IntyFanMatt Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Ok, now…this game is kinda fun. Annoying music, but overall it’s wayyyy better than Maze-A-Crap. I did rollover the score in level 3, so here’s the calculation: 655,360 + 117,240 = 772,600 (level 3) + 440,700 (level 4) = 1,213,300 points Edited March 13, 2022 by IntyFanMatt 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 My First Venture Entry: For me this game is just 'okay'.... I can't stand the beginning part with the green guys that look like little XBOX 1 controllers. They always kill me a few times.... Ugh ? Yup typical me I score higher on Level 4 than Level 3 and I've played Level 3 a few times and cannot beat my Level 4 score (cannot even come close) lol... So I will most likely just keep my Level 4 score and try to better my Level 3 score. VENTURE - SKILL LEVEL 3 - 333,400 VENTURE - SKILL LEVEL 4 - 438,400 = 771,800 TOTAL 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark griff Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I know believe me on the colecovision I have a hard time with the controllers on this one. the disk I think is actually better but it can cause problems when an enemy gets too close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar0u Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 My uncle had a Colecovision, and I had an Intellivision. He loved to play Night Stalker on my system, and I loved to play Venture on his system. I've never tried the Intellivision version of Venture, but I'm excited to give this one a solid effort this week! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pretty good port and they even got the different music for each room! The "hall monster" isn't as scary on the Intellivision though.
