INTV Best Game of All Times - Round 1 - 3/25 (CBS & more) (Arcades)

[vprette]

This is the pool to vote the best games ever for Intellivision :-)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In this pool we introduce 3rd party games!

In the same time we see the first conversions of famous arcade game, so we added a second votation :-)

 

CBS got several important arcade licenses, but it is commonly considered that they made poor conversions... what you think?

as expected, Atlantis is one of the people favorite (I did not like it so much, even if I admit it's a well done game)

[Fushek]

Atlantis should run away with this one ... and I didn't even want to vote for the conversion (never cared for ANY of those games)

[+Lathe26]

I agree on the conversion games. I voted for the one that sucked the least, kind of like picking who's house is the nicest in a bombed out war zone. Carnival was a terrible game in the arcade, Mouse Trap's music makes me want to shot the TV, and Donkey Kong is... well... bleh.

there will be a new pool for arcades shortly... see if we find better games :-)

I think mouse trap is enjoyable anyway

 

 

atlantis seems to be at round 2 already!!

could this game be one of favourite as best game overall? I doubt...

This is going to be lots of fun, thanks for doing this Valter. I've voted but I'll weigh in with my thoughts later today as I've got to get to work.

[+DZ-Jay]

I actually liked Carnival--although the shrill music got under my skin after a while.

[Intymike]

I already know what arcade game will be no. 1 in the end...B********e.

what do you suggest as next pool? I will post one again for sports for sure, and I was thinking about how to show the several card/gamble games (poker etc.) that have not so much appeal even if very well made, maybe they go all togheter

Yah I think the card games with Horse Racing or the board games would make sense. Just keep putting together logical groupings and we'll work our way through this. I think this will be interesting to see which games progress through each round

I actually like Stampede but prefer Atlantis for sure. As for the Coleco titles I chose Mousetrap because I had to choose one.

noone likes the coleco games :-) I wolder if zaxxon will get any vote at all in his pool

[JoeM_Intellivision]

ditto cmart! I like Stampede but I loved Atlantis and think it is a very well done game - gotta love IMAGIC! In the subset I went with Mousetrap as best of the 3. Will admit I somehow managed to play DK & Carnival as a kid - one of the benefits of being like 9 instead of 12-15;-)

While I don't necessarily like playing the Coleco games, I love collecting for them with all the awesome CBS artwork and language variations.

sadly, CBS got some very good title but made bad porting on the inty....

[Oscar G.]

Same with me. Enjoyed (and still enjoy) Stampede a lot but my vote had to go to Atlantis… another Imagic Masterpiece!

 

Definitely Imagic should be the best 3rd party developer for the Intellivision.

 

I also enjoyed Carnival and Donkey Kong at the time. I voted for Carnival but I eventually had to spend one bullet to turn off the music.

 

By the way, the music of Carnival is a waltz known as "Sobre las Olas" (Over the Waves) composed by a Mexican XIX century musician called Juventino Rosas.

Hmmm, I need to go check all the threads but is Atlantis the winner with the biggest margin so far?

[JoeM_Intellivision]

I would think at 82% yes but would need to check. But it didn't have very stiff competition (enter jokes here).

[vprette]

This pool will be closing soon, cast your vote!

 

what will be in second position??

[JoeM_Intellivision]

With 46 of 56 votes, this is a group that should only have 1 going through to 2nd round - allowing for 3 games from a much stronger group elsewhere to go through. 2nd place shouldn't count for this one:-)

[vprette]

I'm going to close this pool

 

we need a second .. if no more votes come for either mouse or stampede, maybe both will be eliminated, so please cast last votes NOW! :-)

[JoeM_Intellivision]

Eliminate both - Give spot to a top vote getter:-)

[vprette]

we close this pool, dominated by the imagic game

 

winner is:

atlantis

 

goes to round 2 + arcade conversion sub-category:

mouse trap
