fakecortex Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Isn't this the "game that shouldn't be named"? Or was that Carnival? Haha, hard keeping track of these Coleco titles. Anyway, this was a lot easier than whenever the last time I played it (maybe we did it on a harder setting?), b/c for the first time ever, I'm submitting a score before getting a game over. It's just too time consuming and it doesn't seem to get any harder. I just keep racking up bonus mice and I'm over it. That is not to say that I think I could beat the crazy high scores you guys have thrown up here, I usually never come close, but I'm tapped out. When I was in the 500k+ range I decided to hit the next hundred thousand and call it a day. Crazy. 600,800 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how long I was playing (maybe half an hour?) and I bet you and Crade were at it for a long while. I bet you guys were in the same spot at one point where it felt like I had Game Genie set to infinite dog bones. I just kept hitting it and moving around without a care in the world, hahaha. Looking at the manual, I'm remembering that we last played on a higher difficulty b/c that dang hawk came out. Definitely upped the difficulty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely upped the difficulty. on this difficulty it just gets a bit faster every lvl i think. eventually its too fast and the cats are just buzzing around like bees but it does take quite awhile to get there Edited February 13, 2022 by crade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Just tried for the first time this round this bloody game of Mousetrap... doesn't seem too terrible but for the music theme is extremely annoying... ending up singing puck me puck me over and over but the p isn't a p if u get my drift... Also the god damn movement controls, how in the f'in HELL could you think this is better than LNC, thats actually responsive unlike this piece of crapola... Might not help that I'm now reduced to playing on an old 360 controller had to ad hoc into the mac to control OpenEmu to play (using the thumb stick for movement) and yes 90% of the time the bloody mouse really does NOT want to know where he's supposed to LOL... No score to post yet just had to rant... Added the parenthesis info.. Edited February 16, 2022 by cparsley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the woodgrain panel must have given me good luck! ? There were a handful of Coleco titles that would just not boot to an INTV 2 no matter what... I remember in the 80s we got an INTV 2 but kept the original as well solely as my father liked playing Donkey Kong from Coleco, the most infamous of the absolutely no go on the INTV 2 (yes I swear he was sadistic like that), before you ask, his other favorites was PBA Bowling (the only sport title he touch) AD&D Cloudy Mountain (but more towards Tarmin), BurgerTime, LNC and Pinball.

Maybe try the dpad on the xbox controller? it's an idea but without the keyboard (see posting to Rickster's post) can't remap whatever the game decides to map the controller to. It made for one hell of a Tut game last week with left on the right trigger button, left on the Red action button, the BOMB on the left thumb button on top and movement on the thumb stick lol. It's even worse with where the red, white, blue and still haven't found out what's mapped for the dog button yet lol (I know it's INTV 5, but what this thing mapped that to havent yet determined lol) Sorry for the line of posts, answered each as I saw them... lol Edited February 17, 2022 by cparsley Recapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark griff Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Unfortunately I had to stop at 40 plus men remaining had to go to work so I had to stop at 2 million plus.

I glanced at it on my phone at dinner. Figured it was just a rant about how terrible the controls are playing Mouse Trap as that is the usual angst with this game. Also I had thought you had said originally the 'ONLY' way you could play Intellivision was with your Mac and Keyboard. Maybe that's changed now or maybe that wasn't completely true? ?♂️ Edited February 17, 2022 by Rickster8 Wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
