    I don't know if this is amusing or sad...

     

    Last night I was thinking about the two "variants" of Thin Ice and was convinced that there are two rom images floating around out there, usually named "dunvoo.rom" and "voodun.rom". So I checked my collection and didn't find the voodun variant. Eventually I hit the web in search of a rom to download, thinking I had lost it somewhere along the way. I found this posting to the intvprog list:

    I was reading up a bit about Duncan's Thin Ice. The ROM image I have for it is

    actually labeled "dunvoo", and sure enough when I mapped keys to trigger the

    easter egg to switch it from Duncan to Voochko, it worked! It made me wonder if

    the voodun variant is out there somewhere and/or if the dunvoo image has ever

    been hacked to make it a voodun. It is something I'd love to have on my system.

     

    For anyone who isn't up on the backstory, it's written up here:

    Thanks,

    Yep, found my own posting asking the very same question over a year ago! It didn't get a response, so I figured I'd ask here. Anyone seen a voodun variant and/or have a rom image?

     

    NOTE: the original link in that posting doesn't work. This is an updated link to that content: http://www.intellivi...its/intv1.shtml It seems that something at intellivisionlives.com has been hacked a bit because invalid links redirect you somewhere else completely.

    I'm not quite sure what this is. Did this guy actually burn a nonsense rom and is selling a cart? Or is it just a fake box, label, etc., slapped onto an existing common cart?

    Erk, forgive the uninformed posting. He says in the ebay listing: "You will receive one box cover, one cartridge label and 1 Instruction booklet cover printed inside & out. Made just for fun."

     

    So there is no cart, etc.

     

    I'm not sure this is "a must for any collector of home video games."

    Ah, right. That 35 number is the original text adventures only, which is what I have my sights on at the moment. I do have Grand Inquisitor, Nemesis, and Return to Zork as well.

     

    I mentioned having the collections, but here's the list: Lost Treasures of Infocom 1, Lost Treasures of Infocom 2 (one floppy copy + one CDROM copy), Masterpieces, Adventure collection, Mystery collection, Comedy collection, Scifi collection, Fantasy collection, and the Zork Anthology. I put together a little spreadsheet to see how many "game licenses" that makes since I've ended up buying multiple copies of many of these games. It's showing 135. :)

    We had one when I was young. My father bought the INTV when it was really just that or Atari VCS and he saw the superior nature of the graphics and processor in the INTV. It's kinda funny: he has since told me he kinda regretted that choice when we would run up to the neighbor's house to play on their Atari - he felt he had pushed his choice onto us. But I've since told him that the INTV games have more staying power and more replay value (at least for me) and that I'm very glad he did what he did.

     

    I started getting into collecting around 2003 when I got laid off from a job. I think I just needed something to keep me active! :)

    New to the forums; I like this idea very much. I have a quick question regarding emulation vs real hardware for scoring. Is there any limitations on controllers? Some games really shine when played with a better (*cough*) controller. For instance, I see the current game is Lock-n-Chase. I usually play that game on my arcade cabinet via emulation using an original Pacman joystick. I can do a lot better in this arrangement than I can with an inty controller. Is that allowed in the HSC? Frowned upon?

     

    To be honest, that's how I play 95+% of my Intellivision gaming. I'd probably participate in a bunch of these if I can use my arcade cab controls. Of course, some games won't work well that way...
