Intellivisionaries Episode 10 is Live!


Recommended Posts

Yes, we've hit the double digits. :)

Join us as we go “deep” into the dungeons of Treasure Of Tarmin / Minotaur. We interview designer / programmer Tom Loughry. We also interview Scott Nudds who is currently programming Boulder Dash for the Intellivision (coming soon from Elektronite / First Star Software), and William Moeller joins in for part of the interview too. Rick gives us another programming segment, and we include our usual feedback, news and fun (“George” is back too). See you on level 256!

A giant THANK YOU to the guys that produce the Intellivisionaries podcast!

 

Each podcast is very well done and your enthusiasm for the Intellivision screams aloud. The programmer interviews are especially priceless.

 

Great work!

Thanks, Feyer. We intend to keep going, since all three of us enjoy it just as much, if not more than the listeners.

By the way, I wanted to apologize for the less than stellar audio quality in Tom Loughry's interview. He lives in a remote area of California, where the Internet is down more than up, and the phone lines date back to the early 1900s. I did the interview with Skype-to-phone, and unfortunately the buzzing and noise was unavoidable. And for the record, when I called him from my phone, it wasn't any better, so it wasn't a Skype thing.

 

That being said, I still think hearing from him is worth putting up with the bad audio quality. I hope you guys agree.

Some updates on Treasure of Tarmin.

 

Spiritual monsters die faster with spiritual weapons and war with war. But not by much. The thing to keep in mind is to not switch the type of weapon while in combat [start with spiritual and change to war]. Retreat first and then attack again with the other weapon.

 

Use the teleport to move to another dungeon on the same level to build up stats faster [more dungeons on easier levels to go through] before venturing downward. This is where the view of the map is handy.

 

You cannot retreat right after a retreat [2 retreats in a row]. So, be careful not to retreat and end up in front of a monster, you will have to fight him with only 1 recourse. You can toss items at a monster while in battle to make him forget you are fighting and then you can walk away.

@Soulbuster Yup, the moving one dungeon over using the gate was something I bought up. I did it a couple times during my multiple playthroughs.

 

I love that I don't know what else is in the show outside of the discussions between the 3 of us. I was cracking up at our CGE announcement from "George".
