  1. reason why idiots dont do that is ebay charges them less for listing an item with a lower starting bid #.
  2. Considering there is no other scores, thats #1 so far I hadn't powered up Popeye yet myself, plan to later this week.
  3. easiest way to accept/reject overheating, is do what I did to test, place the INTV right next to the running air conditioner Subbing that, in a frig with the cords hanging out works too
  4. usually after 16 the blue background resumes (15 is black background), but I never reached 16 in "Game" format, so not sure if goes back to phase 1 setup or stays at the 13+ set.
  5. Hey, i'm using the emulator Bliss. I can't figure out how to use the printscreen PrtSc button. I press it and nothing happens. I got to the 3rd level. I'm not being accused of cheating i'm i? No, no your not... I just like that score and would loved to have seen a picture You can always "print screen" on a PC and then copy/paste into Microsoft paint to post here
  6. pic pic pic??? (kind of like meep meep meep) hehe
  7. nope ur wrong.... it goes from 2 inviso, to 2 inviso w/guided, to all 4 inviso w/guided
  8. How dare we dis Space Hawk, hmmm Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it (dissed enough)? With the current arguments about it, Space Armada would be cool to do, as well as got no problem with Q*Bert (other than just as bad controls as DK Jr. has), Popeye, a far cry compared to other ports, and haven't touched Super Cobra in a while, so don't know.
  9. That's the one that starts with the INTV and goes into a great riff with a slightly synth voice going "Thin Ice" right? If so, yes that a great track remade
  10. I didnt create this one, I think some took offense to you calling it the worst and created this to show otherwise... Mr VCS, if your listening, this COULD be a great HSC game
  11. The Fat man, the maker of INTV music like Thin Ice, got interviewed today over at "ThatGuyWithTheGlasses", and here is the link to watch the interview. After INTV, he went on to compose for 7th Guest and others. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/paw/specials/22641-paw-interviews-george-the-fat-man-sanger
  12. here here... actually u only get 16 colors on the side before it repeats back to blue
  13. VCS, it playable, but doesn't hold a candle to Armada. Atari Computer systems, haven't used, so cant compare. Are you sure your playing it on "GAME" format, and not Practice. The practice format leaves the game in an easy as heck format if you do it on startup, and of 1 level prior to your death if you do it after a game. As for controls, unless your one who hates the INTV controllers in general, the controls are about as smooth as it can get.
  14. Space Armada, seriously???? How could you consider this one of the worst of the INTV... With changing game conditions every 2 waves, from exploding bombs, to disappearing enemies, to guided missles, this is actually one of the better Invaders "ports" I've seen
  15. Let's see... DK - suprisingly while yes, it's bad from a game perspective, me and my dad back in the day have a warm spot for this one, as we had to pull out the INTV1 in order to play this (our normal machine was a 2), so we'd play for an hour or so in 2 player combat on DK, so I can't give it the hammer. DK Jr. on the other hand, I never played as a kid and can see it for what it is, terrible... you fall off chains for no reason in the trampoline level, Junior doesn't respond to presses to let go of a vine, and the birds only fly once in the lockup level, come on... TA's RC game, again, a family fav racing to the 100 mile trek, we'd count it as driving from Sioux City to Omaha, NE (which was about 100 miles, actually), and of course the busy traffic (mode 2) is the way to go. We'd have a lot of close (1sec) differences on the end of the 100 mile race. TRUCKIN, on the other hand, I'll agree does suck. Zaxxon, perfectly fine in my book. Never really cared for the arcade machine, but for what it is, this isn't anywhere near as bad as some would have you believe... now the VCS version, that is a turd... Pole Position, I can't really say I hate it, other then it seems rushed as the timer doesn't count down in a uniform rate. (If your crashed/not doing anything the timer goes a lot faster than if your at top speed), as it seems the timer was built into game cycles, and not an actual timer. Other than that, while pushing the INTV's limits, I do not think of it as a "reason to say why racing games shouldn't been done on the INTV". I've know that I've been personally responsible for converting some AA folks to the wondrous world of Vectron, so I wont rehash here
  16. No, just STOP playing it on EMULATION and put it on actual hardware where the 16-direction disc does get a good workout I'd be willing to toss DK Jr. in the worst pile, as evidenced by the lack of competition this time around on the HSC.
  17. Let's see what this ratings guru has to say to see if he's worth anything... Tarmin C+ (dingbat) Armor Battle D (ok, he got 1) Auto Racing D- (definitely wrong) Astrosmash C (buzz him again) Buzz Bombers F (please, there is way worse games, so wrong again) Donkey Kong D- (Was he drunk when he called DK Jr. an A) Ice Trek D (God this guy is pissing me off) Microsurgeon D (Iconic game and this moron rates it a D?) Night Stalker D- (CASE IN POINT, VCS you taking this guy's word?) Space Armada D- (AGAIN, I doubt this donk has played a INTV game) Star Wars (Empire) D+ (looks to find a garbage can to vomit) Tron (Maze/Solar) F (Again, shoot this guy now) Vectron D (SOLD, this guy is a moron) AND from his OWN writeup on DK Jr. ...In order to rescue his father from Mario, Junior must traverse a "vines" screen and a "locks" screen. This guarantees he NEVER played this game, as they are more than just vines/locks, and describing it this way proves to me this boy doesn't know jack crap.
  18. the regular Pac-Man creators fixed that in later releases of Pac-Man, so that is not the real movement either.
  19. Yes, this weekend get your fill of the 30-th Anniversary yellow disc on Google's main page, as they stretched out the Pac-Man maze to play Pac-Man with the Google Logo. One interesting INTV note is look how they handle the score/lives/fruit, by putting them up/down as the INTV did Yes, one other note, Ms. Pac-Man can play this game too, just click "Insert Coin" twice on startup to get Ms. Pac-Man to join the game (both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man play simultaneously) in the game, but only share one live bank, and if the ghosts catch EITHER pac-man, it's death for both. And yes, the Intermissions are here (at least thru the 2nd, as thats as far as I got with 49,940)
  20. "New Levels" for DK? Does this guy really expect someone to pony up $3,000?
  21. To try to help others thru this torture, the game is setup thusly... Lvl 1 - Jungle1 Lvl 2 - Chain/Key1 Lvl 3 - Jungle2 (2nd pattern) Lvl 4 - Trampoline1 Lvl 5 - Jungle3 (SPEED UP occurs here) Lvl 6 - Chain/Key2 Lvl 7 - Jungle4 (Extra red guy/faster yet) Haven't got past 7 to see if they put the 4th screen or left it at 3.
  22. Nice excuse rgw, you just don't want to play this embarrassment of a game... Hopefully everything works out for you rgw!
