Li'l Bro Hangman, a recreation of an unreleased game for the Unisonic Champion (and Inty)

[decle]

Hey all,

 

This is the first in what I hope will become an occasional series.  I have a bit of a soft spot for the Intellivision's little brother, the Unisonic Champion 2711.  In 2018 I created Li'l Bro II which lets you to play all four Unisonic cartridges on the Intellivision, and I also ported Activision Dragster to the Champion.

 

However, there are also several games that General Instrument detailed in its datasheets that never made it to market (quelle surprise!), and I thought it might be fun to take a crack at implementing some of these.  I've started with Hangman for two reasons.  Firstly there's a good description of the game, including a screenshot, in the GI datasheet:

 

Secondly, the game is pretty simple, but it gives me the opportunity to put together some infrastructure that could be useful in creating other titles. So, here we are, Hangman for the Unisonic Champion and Intellivision:

 

 

ROMs to play on both the Intellivision and MAME as well as instructions, box art and an overlay design can be found in the following zip file:

If you have a preference for which game I tackle next, I'm open to requests (but please, not Football, I don't know how they thought they would create a workable game).  As always, any problems or feedback, just shout.

 

 

Enjoy!

Very Cool!  I'm looking forward to more of these.  No preference which one you tackle next.
