Steamroller

Hi all.

 

It's my pleasure to announce that I've completed the development of Steamroller for Intellivision, with permission from original author David Rolfe and thanks to William Moeller for introducing me to this project. :)

 

This game will be available from Elektronite and naberhood.com games in December 2018.

 

Here is a video of the game in action :) it has been enhanced for Intellivoice if available.

 

Enjoy it!

Best speech I've ever heard out of the Intellivoice! Will have to watch a video of the original game or read its instructions though. Can't tell exactly just what is going on. How you defeat enemies (seems you just roll over them without any damage) or how the level is eventually cleared. :dunce:

The first player gets in charge of the blue steamroller and you must pursue the blue ball (your leader ball) once all beach balls disappear or turn into bombs you can exit the level.

 

Also you try to seal manholes before them open fully and also try to don't get lost because the two-levels road. ;)

 

Of course everything gets frantic pretty fast!

 

I'm pretty proud that all levels translated to Intellivision and of the effect of sprites disappearing below bridges. :grin:

I often wondered why Intellivision Productions did not release a intellivision version, did they not design the CV version?

The game was created for Activision back in 1984. By that time third party developers had switched to colecovision, even changing in progress intellivision projects to colecovision or c64. Edited by mr_me

Match 5 was the first game that uses flash memory for saving high scores.

I don't know if there is a definative list, but Super Pro Gosub and Secret Government Waffle Project also use the Save to Flash feature of the JLP board for high scores and/or progress saving.
