+the1hatman Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I have 1 Intellivision pencil that Wolfy sent me. It is literally used to mark and cut pieces of the boxes I make like Super Pro Baseball. Intelliception anyone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev, your pencils are broken! Better check your supplier next time, these don't write! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just looking at that licensing list something occurred to me, how cool would it be to see a Zorro Intellivision game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Zorro could make a good game. Personally, I'd prefer something based on Moulin Rouge, which is also on that list. The whole collection strikes me as stuff that should instead be in the public domain by now, like Sherlock Holmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Names can't be copyrighted anyway but they might be able to be trademarked, and trademarks can go indefinitely. Whether these can be trademarked or not, won't stop people from trying.

GroovyBee Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 As someone who grew up watching El Zorro, I'm intrigued! Tell me more about the gameplay... There was a Zorro game released BITD :- Jeez... its music drones on and on and repeats way too quickly . Hmmm... pretty much describes the game play mechanics too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) I've got Zorro on original C64 tape and played it a while back in the days, but didn't get very far. I thought it was more of an arcade adventure than a puzzle game. Though is it a given that because one party is licensed to manufacture various merchandise with different brands, they're also licensed to combine the different brands into new products? Indeed it says Moulin Rouge is open for gaming, while it says very little about the Zorro brand and the Tarzan brand licensing mostly seems to be about tanning lotion, protein bars and vitamins. Interesting comment about Sherlock Holmes. Just recently I learned that one of the reasons why Melbourne House published a rather advanced adventure game based on Sherlock Holmes was that after the success with Hobbit, they tried to secure the rights to LOTR but the gaming rights were already granted another party, so Melbourne needed another franchise, ideally one that already was in the public domain which is how they came upon Sherlock. That game interacts with itself even in locations where the player is not, but also has a number of interesting bugs due to the self-interacting world.

wolfy62 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I bet someone would want to release Intellivision pencils.... I think this is an awesome Idea! I only have five left, and I would certainly buy a few more sets they are so cool to have!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
