+nanochess Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hi all. It's my pleasure to announce that I've completed the development of Steamroller for Intellivision, with permission from original author David Rolfe and thanks to William Moeller for introducing me to this project. This game will be available from Elektronite and naberhood.com games in December 2018. Here is a video of the game in action it has been enhanced for Intellivoice if available. Enjoy it! https://youtu.be/QzmQJWbe12c 20 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

timdu Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Oscar - WOW! This will be a wonderful addition to the Intellivision library! Congratulations! I am amazed how you can program these fantastic games. Was this coded in IntyBASIC as well? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamse Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Looks really good. Does this have a high score page? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Best speech I've ever heard out of the Intellivoice! Will have to watch a video of the original game or read its instructions though. Can't tell exactly just what is going on. How you defeat enemies (seems you just roll over them without any damage) or how the level is eventually cleared. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Looks really good. Does this have a high score page? Yes, it saves scores to Flash memory courtesy of intvnut's LTO-Flash tech. The high-score table is shown in the video after the 1st time of title screen.

Will have to watch a video of the original game or read its instructions though. Can't tell exactly just what is going on. How you defeat enemies (seems you just roll over them without any damage) or how the level is eventually cleared. The first player gets in charge of the blue steamroller and you must pursue the blue ball (your leader ball) once all beach balls disappear or turn into bombs you can exit the level. Also you try to seal manholes before them open fully and also try to don't get lost because the two-levels road. Of course everything gets frantic pretty fast! I'm pretty proud that all levels translated to Intellivision and of the effect of sprites disappearing below bridges. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamse Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Thanks. I know obviously the lto flash carts have (by their very nature) got flash memory but I didn't know you could get standard carts with flash memory now Edited November 17, 2018 by Bamse Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_intv Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I often wondered why Intellivision Productions did not release a intellivision version, did they not design the CV version?

mr_me Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I often wondered why Intellivision Productions did not release a intellivision version, did they not design the CV version?The game was created for Activision back in 1984. By that time third party developers had switched to colecovision, even changing in progress intellivision projects to colecovision or c64.

Yes, the two-players game is cooperative as it finishes as soon as one of the players is out of lives.

+Tarzilla Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Match 5 was the first game that uses flash memory for saving high scores. I don't know if there is a definative list, but Super Pro Gosub and Secret Government Waffle Project also use the Save to Flash feature of the JLP board for high scores and/or progress saving. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/285142-steamroller/#findComment-4159921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
