+atari2600land Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 So I went into the store today. Looking for various Game Boy items. I spy NFL Football and Space Armada for the INTV. Both were boxed. NFL Football had its overlays, instructions and play books. Space Armada had a manual. I thought I already had them both, but I BOUGHT THEM ANYWAY. As it turned out, I didn't have NFL Football. I thought for sure I had it. Maybe the same guy that stole my He-Man cartridge also took then NFL one. And now I'm working on the Secret Government Waffle Project as well. But this story does have a happy ending, though: I like being addicted to INTV, even though there aren't that many games I like for it. So I guess that's why I'm making games for it: So I can have something I like to play. And now I have a duplicate Space Armada cartridge. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself found the AA Intellivision forum in 2010, having discovered the home-brewing community first in 2008. I got stuck here and never looked back. Should we discuss your impending change of name? How does Inty2609land sound? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hehe, I started writing an Intellivision game just because scalpel put me a challenge and now I've an Intellivision and 56 games 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I bought mine a couple of years ago and have around 45-50 games for it. At first I didn't seem intetested in owning one. In 2011 I bought Intellivision Lives for the PS2 and enjoyed the games on there and it led me to wanting to buy one. I enjoy the Intellivision a lot! A fun system, great multi player games, excellent sports games, and incredible graphics even for it's time in the early 80's. I browse through a lot of the forums in here. I don't regret having an intellivision in my game room. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 is that including your own games? No, homebrew games are counted separately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I went from 0 to 124 games (plus most homebrews) in under 5 years. Glad you're designing games. Looking forward to your progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but we know that half of those 124 games are Worm Whompers, so they don't count! LOL! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I started tinkering with the Inty back in 2010 because somebody told me it was hard to program for . I didn't find it a particularly difficult system to get to grips with because the instruction set reminds me a great deal of ARM (which I've coded since the mid 90s). For me, its always been far more fun to make the machine do what I want it to do rather than play the back in the day games. Having said that, I do occasionally play Bump'n'Jump and Worm Whomper. Worm Whomper has been one of the 1st things I've run on new cart designs and Hive protos . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I found my old system last nov(at my moms place) which brought back my passion for the intellivision . Which brought me back to the day.. Went from a few loose games that remained from 1982 to a 108 boxed with a few homebrews too.. Im being going through waves which games I play most.. From home brews to classic.. right now its Tutankham and Dig Dug.Last week it was Princess Quest and Ms Pacman.. Enjoy and Welcome cheers!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but he cheated: he programmed the Intellivision like if it were a ColecoVision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
