Wow lots of accident deleted scores, I don't remember losing a single score, I didn't even know that was possible! 😛

My score of 203,000 is probably a personal best, this was my old best 9 yrs ago,

I’ve always hated Joust with a passion. I understand it’s a classic, but I think its one of if not the most frustrating  arcade game of all time. Needless to say, didn’t do so hot on this one.

 

As for the “things with wings”, how about Swordquest: Fireworld? 7 THING WITH WINGS!

 

 

 

 

FIREWORLD is taken, you gonna need another!

I'm interested though - have you got good by playing these on the Colecovision, or do you genuinely enjoy the pain and distress of playing the Intellivision versions?

(And please don't tell me you also like the Intv Donkey Kong and Zaxxon!) 🤪

I have never owned a Colecovision. I did want one some yrs ago, but a bit expensive (many seem broken too) ... also I am limited in room space, small home.

 

I prefer Intellivision over 2600, Colecovision.

Yes, I'm very good at Donkey Kong, and Jr. and Venture I can roll score on hardest setting, but yeah that games too easy!

 

Never played Zaxxon besides a few mins emulation.

 

 

I play tested 2600 Carnival tonight, I owned it for yrs but never really played it. Its okay, a bit easy, no bonus stages or Bear round.

Any suggestions on how to control this sucker?  My biggest stumbling block is inability to do small moves to line up on the edges of the pipe wheel.  If I'm off by a tiny amount, I can't move a tiny amount to get on target, I have to do big movements and just hope it comes back in the correct spot. 

 

Using jzintv and have tried with both Flashback controller and keyboard, both seem the same. 

I just swing/tap and hope for best, when situated on right or left side of the wheel. Just tap once left or right, let go, shoot ... and hope it hits the pipe wheel. If not rise and repeat same ... that's the best I got.

Happy Traaaaaails to youuuuu

 

 

Nice never seen that Trails commercial before. So many fine games in early 80's. Designed by Carol... Ms. River Raid herself ? Very intricate, perfectly made games. Tip of the cowboy hat to her.

 

Nice challenge, not too tough, not too easy.

Jacob, are we starting another game this week?

yep its ready to go...

[Intellivision HSC Season 12 - Game 13 - Carnival]

Important: Before shooting targets, "MUTE" the Carnival music by hitting that note on the far right side of screen.

 

The game will become 100% more enjoyable on mute lol.

[Battlezone is fantastic]

I recall liking Battlezone a lot right at my first play 20 yrs ago, (which is a late start even then)

 

Battlezone usually enjoy it a bit more then Robot Tank, one reason is that unpredictabilty of Battlezones gameplay, and those awesome LARGE tanks.

 

Robot Tank, I really like the weather changes, and simple controls... but once the speed up kicks in, my end game is ALMOST always the same number of tanks, regardless of how well I'm playing.
