INTELLIVISION SPARTAN

Ok guys... I just used my old strategy .. by the book, keeping my islanders happy. I think it’s a decent score:) 2288 if it’s hard to read!

Cool thanks !! I didn’t know 100 was a max in a round! I’ll try to read up on scoring secrets. I remember hearing a guy on a retro podcast a few years ago, laughing about the scoring.... here’s what he said: “HAHAHA you build a bunch of HAHAHA ... and your score HAHAHA will be the highest HAHAHAHAHA.” He was laughing so much, I couldn’t hear what the trick was LOL 😂 For sure it was something funny. He couldn’t stop laughing.

Something tells me Biffman and Mr. Me have a b-line strat on Utopia I don’t even know if those are good scores LOL ... I’ll be happy to get just a couple Bonus points. I played this a lot .. but usually with a neighbour who never played Intellivision. So I spent my time chasing his fishing boat with my PT boat. That was the best part of the game LOL 😂

Yes. I was on a good run and that sneaky banana slug 🐛 ate the last TWO plants !!! And my game ended. I didn’t even know he could do that!

I haven’t played Utopia since 1983. I’ll just built shit and cross my fingers on the score. LOL 😂

Jacob, do I get two patches? LOL 🤣 I forgot how slowly the score goes up in this game ! It's been a looooooong time 😂

The rapid fire in Worm Whomper is worth the price of admission right there! Amazing programming!

That’s a great lineup! Anyone who did AD&D (which was a 10/10 in it’s day) is in my good books !!! One INTV that I feel is overlooked is “Super Decathlon” AND Super Basketball”. I really loved the original basketball .... but the Super Basketball.... HOLY COW !!!! Talk about value for your dollar !!! Of all the revised sports games, the Basketball takes the cake!

That’s soooo cool! I wasn’t very hopeful trying Thunder.... but wow, I instantly became very addicted. You’re right. The graphics, the music ... all the screen levels .... one of the best games in the whole collection. I will check out the revised edition Ironically while we were playing Night Stalker a few weeks ago, I kept getting flashbacks of Thunder Castle I never realized they have a similar feel to them. Love them both !!!

Luckily I have both carts LOL . I played Utopia back in the day ... and as luck would have it, I started collecting intellivision games before the prices got crazy. I picked up many rare games - of course not all of them ... but I did get Pac Man and Worm Whomper. I never played Pac Man. I never felt the need to play it (until now ) ... But I did have a go or two at Worm Whomper. If it came out in 1982 it would have been a gem classic, same as Thunder Castle. I honestly don't like most of the later/rare games but WW and TC are exceptions. I don't understand the buzz about Diner. Many people love it. I think it's horrible... it's like an Atari game ... but to each his own I guess.

Ok I get it .... it's called "Bonus" as opposed to "second game contest" because the scores that you can earn on the HSC points leaderboard are roughly half of what a main game would be worth ! Ok I get it !!!

It may be that I’m also mis-understanding. But I think Utopia is just being added as a second contest during the 15 day Worm Whomper challenge. I don’t think the scores or rankings are being added together or anything like that. It’s two independent games during that time interval.

It’s very surreal for me that you all play Intellivision I thought I was the only one! I’m having the time of my life guys!!!!!!

Soooooo cool guys.... when I want to play a game I have to go through my gaming trunk to find every game! And why is it that every game that I want to find is at the very bottom of the pile?? LOL 😂

Hey Gar0u; that’s cool! I have an interesting/funny story about Twin Galaxy that you reminded me of. A couple years ago I was going to register and load in scores for two Auto Racing Courses. I started practicing and I got faster times on both courses. I checked the times to be sure that I was faster.... and another member had just beat both of the times. The new times were comparable to mine, so I took a little break before trying again to get faster times. I checked back a few weeks later and the original leader came back and crushed the guy’s times LOL 😂

Rickster, my birthday is coming up in December and I don’t have an ultimate flashback wink 😉 wink 😉 LOL 😂 ❤️👍🏻😂

Nicely done, Biffman! You’re over the 100k hump

LOL 😂 !!!!!! It will definitely be a VERY close season race LOL 😂!!!!!! You guys are taking turns just dominating the scoreboard!! LOL 😂!!!!!!!!

Rickster is upgrading it to an ultimate flashback, with built-in Raspberry Pi and HD picture. So he’ll have one upstairs and one downstairs, playing real ROM’s!

So Rickster, you will have 2 ultimate flashbacks !!! Awesome! I’m jealous!

No problem at all here. No home brews!

No problem! For sure some home brews are very expensive !!! I’ll let you guys work out the rules for choosing games Accounting for accessibility of games. Ms. Pac was just a suggestion. I definitely have others that I would want before MPM anyway

Awesome Ace !!!!

I seem to have lost my mojo again. It’s really weird. I have to play 50 tries until I get on a good run. I chalk it up to excellent programming. I can’t wait to compete on Ms Pac-Man in the future. Nothing beats those marching fruit; and catching the bananas on the run! We had an Intellivision Ms. Pac-Man tournament here at my home a few years ago .... everyone was just loving the game! Holy Moly... what an amazing port of Ms. PAC !!!!!!!!!

After 50 horrible tries yesterday everything went right on this game today. I got lucky about seven times.
