plus Mania but it was not in the catalog.
For the already published ones, just missing good scans of PANIC game if someone can help or have the game.

 

 

I also noted that cassette games have a code number

considering PANIC that is not in the picture that has a code G21 (If someone has it please contact me :) )

seems like that could exist a G12 by intrigue software ?

someone has it and/or know about other published titles by intrigue software ?

maybe was published also codes from G01 to G09 ? or after G21 ?

I hope that someone knows something, i also tried to find any contact of Intrigue Software owners but without success for the moment someone knows if they are contactable somewhere please ?

 

Thanks in advance :)

thanks Andrew, interesting that Intrigue Software done also Amstrad Games, A1 as code for the cassette game is good also... so for the amstrad they starte from 1 :P

 

I missing the Panic game yes but I am also pretty sure that at least G12 could exist anyway, maybe it was AdventureMania 2.

I find 2 versions of Lionel And The Ladders:

and

Dunno, just from the title screen it looks like some novice hacker got a hold of it and could not figure out which character was redefined into the copyright symbol, let alone how to remove it. Also, in what looks like an attempt to translate it into English from Italian, never centered the text for the title, or even bothered translating the text at the bottom.

"contact of Intrigue Software owners but without success for the moment someone knows if they are contactable somewhere please ?"

 

Martin Webb was barely a teenager when he wrote the Inrigue programmes and with his brother hand coloured the pictures for the cassette covers. He went on to make it big with US Gold and a conversion of Outrun for the C64, then not being paid so much for an NTSC version for SEGA.

 

In 2014 he was reported to be in Brazil marketing a commerce program called Tillify but "tillify.com" seems to be now unattended.

I think the reason for the missing numbers is due o the fact that some games were listed in old magazines but never were released, there was intrigue pentathlon in basic which I remember ordering but received the cheque back with a letter stating that it was no longer for sale. I later read that the game was not released due to problems. Also I remember seeing a quote in some magazine there was due to be a follow up game for Lionel and the ladders called Lionel in the castle which was never released.

Panic is game g21, which I gave to Ciro , sorry for the bad scans, I will try to get them done for you correctly when I find time. I don't believe that panic came in a wallet box but just a normal tape box with a green on yellow printed insert. Shame really since the cover would have looked great in full colour. Panic is probably the rarest of all intrigue games so may be difficult to find.

Nice collection Ciro, I to now have all the intrigue games on ti99, after looking for snout of spout I managed to get a copy from an old computer shop and a taped copy (I emailed the seller) off eBay where I had lost an auction for where the game went for over £100!

I was the boy that made the intrigue games my name is Martin Webb. I also did the Outrun conversion for the C64 if you google this you can read a lot on line about my story.

Nice to have you here.  I always liked your conversion of Outrun for the C64 and thought it too frequently got short shrift.

I'm sure we've had Martin here before, under a different profile name.  New account?  ( i do forget my passwords myself occasionally! )

 

or am i thinking of another chap .... it was the fella who also made "Alpine Quest" text adventure, anyhow :)

Outrun was a great conversion.  I read somewhere , it started out as it's own game, and US gold got in touch and we ended up with an official outrun for the 64
