Yeah, I expect most people to prefer the 5200 version since it's the Bill Hogue A8 version and the CV was ported by a different guy. Besides the stuff I mentioned earlier, I like the order of the screens on the CV version better and on the A8/5200, it bugs me that the screen colors change after you die and start the next guy. I know that's a silly thing but it's just distracting to me. Either way, I never finished the game on the CV or the 5200 which just points to my poorhouse skills. That's especially sad considering I've had the CV version since 1983! The KC games are the only games I consider to be actually good on the O2. I had the multicart for it and kept trying various things people said were good but I thought it blew overall. I sold it a while ago. At a slight loss too!

Better than a SNES?!?!?! You need to lay off of the crack pipe my friend. SNES was nothing more than a shoddy INTV clone anyway... do you know that an snes is? it is a nintendo, and it came out in like 1991, and it is way technicaly superior to the intellivision, and it does not play intellivision games. Just had to clear things up. He was goofing on an earlier post where somebody called the SNES a Genny clone, hence the smileys.

I always preferred the CV version although I know nobody else does. I like the graphics better and I think it plays "tighter". I don't dislike the A8 or 5200 version at all but I prefer the CV.

Well, superiority of the two is still hotly debated but either way, calling it a clone makes no sense at all. Both were 16 bit but that's it. It's akin to saying the Colecovision was a clone of the VCS because they were both 8 bit. That's just nonsense. I think the SNES is better overall than the Genny too although I like the Genny just fine.

Totally opposite. I think Pick Ax Pete is barely fun at all while Miner is one of the my greatest games of all time.

Get the SNES. The games are better and easier to find. I have an INTV and have to say that there's some good third party games(particularly Imagic) but the Mattel games are pretty disappointing except for a couple of shining stars. My SNES gets much more play time than the INTV.

Yes, I never put anybody on the list.

Sure you could. Use the Wii remote to move a virtual stylus around the screen and press a button to "touch" the screen. The Gameboy player was a neat add on for the Gamecube, but in this day of reselling old games at inflated prices, I think the days of Gameboy players, Master System adaptors, and probably even backwards compatability will go way of the dodo bird. The Wii remotes are no where near as precise as using the stylus used on the touchscreen. I think most games would be a disaster to try to control if they're stylus heavy.

I have never put anyone on my PM block list but I looked at it today and there were two names on it. The weirder part is that one of those people just sent me a PM last week so it must have happened recently. Has anybody else had random names pop up on the PM Block List?

VCS in 1980(1981? maybe) from my older bro for Xmas CV from my mom in 1982(1983?) my then girlfriend, who eventully became my wife got me SNES N64 GB GBA DS GC DC My friends have given me: O2 PS2 Xbox Everything else and the majority of games, I bought.

Yup, that's the one although I forgot about my paranoid editing of it.

I have a Time Pilot like that. Generic white label, slightly different case than other CV carts. There's a thread about these from about 2 years ago but I can't seem to find it in the search.

Loads OK for me, juts a few extra seconds, nothing crazy long.

Yeah, that's what I always thought it actually referred to.

Man, I hope I get chance to sit down at a CV this week. I've been working tons of overtime hours lately.

The chip is an option I considered too but I'm still curious about using CD-Rs, etc.

I've been reading up on softmodding my xbox withNdure and I'll admit, I'm overwhelmed. It just seems very complicated for a dummy like me so could somebody answer these in a simple way? 1. Is the only way to get the emulators onto the Xbox drive through FTP? 2. If everything is modded, new hard drive installed, etc. can any CD-R be copied to the drive? Seems like I then wouldn't need the FTP to load EMUs. 3. If somebody else has a drive that's all loaded up with stuff, can that just be swapped out for the original and it'll work? I think the answers are: 1. yes 2. no 3. no But it would be great to know for sure before I try any of this. Thanks.

Holy crap! WINNER!

For Bob's tile engine there are some limitations: you have to use alternating lines of colors: red, green and blue. You can't use any other colors, nor can you have two lines of the same color adjacent to each other. I worked on some tiles for Bob awhile back - but I don't recall what I came up with now. Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks

Well for CV stuff I use ICVGM303. I don't know if there's something similar for the VCS so that the colors/pixel ratio is correct. I took a shot at it anyway.

Scott Huggin's Terra Attack can move to the completed list when you do the next update. He and I are working on something new for the CV at the moment too but it's a little too early to talk about. I think it's going to kick large amounts of butt though!

I have 2 of those Savoy games cases and another one that's only a single long row rather than the 2 short rows like the Savoy.
