Rickster8 Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) My First SNAFU Update: This is only half of my sub as I still have to play the other game (2ND GAME), but I just wanted to show an example of how we are submitting for this game.... 👍 The first part of my sub is from Game 2, which means I have to play Game 14 next. 2 + 14 = 16. SEE HOW THIS WORKS??? SINCE THIS IS A NEW GAME TO THE INTY HSC I GUESS I WILL SET MY OWN PERSONAL GOAL AT 125 POINTS!!! THAT MEANS I NEED 50 POINTS ON GAME 14 WHICH AIN'T GONNA BE EASY.... 😨 SNAFU - PLAYER ONE MODE - DISC LEVEL - 25 ROUNDS - GAME 2 = 75 POINTS!!! (GAME 14 SOON TO FOLLOW)!!! 😏 Edited August 11, 2022 by Rickster8 Added a little more text. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm glad you've updated the requirements. After playing some game 2 last night, I was thinking that we should have an obstacles game in there too. Off to try game 14 next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's the first time this game has been played in the Inty HSC so some refining or re-tooling of the rules was to be expected... I think we are good now though.... 👍 Edited August 11, 2022 by Rickster8 Wording 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hey guys, I’d like to take this opportunity to formally apologize. SNAFU is frickin’ frustrating, especially with diagonal movement. I always loved this game... rose colored glasses I suppose. 2 player is where it shines. And maybe not 25 rounds, lol. Anyway, my scores (enjoy my touch screen annotations): Game 2 - 61 Glitched out at the end. Then I got my color glitch on qbert. What up inty?? Game 14 - 27 grrrr 61+27=88mph baby! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Diagonals aren't as much fun, but definitely challenging for a high score competition. The computer might have an advantage with diagonal games. I like game two for fun, best with a human opponent. Edit: The problem with diagonal games is the intellivision disc is not an 8-way control, it's 16 directions. It works great in open field movement and it works great for 4-way games, but it's not good for 8-way games.

Rickster8 Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) My 2nd part of my First SNAFU Entry: Holy CRAP Game 14 is HARD!!!!!! CHECK IT OUT, I BEAT BLUE BY ONE POINT!!! 😮 GAME 2 = 75 POINTS!!! GAME 14 = 50 POINTS!!! 75 +50 = 125 MPH!!! 😛 PERSONAL GOAL OF 125 COMBINED POINTS ACHIEVED!!!! 😁 Edited August 12, 2022 by Rickster8 Formatting 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntyFanMatt Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Wow, diagonals are hard!! And I am absolutely terrible at this one. Pretty cool to have it played in the HSC though… 91 total - game 2 and 14 Edited August 20, 2022 by IntyFanMatt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Interesting strategy as to which pair of games you play. I think for me, diagonals are already hard, so might as well throw obstacles in there as well. First attempt: Game 2 = 48 points, Game 14 = 25 points (Total: 73 points) Used to be a wizard at this game as a kid. May have to compare my RetroPi score to actual hardware, including the old original Intellivision ][ controller. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
