Is '125' truly the amount of officially released Intellivision game?

[Rev]

Oh noez!!! Blasphemy from Rev!!!! Has he lost his mind by daring to question the 125 count?

 

I came up with my own list......does anyone else have the 'official 125' list handy?

 

I think one of the games on this list is a variation.....

Sh!t disturber! The 125 is sacred.

[JasonlikesINTV]

I think Rev is trolling

 

What was your variation? World Championship Baseball?

Edited June 17, 2013 by JasonlikesINTV

[+cmart604]

He doesn't have one.

[Rev]

:-)

 

Im thinking of World Championship Baseball.

 

It has just a very few very very minor gameplay elements. It is virtually the same game. It was released after the MLB license was lost/not paid. It really is a hack and a name change with a new box.

 

If this game counts, then so should Big League Baseball and Super Series Big Leauge Baseball.

 

And why stop there! Nfl football and Football...etc etc

[+cmart604]

No way, it's a waaaaay better game, especially since its one player. It's literally the game I've played the most on the Inty. Your logic is horrible, plus you don't know anything about sports games, self admittedly! Lol!

[+thegoldenband]

I thought it was going to be Pac-Man Atari vs. Pac-Man INTV, personally. At least with Learning Fun I & II they changed the name!

[pimpmaul69]

it was originally called baseball 2 and there is a rom of it named just that instead of all-star baseball

[Rev]

but the graffix are the same!

 

No way modern baseball game makers like EA would release the same game year after year with just a few tweeks and a year/name change!

did you not play every single ea sports games from 93-96 on super nes and genesis? they only changed the rosters. Edited June 17, 2013 by pimpmaul69

[pimpmaul69]

i also came up with a slogan making fun of ea's own slogan: "if it's in the game, it's still the same!" the only reason they ever improved anything is 2k sports selling better, cheaper sports games.

You know, I always thought the very same but I never dared to speak up!

But, to an Italian, every baseball game (and american football as well) looks exactly the same, so my opinion doesn't really matter here

I'm going to have a mod shut this thread down as it is chock full of trouble.

Oh, I see, it has a bat and a ball and... bases. Therefore, they're the same game with a different name.

 

We're not talking about a change in license or marketing category, Mattel INTV Corp. did release it as an entirely different game. I don't know anything about sports, and I've never played either, but even I can tell they are different games.

To me... The game has major changes.

1. MLB, because a ground ball and fly ball were the same, it was almost impossible to get a hit in MLB.

2. All Star added slidding/sprinting or something like that, making it possible to get infield hits and almost impossible to turn double plays. MLB, you could turn triple plays.

3 . The grapics are different, MLB's running man is better, because slidding was added, the batter carries the bat with him in All Star/

3b. The infield is much better in All Star and the screen scrolls up for long fly balls/home runs.

4. 1 or 2 player added with difficulty settings. Though, the 1 player mode at the hardest level is still very easy and not so fun

 

It was scrolling credits and level's 1 to 9 away from being supper pro baseball. Hmmm, What would have been called?

Home Run, super pro baseball? Even with the horrible 2600 version out.

Strike 3!, had that for the C=64 before intv relase it.

Just wondering.. Accolade had great title names.. "4th and inches" for football etc

.

 

All Star/ World Champion are box vs screen.

You can also re-position your outfielders in All Star. Was pretty sure you could not in MLB

[stc2009]

And the box hasn't a gatefold version, and is a different shade of blue!

 

[actually I don't really have anything to contribute to this discussion.............]

Calm down you nervous nelly. It is only a question! Im not stating it as fact. :-)

The almighty Blue Sky Rangers have decided:

 

"Between the central California test marketing in 1979 and the final Intellivision mail-order catalog for Christmas 1989, there were 125 games published for the Intellivision console."

 

End discussion! Over and Out!

 

 

[Fushek]

I'm thinking that if you would make the argument for any game, it would be Slap Shot and not WCB. As 1980gamer listed, there were several enhancements to the game vs the original that really change the game and make it better (including no more bunt home runs!). Slap Shot's only change per the Intellivision Lives website is that they added the 1 player option. No other enhancements ...

 

That being said, the number is still 125.

[Rev]

Well, now with slap shot taken out, its only 123!!!!!
