@First Spear, is there any game from the original list that is in need of some playful lovin' today?  I'm willing to play any stragglers ... :)

There is some disconnect between what people submitted as their "top 10 favorites" for the Intellivisionaries Podcast and what people mentioned they would play. Among other games, I see these as not getting any publicized love today:

 

  • Lock n Chase
  • Tron Discs
  • Microsurgeon
  • Utopia
  • Sub Hunt
  • Sea Battle
  • Space Armada
  • Q-Bert

 

Thanks for asking, you have fired me up to play some Sub Hunt! :)

You don't have to twist my arm to play Tron Discs and Microsurgeon!!  But I'll also see if I can convince my granddaughter to play a round of Utopia with me -- I really like that game, but it demands to be played with someone. :)

I never registered. I tried but I got rejected... I will play some Microsurgeon - Intermediate Difficulty Patient in Critical condition tonight. Also maybe some Sharp Shot and possibly Dracula or Maze-A Tron, but definitely Microsurgeon..... ?

 

Might play some Space Armada too. SAVAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Ok, as promised, here are my final scores on Beauty and The Beast and Tropical Trouble. I don't have an actual Intellivision console and use emuation.

 

I almost got to the top of the 3rd building.  Those splitting rocks took my last 3 guys right in a row. I really ove this take on Donkey Kong. Can't wait to see if it finds a new home on the Amico

 

Tropical Trouble. Yeah, this game is as hard as I remember. I love playing this side scrolling version of Beauty and Beast, but it is a LOT harder. Part of the reason for the difficulty is that the controls are not as good.  In my first game I could not even get to the Bridge Battle and on my second game I died at the Bridge.

 

I played some other bonus games:

 

Thunder Castle - got to the 3rd part before the lizard men took me down

Meteors - It's the Astrosmash version of Asteriods. Rather interesting.

Ice Trek - I always enjoyed this game, but it's a bit dated now. I just could not assemble that Ice Bridge!  I remember loving this section as a kid.

 

I'm going to continue the Intellivision love by working on my Intelivision game.  I'm going to play with music and sound effects today. I already polished up all the boss fights in the game and made them a bit better and also more random the second/third time around.

I took some time to play my favorite games today, and my granddaughters showed up to join in the fun!

 

TRON Deadly Discs:

I didn't do too good here, it's been a while ...

Bomb Squad:

I have to admit that I had some help from my 6 year-old granddaughter, but we managed to save the city!

And by popular request, next is ... Christmas Carol:

We managed to save Christmas at least once! YAY! :)

Microsurgeon:

First I played by myself, but I have to say that it is a heck of a lot more fun with help a gunner on the second controller:

And the night is still young! ?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, INTELLIVISION!!!

Three stragglers down.  I've done my part.  I may play Q-Bert later on as well. :)

I signed up for AD&D and got a couple of hours in on it. It's amazing how much you forget about a game when you don't play it a lot.

On the hardest level I didn't stand a chance. I used to beat the hardest level quite often.  Pic has already been posted so I won't put another one on.  What a fun day.

P.S. Intellivision isn't the only birthday today. I have 26 years on Intellivision.
