars align and I get two boxes, labels and boards with the game on it......perfect scenario for me. Thanks guys for all the work and great Ideas! Wolfman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a little time making some updates but the game may still not be ready for release. I will spend more time on making it perfect. Maybe look into hits to right field too. It seems to me that the batter shouldn't get thrown out at first so often when the ball is hit to right field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacrec Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't see a problem with that, that's the result of a short outfield. The screen can't be made much larger, unless more scrolling is involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1980gamer Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 But the throwing speed from the right fielder to first base could be modified! As a slow running left handed hitting person myself.... I have to admit to getting thrown out at first base in a high school game But it was because the ball was hit so hard! At least that is how I remember it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulace50 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Hey Dave, So glad to hear you're finally gonna let this thing out into the wild! I'm looking forward to trying to hit that fast pitch! It'll have to be the ROM for me as my INTV hardware has been broken for years.
