ColecoGamer Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I just ordered Galaxian and ET from Intellivision Revolution. What I am excited about is ET! All the bugs that plagued the Atari 2600 version (i.e. the pits, for example) are gone. From what I have seen on YouTube, this new ET looks playable and fun! It gives us a window into what the 2600 game was supposed to be, but couldn’t due to issues. Has anyone else ordered ET for Intellivision? Do you like it? https://youtu.be/88pc_8CFEhE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I've been finding annoying is the randomness to the screens which makes hard levels extremely difficult as it just turns the game into a big game of chance instead of skill. I think the game would be more enjoyable to play if the screens stayed in order the same once generated at the beginning of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this post,and it made me ponder the nature of collecting. Keep your focus on the 125 first,like you said. It's easy to get distracted and start collecting other games,or for other systems. Yet it's wise to concentrate your collecting money on finishing one goal at a time when possible. The 125 is a fun adventure that also gets tough the last 15-20 games. You can do it with patience, diligence, and persistence!👍😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoGamer Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 I buy what interests me. I haven’t worked on a collection of any specific console yet. Maybe I’ll be bit by the collecting bug? I’m sure its fun to collect every game in a console’s library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If you are going CIB I cannot help you. But I have many of the harder games to get. LF 1 and 2. etc. But 30 years ago, I was saving space and dumped all my boxes for the Intellivision / CV / VCS / TI99 / C64. It worked, I saved a bunch of space! I do have some CIB and NIB homebrews let me know what you need. I already sold things like 4-tris and space patrol. But I do have 5 -10 others. I am at the stage where I am only interested in playing or creating games. Not collecting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
