Don't be alarmed. It's the magic fail of intentionally making your video bad in order to go "viral".

Not really. The headline INTELLIVISION GEN2 was the bait for me. Thought someone was resurrecting one of my favorite consoles. No such luck.

how do i get back the 3 minutes and 10 seconds i just wasted?

[BassGuitari]

I read the title as "Keith Robinson and Andy Warhol..." Now THAT would be interesting.

They MIGHT wanna consider having a Youtube channel other than "1337LoungeLive" host the video, they have like 158 subscribers lol, are these friends of theirs? Actually the channel seems to be trying really hard to come off big and part of the whole "gamer mindset" or whatever so I was surprised to see only 158 subscribers........

These are great remakes of their most famous games. Love'em!

That Chinese girl is a nice butter face though. But that Andy Dick clone has to go.

Someone go on and ask them when they are doing real carts for the Intellivision....

I asked and the answer was basically no carts, only updates of the existing IPs. They seemed excited about an update to Frog Bog once they heard some ideas from participants on how they thought it could be done.

Battle frogs!

Battle frogs!

 

Neat idea with simple rules and collision detection. If the two frogs meet in the air, the higher one wins (Joust!) knocking the other into the water. Eating a fly gives you a power up and allows you to defeat the other frog automatically (unless, he's in power up mode as well, in which the first rule comes into play). Maybe add some special tongue attacks?

 

Of course, you could add complex moves like Left, Left ,Right ,Fire, Fire, Left for a Fatality move in which you rip the other frog's tongue out, but that might be going a little extreme.

 

"Fatality ... green frog wins." (Intellivoice enhanced version!)

Two frogs enter. One frog leaves. Two frogs enter. One frog leaves.

I think I can do a bit better than a frog bog game .

Hell ya, Battle Frogs with guns, rocket launchers, and thermal nuclear weapons.

Using the Inty's coloured squares mode (like Snafu does) its possible to do a destroyable terrain kind of game. With on cart RAM you could have a larger terrain and then scroll left/right as well to make it even more interesting.

Think Frog Bog, and add elements of that worms turn based strategy game. Like dude said launchers and stuff.

 

How hard would that be? It would be a nice two player game or could be be against the computer?

 

Do programmers love it when non programmers throw ideas out there! :-)

Sure... We put it in the "special files" bin.
