crade Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) 497550 I like this one, not sure if it's actually randomized, but it's not patterny for me edit: arg!

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 @Rickster8 Rick it seems like the bonus structure on He-Man and Space Armada both need a little calibration! Or one needs calibration. They’re not consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or one needs calibration. They’re not consistent. They aren't consistent (the same) because He-Man scores higher easier. The top bonus in He-Man is 500k, whereas Space Armada is 375k cuz it's harder to score. Lol, when you break the Inty HSC record of 1.4 million on He-Man, you will get +3 and +2 for Game Winner Incentive, plus 13 and plus 5 bonus points. So you will walk away with 23 total points. I think you'll be okay.... 🙄. I also have to factor in lesser players who can try to get the bonus points on the lower side. I have to think of all players and give everyone something to strive for based on their skill set...

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The pink bombs… they come out and pretend they have an arc for where they’re heading… then they turn 90 degrees and smash you!!!! In the later levels, like the 6th ship … as I’m bombing the silo, the red bees fly on to me so fast, I can’t even get out of the way! It’s definitely in the programming…. You cannot bomb that silo unless you take out the gold circle that sends out the bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionMaster Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Let me tell you about He-Man! Far and away the best game on the Intellivision. It’s the only game that you can pack up into a cabinet and place in an 80’s arcade. As-Is! Even the difficulty level is spot-on for the arcade. It starts off pretty easy and fun and as you move on, it gets tougher… just like an arcade game. Imagine this game surrounded by a Ms. Pac-Man, a Tapper, Q-Bert, Joust, etc… Every person in the arcade would be hovering over the guy playing Intellivision He-Man! That’s how good this game is. The programmers Rick Koenig and Ray Kaestner (Burgertime programmer) need to get an award for it!

I think they come from the "regular" turrets though which are on my normal pattern to destroy. The problem is that I tend to get close to the turrets before taking them out which opens the door for a snowball to come at me from an unexpected direction. Totally devious way to force an experienced player to need a new approach to the game - I loved it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionMaster Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) By leaps and bounds the best game on the Intellivision! It’s not even close. It feels like you’re playing on a console 15 years newer and more modern than the Intellivision. It’s hard to believe that such a perfect creation can be played on our Intellivision! You have to bypass Every Nintendo and Sega game… and go into PS and X-Box to get a game as good as Intellivision He-Man.

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) No I wasn’t kidding. Far and away the best game! you can’t put Dreadnaught ahead of it. It sounds like a joke. The Atari-level of graphics alone on Dreadnaught make it a mid-pack game. I thought we were done insulting each other’s games LOL 😂 ok! Love Dreadnaught! I moved it higher on my scale… but not at the very top! Edited September 14, 2022 by IntellivisionMaster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionMaster Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I feel you guys are not appreciating the production value of he-man. The opening title screen with the killer music, the cut-scenes… jumping into the wind raider to start the level…. You guys don’t appreciate all that value? All that stuff was ahead of it’s time. And oh ya… it’s a kick-ass game on top of all the pizazz! Edited September 14, 2022 by IntellivisionMaster 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I’m going to be dead honest about that…. I loved the game so much…. It inspired me to beat it. Not the other way around. I hit the wall just like everyone else! But I felt I had to honour all the effort in the programming by beating the game! Sounds cheesy but it’s the truth!

IntellivisionMaster Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I’m getting older and my memory is fading a little. But I remember I would feel like I’m having the game of my life… and then end with 10,000 more points than last game. It’s a very frustrating game to get better at! So from that perspective, I can understand why some would downgrade the game. Maybe on the easier game levels for the whole game it should stay at easier rocks instead of giving you one or two easier rounds to start the game… then get crazy tough! Novice… go up to the light green rock and stay there. Challenger… go up to the dark green rock and stay there. Master level, go up to the yellow rocks. Definitely would have increased the popularity of the game! Ok! You guys convinced me that the game needed that fix!

crade Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I liked He-Man game a lot when I was young as well, although it wasn't my favorite, but I always felt ripped off after you win the third skeletor sword battle and you just get the same result as if you lost anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused. If you lose you get taken away in Skeletor's tornado vortex, if you win you get 10,000 or 20,000 points.... 🤷♂️🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
