    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. :)

    Worm Whomper was done by the same guy that did Dreadnaught Factor, AD&D, Tarmin, and Sub Hunt.  Thunder Castle was done under Mattel and I agree about Diner.  Of the cartridges by INTV Corp; Spiker, SMB, Body Slam, Commando, Mountain Madness aren't bad.

    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 !!!

    Yes Word Whomper is a separate game on it's own, but the Utopia ...  I assume you have both carts? Lol is there any cart you don't have? 😝

    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.

    How does the bonus game work? I'm not sure I understand...

    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.

    I had a very solid Astrosmash score this spring.  Worked very hard to get it submitted to Twin Galaxies but it fell apart.  Their website security is broken and their volunteer staff are, well... volunteers.  Couldn't get any traction.

     

    In Shark! Shark! news, I don't think I'm going to do much better than this.

    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 😂

    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 !!!!!!!!!
