Classic Game Room - BEAMRIDER review for IntelliVision

Recommended Posts

Nice, I always enjoy his reviews. Every time I watch one of his videos I add another game to my list that I want to own.

Same here. Before i re-purchased an Intellivision and relived my childhood, i re-purchased a Sega Genesis and relived my late teens/early 20's. And his videos showed me the way and told me what games to get.

This is one of the games I missed the first time around when I was a kid and it's become one of my favourites for the INTV in recent years.

He sounds a bit like a computer himself in some parts of the review. Does anyone read the instructions? He shot the bonus ship both times it appeared during the video without a comment. I love how the game ramps up the difficulty by introducing new enemies every couple of levels. Also, the Atari 2600 version of this game is excellent! Unfortunately mine quit working awhile ago :(

He sounds like a douche the rest of it. :P

 

No seriously, I just don't seem to enjoy his voice. Good review though! Its much better than those reviewers who have great voices, but babble on about retarded shit.

He disses on 2600 Beamrider, but it is a great game as well. I got 2600 Beamrider when it first came out and spent many hours on that one. Today, I have Beamrider for 2600, INTV, CV, and 5200. It really is good on all those systems.

Towards the end of the video he mentioned he shot the extra life.

 

The main part of the video is my name being mentioned. That is the important part. :lol:

Who can miss this! :thumbsup:

 

I just want to mention that I have the C64 version (beside the Intelli version) of this game.

Actually he was dissing the 2600 since he's never played Beamrider on it. I do like the Intellivision version slightly better. The disc works really well with this game although the side fire buttons are a pain. I'm not a big fan of autofire. I don't think this is a game where you just want to shoot blindly.

Hopefully he tries the Atari 2600 effort someday (He must not own any version of an Activision compilation if he has managed to never play it yet). The 2600 does justice to this game as well.
