Game Setting

PLAYER'S CHOICE. PICK ANY 2 GAMES FROM THE LIST OF GAMES 1, 4, 7 OR 10. THE COMBINATION OF GAMES CHOSEN MUST EQUAL 11. SO IF YOU FIRST CHOOSE TO PLAY GAME 1 THEN IT MUST BE PAIRED WITH GAME 10. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY GAME 4 FIRST THEN IT MUST BE PAIRED WITH GAME 7 AND VICE VERSA. YOU CAN PLAY ALL 4, BUT THE PAIRING MUST BE CORRECT WHEN YOU POST A COMBINED SCORE. PRESS BUTTON 1 FOR GAME 1, BUTTON 4 FOR GAME 4, BUTTON 7 FOR GAME 7 OR PRESS THE CLEAR BUTTON FOR GAME 10. PLEASE POST BOTH SCREEN PICS FOR EACH SUBMITTED COMBINED SCORE.  

 

 

Game Objective

You are tasked with protecting Moon Station Tranquility. Standing in your way are 3 dreaded waves of demon fighters. Wave 1 you will fight Winged Warriors. Wave 2 you will fight Tentacled Terrorists. Wave 3 you will fight Bound Bombers. As you progress through each round you will encounter different types of bombs. First they will fire Pellet Pulverizers at you, (these are concentrated bombs). Then they will shoot Jagged Juggernauts at you, (they explode and scatter shrapnel). Finally, if you get far enough they will pelt you with Heat-Detecting Detonators (these track your laser cannon). If you get by all three waves each round then you will face off against the Terrible Demon Attack Boss, The Mother Ship of Death better known as Pandemonium. This horrifying ship will bludgeon you with hundreds of Suicide Bombers. You must shoot them or avoid them. Their sole mission is to crash into your laser cannon. Continue shooting at the base of this King Demon Craft. Eventually it will wear down and open up the middle vulnerable spot. Fire a well timed shot up there and BOOM, Pandemonium explodes. Survive as long as you can scoring as many points in the process.

Sigh - there's nothing objectively wrong with this game, but I almost never have fun playing it.  I prefer the faster speed with bullets that move the best, but overall, I'm not really a fan. As far as I can tell, there is no way to distinguish between levels from the game over screen.

Here's a tip to avoid the rash of deaths that can happen. Just like in Space Armada after you lose a cannon, press right or left on the disc and your cannon will respawn there instead of getting crushed in the middle repeatedly..... 👍

My First Demon Attack Entry:

 

Welcome to GLITCH CITY!!! 🥺

 

This game is just as bad as Frogger (Green Screen Of Death), it can glitch out at ANY GIVEN TIME. I was playing Level 1 last night and cruising along at 18k+ with 6 guys left and POOF!!! GAME OVER!!! 🤮👎

 

BTW - I video my Demon Attack games because I know the glitch can happen at anytime which is how I was able to get this screen-shot.... 😏

 

DEMON ATTACK - GAME 1 - 18,174 - PATCHED!!!

DEMON ATTACK - GAME 10 - 9,835

COMBINED SCORE = 28,009 POINTS

Some Demon Attack improvement. I had 3 guys left (playing game 1) and then the Bound Bombers pulled a cheat sequence where instead of being all bound together at 5 they were separated at 3 and 2 and since they respawned super low they killed me again and again and again..... Meaning they didn't kill me with bombs instead they crashed into my laser cannon.... 🙄

I was really struggling with this game, until I swapped out my Intellivision Flashback controller for a real Intellivision 2 controller.

 

The disc sensitivity is so much better and the action is so much smoother.  After playing the game with both controllers, it is pretty crazy the difference in quality (and score!).

Yeah the flashback controller sticks alot with this game, especially on the Boss stage fighting against Pandemonium...... 🥺

Got to spend some quality time with Demon Attack this week.  Not sure I'll have time to improve, so here are my entries.  So far I've been able to submit entries for every game this season--that's my real goal... to play every game!

 

I played some 80s hits on Pandora and I think the music helped!

 

Combined Score: 14,791

 

Game 10: 5,694

I gotta play more and do better than this!

Super busy working on the last episode of a TV show and then I get my life back for a little while.👍

Which makes me curious about starting a thread asking Intellivision and video game lovers what they do for a living. 🤔

Level 1:   6,315

Level 10: 1,500

Total: 7,815

Something has always just kinda felt broken about this game.  Like, I can't move when I want and shoot when I want.  I like the extra boss stage to make it more like arcade Phoenix, but I wish that level felt more finished.  Kinda feels like version zero.
