First Spear Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Since it's been a while since I posted one of these, I am sure you are missing them. Openly wondering how a version of "Pirates!" might behave on an Intellivision. Thinking abstractly, it would resemble Defender of the Crown a bit in terms of time and resource management and "scenes", but I think might port fairly well especially if it used a bank of 42k ROM or two. What are your thoughts on how it might work? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Sounds like a pretty big swing for such an old console, but at the same time, the Intellivision was known for making pretty big swings. B-17 Bomber, Utopia, Hover Force, Microsurgeon... yeah, Sid Meier's Pirates! would be right at home on that system, alongside those complex games. (You might want to pump the brakes on a Civilization 6 port, though.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Pirates then No Man's Sky. Sea Battle 2 could be a Pirates game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I played the crap of out Pirates! on Commodore 64 long ago. Loved it! Would be an interesting challenge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not making the game, I have 3 stalled game devs already in my life queue, but wanted to "think out loud" about how the game might play or work when modified to play on an Inty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
