INTELLIVISION SPARTAN

I’m building stuff and going fishing.... while Biffman and Mr. Me are entering data into a laptop next to their Intellivision to calculate their next moves !!!!

Deep breaths coming up !!! Do you guys understand that I’m trying to compete with the best Utopia nerds on the planet... LOL It’s intimidating

Fair enough.... I know the trick. TBH ... I was a little freaked out that some people know some kind of scoring glitch that I’m not aware of .... but I’m glad to realize that it was within me the whole time. (Like Dorothy without her Ruby slippers).

I am so sick of Pac-Man and I generally don’t like the arcade ports on the Intellivision.... but Matt forced me to get into this one.... he kept nudging me, pushing me, and encouraging me... and I’m glad that he did. I really enjoyed my time playing it

I’m told that I’m too negative so I try my best to inject positivity: The anti-ghost part of this game is unfortunately due to the cramped maze board. I don’t see how the programmer could have gone around that.... except maybe let the eyes wander around the board a little longer before getting to the ghost box. There is some compensation that he placed to help the player... like the slow-motion they have going into and out of the tunnel. So it balances out... that’s what I’ve been telling myself

I mentioned the 2-player game because when your fishing boat is being chased by a PT boat and when your harbour is clogged, it’s a completely different game!!!

Guys, I can’t keep up with your scores! What place am I in now? can someone summarize our scores on Utopia nightly? I guess I’m gunning for 4th place ... but it’s hard to keep up.

I even read someone’s “reverse code analysis” with calculations.... actually.... it’s right there in the manual LOL. if a crop feeds 500 people.... you need 2 crops. Is a reverse code analysis necessary LOL 😂 I guess, yes. The reverse code does confirm that 1000 people need 2 crops ! But did we need that analysis LOL 😂

I kept hearing people on the internet giving special tricks.... there’s no special tricks. It’s right there in the manual for heaven’s sake LOL.

Folks.... BOOOOOOOYA !!!! 2,581 and I’m coming around the bend with Mr. Me in sight LOL 30 rounds, 45 seconds each.

Ok .. thank you! I thought there may be an element In there that I’m getting too good. I’ll write the settings next time.

Besides, I’m still in second to last place LOL... you should be verifying the other (possibly PED) players!

I mean 30 rounds, 45 seconds each round !!!! C’mon now!!! I never lost a Utopia match in my life. I know exactly what I’m doing. I just forgot a few things. I never felt the need to play myself. There’s 2 islands for a reason I wouldn’t play checkers by myself! But... it’s a popular thing on the internet to play 1 player Utopia... so I’m being a sport.

LOL .... YES .... I’m doing 45 rounds, 30 seconds each !!! C’non now !!!

Mr. Me; no PED’s allowed here please!

Ok... I’m getting better. I tried different purchases and BOOYA!!!!! 2444. My PB !!!!

2394

You guys know the Easter egg to get rid of the hurricane, I’m sure. In case you don’t know it; When the hurricane comes, and when it’s first fully on your island, move the disc left-right-left-up-down-left-left-down and then quickly press the numbers 2,6 and 9 together with both upper side buttons, while pressing the 8 key on the other controller with your toe, and the hurricane will appear on the other island. I remember doing that totally by accident when a hurricane came on my island and I figured that out. Ok I made that up... Lol ... just kind of making fun of some of the cheesy Easter eggs on other games and a little frustrated that my islanders just don’t want to get pleased.

LOL !!!!!!! 😂 😂 I’m trying to act all-cool .... but really... OWWWWWW... this game hurts

LOL !!! Amazing !!!

Lol ... definitely the anti Pac-Man. If I have any dots on the top left of the board, I don’t eat any ghosts LOL!! Amazing score too !!!

Thank you!!! I never tried so hard to get good at a new game! I played hundreds of tries ... thankfully, it paid off my ultimate goal was 300,000... and I DID IT !!!!!! Feelin’ so good!

A Miracle game !!! Every single turn that I took, I guessed right !!! I'll never get close to this score again LOL. Mr. Matt-Man - you're the man on Pac-Man !!! I took every single turn correct, and I still only have half your score LOL.

The utopia referee was liking my island near the end. I was given 96 points per round on the last few rounds, But no idea why it took so long. I’ll try different variations of purchases to see what the invisible Utopia referee gives me. Which is the button to buy a strip club? That will get tons of points, I’m sure!!!

Holy cow! Much more than my score!! NICE !!!!
