  1. My brother refuses to play the Intellivision because of it's stiff, uncomfortable controllers. My Dad and I, however, have a blast with Sea Battle, and I can't get enough of Star Strike. It makes me feel like I'm piloting an X-Wing down the Death Star trench (even though the plot is different from the Death Star scene)

    Some of you may want to bang me upside the head with a frying pan to knock some sense into me, but I actually enjoy Intelly DK. The graphics remind me of the Tandy version my dad used to play when I was only four years old.

    I'm 14 and I'm an Atari freak! I get a lot of crap from my "friends" that Atari really stinks because of the poor graphics and sounds. But ya know, the only people that say that are the PS2/Xbox freaks (most GameCube owners appreciate good gameplay). A lot of the popular kids at my school can't get enough of Kaboom!


  3. Starcade was not the only video game based game show. Back in the early ninties, there was a show on Nickelodeon called Nick Arcade, but instead of playing real arcade games, they played Genesis and NES games (that were placed in orange arcade cabnets.)

    The host's name was Phil Omar or something like that.


  4. I am currently learning (struggling) to program the 8088 processor. Later on, I hope to program a VCS game. I was hoping that this assembly was similar to that of the 6502, or it would make learning 6502 a tad easier.


  5. Well, first thing when I walk into church this morning, my friend Evan gives me two games he found at a garage sale:

    Raiders of the Lost Ark (VCS)

    Defender (VCS)

    Both of which, I didn't already have. Then, my other friend Eric, gave me a box with nine, CIB Intellivision games:

    Vectron

    Star Strike

    Tron Maze-a-Tron

    Tron Deadly Discs

    Las Vegas Black Jack and poker

    MLB Baseball

    NFL Football

    Tennis

    Sea Battle

    That brings me to the 70 mark on the VCS cartridges, and 26 on the Intellivision mark (and still only six CV games )


  6. To be honest with you, I don't like any of the new systems (one of the reasons I'm on this board!) The ultimate console pick is the Atari 2600. With 600+ games already out for it, and still more to come, you definitley can not go wrong with the almighty VCS.
