Entry 2020: Infiltrator
Old Timey Retro Gamer replied to cmadruga's topic in IntyBASIC Programming Contest 2020
I almost finished it too! I wasn't quite Batman though!??. Thank you for your time and effort on this game. I hope that you'll be able to continue further with it for the Intellivision community! It feels like an authentic game, like it should have been released in 1982! It is fun. Finally finished it!!!! I'll have to try the hard level next! -

I don't know if this was meant to be, but the room where the medical kit is found, does not let your character walk on the blue floor at the top. You have to have him walk against the wall. And sometimes, the guard at the bottom does not spot him (maybe I am too far away). I don't know if that is a bug was intentional. One other thing happened to me (only once), but while in the minefield (where the device is in corner) I stepped on a mine, and it put my guy on the next screen (in the forest). I tried moving again, and it switched back to the minefield where I was, and played normal. Those were the only things that I found. My son thought the game was very fun too. -

I can take the pics down if you'd like. I thought the graphics were great, so I figured I would post them. -

I got a lot further today! I hacked the communications tower! I got into the enemy base, but I guess I didn't have the right key in hand to open the door, and the AT-AT robot got me!! -

Here is a couple of suggestions (just suggestions). I haven't finished the game yet, but from time to time, you have some hints that show up on the screens (as balloons that pop up). I think they are helpful when someone is new to the game, but I think it is disruptive during the game, if you've played it a bunch, and know what to expect. I believe the beginning of the game should always display it as you have (as it describes what is needed to be done to win the game), but when you start the gameplay (like trying to dive into the water, rather than it stating the current is too strong, or later in the game that the soldiers have cloaking devices, to have a button on the keypad to display those hints if needed. That way, it would not interfere with the gameplay if you are familiar with it. Also, I'm thinking that if someone wants to play the harder level game, then when your guy approaches a door that he doesn't have the correct key card, you should have the doors flash red, with the old Intellivision buzz as an alarm, and trigger the guards to start chasing the player! I will try to get my 2 Teenage sons to play it, and get a perspective from them. They are not that big into the Intellivision, but if there are any bugs, I'm sure they would find them. So far, I am enjoying the game. It is very cool how many screens you have mapped out on it! -

The mine field was really tricky, as I was expecting to go through a different route (don't want to give it away). It didn't take me too long to work it out though. It is very tough dealing with those cloaked soilders. I thought the glasses were going to help me, but it said it was not night time. So far it's very enjoyable. I think you set the bar really high so far! I was able to keep returning to the medical kit, but I got too far away once I got past the minefield. I didn't want to go back through it again!? -

I played it some more today. So I managed to make it past the mine fields, and collected the level 3 battery. I also managed to find the night goggles and got through the forest levels. But the cloaking solders got me before I could get past a big gate. I think I was headed to a green truck or another helicopter. At that point, I was getting mauled! 25 times spotted, 29 times damaged, and 1 objective completed. Still weak sauce!??? -

You have done a great job on this. I like that it is challenging. I think it would be boring if it were too easy. My problem is that I need to stop trailing red footsteps.....??? -
