    Good gosh !!! The graphics and controls are worse than I remember. This final product is embarrassing! After Empire Strikes Back, this is the worst game in the collection. Leave it to the Parker Brothers collection. Everyone at Parkers Intellivision Division is still in hiding from 1982.

    Sewer Sam is the worst by far IMHO.....

    Okay, so I'm not really sure speed is the best way to score chess, for future reference. Number of moves would be a much better benchmark. 

     

    I played for about 90 minutes this evening and kept stumbling into basically the same game every time, and did it often enough that it started coming really fast. I think that's the exact same game that originally took me 6+ minutes to do. 

     

    Therefore I'm fine if you want to disallow my 1:53 and stick with my original time since all I did was basically input it faster because I'd already done all the thinking in prior games. 🙂

    You may be right but this was the first time Chess was ever played at the HSC so we didn’t really know what to expect. I am fine with your time. You developed a winning pattern and got checkmate faster than anyone else did. Congrats... 👍

    Players should indicate what demon attack game they are playing.  It can be players choice here but each game variation should have a separate all time record.

     

    Twin galaxies has two tables: default and tracer.  The highest score recorded is under tracer.  Twin galaxies doesn't specify what default is, so I see no reason why someone couldn't submit a tracer score and grab the default high score.

    Okay, I see your point. I believe Parsley has the default record here at 35k and yes the tracer shots record at TG is me.... I'm also 2nd place on the default level, came like 300 points from that record and died twice to end the game. I'm working on beating that score as well. Hopefully I can get that one soon.... 😁

     

    @Player One Your 36k score on Demon Attack was that game 1 or game 7?

    @Rickster8 Yes, I have Popeye somewhere. I spent all my time this week trying to match your guys’ chess scores... I just started demon attack.... so I’ll start Popeye soon! 
     

    you chose REALLY challenging games this season :) so I’m endlessly playing catch-up LOL 

    Lol yes I mentioned in another post we should change this seasons theme from Variety make games to games that are frustrating as hell.... 😝

    I wasn’t going to catch 53,000 Rickster.... but I was 10 minutes away from the “beat the old high-score bonus”. and putting the game back in storage. 
     

    I’m just so upset - I’m done on demon attack. No point. 
     

    Did you manage to get a screen pic of the 35k game? I started videoing my play cuz of the YUGE glitch potential..... 🙄

     

    Do you have the Popeye cart?

    I just had a glitch on demon attack. I had 3 men and I was against the rainbow demons. 
     

    35,600 points. I had 4 more rainbows to kill off... and the game went to black screen. Game over. 
     

    By best, luckiest game of my life and it’s stuck on the black screen. 
     

    very pissed. 

    Yes that's another glitch that happens. On the rainbow demons screen they will usually appear in one straight line, but sometimes the glitch will happen where they are on different levels. That actually happened to me on me 53k score, but the game didn't freeze that time, it luckily kept going. There are a bunch of different glitches on this game.... Frustrating.... I think Parsley posted a pic where that happened...

    Demon Attack-7442

    Ah, a couple K off my PB, I was gonna say "I'm done", but looking at the scores, I probably should try again, scores pretty tight right where I am, even tho I'm really not all that "competitive", it's just easy to want to go after bait that is closeby, haha!

    Truly-told a couple of ya in private, for the most part, the very least of ya even just seem a step above what I can do on the INT-I didn't grow up with it, only played a few years, but have played quite a bit, don't get me wrong-I really am "naturally talented", on a LOT of other systems, on games that "suit my style", but the INT just really has my number, in general.

    No excuses-I try as hard on it as anything else, I DON'T dislike the disc, but the games are truly a tad harder, typically, than other systems, what you all have shown me so far is very, very impressive!!!

     

    "Participation Point" on Chess?

    Does that mean, "You at least tried"?

    'Cause I hope I can get that at least, I played Demon Attack for 15 minutes, I've played Chess for friggin HOURS and I simply can't seem to beat it, is pissing me right off!!!

    :P

    It's interesting to see how bad controls plagued many Intellivision games: Lock'n'Chase, Demon Attack, Popeye and many others. 

    Makes me think how much of that contributed to the negative perception some folks had of the Intellivision's unique controller design. When it was actually a software issue, I mean.

    Add Beauty & The Beast, Night Stalker and that wretched unmentionable Coleco game that has a mouse and some cats in it to the list. The only Demon Attack controller movements that bother me are when you are fighting the Mother Ship. When you try to move right to keep in line with the yellow kamikazes that are coming at you it is difficult as Spartan said it moves over two spots at times instead of one and then you have to kind of re-group cuz you missed a shot due to the line up being off. The other demon attack screens the movement is fine for me though.....
