+intvsteve Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 What if Sharp Shot..... ... were not Rick Reynold's favorite game? Just think of all the other things he could play during his annual Extra Life campaign! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 It would be up there with Hotel Bunny. Actually, Hotel Bunny would make a good TV Powww game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think the game is underestimated. Its not great, but by far not the worsed Intellivision-Game. If this would be a homebrew, it would also by far not be the worsed home brew and of course it would be celebrated. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1980gamer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I must admit I was a little bummed out when I first played this game. But as someone who ran home after school to watch TV-PIX on 11-Alive and then Deputy Dawg or Dastardly and Muttley before going out to play. I ended up put several hours into this game. I just wish the Space Battle version used the PIX layout and Graphics. Or had an option for both. 3 minutes 39 second in... This video shows some different graphics. Playing TIP... Well, at least how I play... I hold the fire button the entire time, I press the disc to pass/shoot. I have scored 105 on football using this method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 While I dont have a crush on Sharp Shot the way Rick does, I must admit that I play this from time to time and quite enjoy the quick hit games. I believe this and Frog Bog were the first two Intellivision games I started my son on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarifan88 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I like Sharp Shot for it's simplistic game play and variations. You could easily hold a high score contest or leagues based on this game right here in the AA Forum. Actually, I'm surprised nobody has done it. With this game falling into the shooter genre, because of the straight forward game play, I think you could call this one a "straight shooter!"

We have played the football game in the HSC teaser round a few years ago. Not sue if it was posted in the regular intellivision section or HSC ..

Ignorama Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 We also played a multiple scoring game (a classical cparsley when he was behind ) some years ago for all the games. So not just football. I will put the game in the next voting... again (actually it was there in the first or second voting this season). All games, but no multiple scoring.

I believe this and Frog Bog were the first two Intellivision games I started my son on. Wonderful! Someone who actually used the cartridge for its intended purpose! Remember that Mattel was not designing individual cartridges, but rather a cartridge line intended to cover a range of diverse interests. Sharp Shot was created for families with young children fascinated by the shiny box but without the eye-hand coordination to play any of the other games. It was expected that the kids would sit on a parent's lap and play the game for a few minutes (what's the attention span of a five-year old?) and go away bored rather than crying, leaving Dad or sibling to play his games in peace. Win all around. Definitely worth the thirty bucks.

All the games included on Sharp Shot had two player modes because you were supposed to play them with your little brother. It didn't occur to APh that anyone over 7 would want to play the cartridge by himself.

But contestants should be required to play it as intended, with a five-year old on their lap attempting to operate the controller. To be really fair you should have different divisions, 48 month olds, 49 month olds, 50 month olds, etc. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
