    I have most carts, including thin ice. Believe it or not,I have it complete in the box somewhere. 
     

    I can check my cart to compare to tell you how it should play. Mine is DEFINITELY not purple. And the game is tough as hell.

    I think it was just the hue of the screen shot. The grey background just tinted more purple than grey. Sometimes my screen shots turn yellow. ‘Shiz’ happens..

    Duncan's a dumb-ass.....

    Duncan's 1st Entry: This is my 'PB' already so it may be my 'first' and my 'last' lol..... I know there are some tricks to this game, like dunking the seal and the polar bears.. I can do it occasionally, but not enough to get a high score.... I'm actually pretty happy with this score so I might pull a Matt with He-man. One and DONE!!!! 😜

     

    Duncan thought it would be funny to hide inside the 'Game Over' words.... I'm not amused..... 😝

    Duncan never learned to skate backwards, and I think that's bullshit.

     

    Instructions mention a 6k bonus for skating the entire screen. Anyone ever accomplish this?

    Lol hey Cortex, did you play the Grape Nehi version of Thin Ice? 😜 Very purple-ish hue to that screen..... 🟣🟪💜🟪🟣

    We are already up to Game 7 almost half way thru Season 14 of the InTV HSC. 😲

     

    We just finished up He-Man and are now playing Thin Ice / Zaxxon / Carnival. Next game on Tap is Centipede. Please feel free to drop bye and throw in some scores. Just screen shot your score and good to go.... 

     

    We had 19 different people submit He-Man scores.... 👍

    The population needs entertainment. Factories hospitals and schools? I would swim to another island!!! 
     

    you need to add movie theatres, and nightclubs.  Factor in entertainment for well-being and building nightclubs on your island to increase the population ! 
     

    pay an extra 10 good bars for the club to have a liquor licence. The nightclub will get a gold-star on it to signify the licence. and it will double the rate of your population growth compared to no liquor licence.  
     

    in the original game you want to keep your population low to be able to better accommodate them to maximize your points. Your game should give more points if you keep a larger population happy. There is no incentive in the original game to increase your population. 
     

    you’re very welcome!!  Just give me credit somewhere in the manual! 
     

    if you have follow up questions, shoot me a PM. 

    Strip Clubs Sparty? 😜

    258,100 - skill 2

     

    Interesting game and very responsive, anti-Coleco, controls. That flying stage is a bit like patting your head while rubbing your belly, but good stuff. I enjoyed chasing Skeletor around with a crater. Think I got 3 of them with 1 crater once. Lol. 

    20210314_163411.jpg

    I wish you had an option to chase skeletor going right to left instead of left to right. Because I'm righty I'm much better using my right thumb to press the left side of the disc. Like when I play InTY hockey I have to be playing as the team on the right side going left much better disc directional control for me. Maybe it's some kind of left / right side brain thing with me....🤔

    More Intellivision fan reactions to report on Zaxxon by coleco: 

     

    “MAN this game sucks but I’m sooooooo good at it so I don’t mind”

    - Rickster 

     

    “I thought the Intellivision was supposed to be better than Atari... NOT”

    - Atari players trying coleco games on Intellivision 

     

    “I know I’m not supposed to like coleco games, but it’s not that bad”

    - Fakecortex

     

    ”The more everyone hates these games, the better I place on the leaderboard”

    - CMadruca

     

    ”The graphics need work... but you should see the intricate programming that went into this game ... ah who am I kidding? This game does suck!”

    - Mr. Me 

     

    “This game sucks ass”

    - Sparty 

     

    Hahahhahahaaha yeah right never said that Sparty-cuss....... 😜

    I'm pretty stuck on this one. Cannot seem to do any better than the 323k I posted. I can't even get back to that score truthfully. It's a very frustrating game and fits right into our Season 14 theme 'Games that frustrate the hell out of you'. The fireballs that bounce up and down are inescapable. If you cannot shoot them right away you're TOAST.. Grrrrrrrrrr 🤬

     

    This game ends tomorrow night so guess I'm done with my last score..... 🙄

     

    So Jacob will post Thin Ice tomorrow night and I am giving a Daylight Savings Time Sneak Peek Preview for the next game after that a day early.... 😜

     

     

    Daylight Savings Time Sneak Peek Preview:

    Game 9 - Centipede - AtariSoft 👍

    OMG I broke the poor game (Zaxxon) that is, forgot to take a pic... 

     

    I hit the end of level robot the second it appeared on screen it took 1 hit and immediately disappeared.. however the game didn't progress and after about 20-30 seconds the missle came from the absolute top right corner of the screen after the ship. With no bot on screen to destroy had no choice but to die.

    I've had a similar thing happen to me when facing the boss. If you shoot him from a distance and hit him the game will glitch... I've done it a few times....
