scalpel Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I DO love this game. Do you think it's possible to create H.E.R.O. for Intellivision ? Who could do it ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpel Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes Jason, you're right. But I would like to play the original game with our console. May be Groovy could do it ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wasn't Groovy Bee's Rescue on Terra 5 game a H.E.R.O. clone? No! Terra 5 does not play anything like HERO . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 In my defense, I've never actually played H.E.R.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 In my defense, I've never actually played H.E.R.O. Lol! I guess it's also a safe bet to assume that even if you had played it, there was very little chance you'd read the instruction manual?

GroovyBee Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It'd be a good project for somebody wanting to do something in IntyBASIC. The HERO maps are right here on AA :- https://atariage.com/2600/archives/HEROMaps/HERO_Level01.html Personally, I don't think it'd take very long to get a bare bones engine going in IntyBASIC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I do agree, I think it could be easy to do it. Could be fun to create different maps for a H.E.R.O. II For sure David Harley and Arnauld Chevallier could create a lot of levels and maps (reference with Super BT and Stonix !). May be, they could work again in this project ? Or someone else ??

+save2600 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 A H.E.R.O. II would be cool - but another port of a game that can be played already across other systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 A H.E.R.O. II would be cool - but another port of a game that can be played already across other systems? I agree. That's why it could be absolutely AMAZING to create H.E.R.O. II for Mattel Intellivision ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 H.E.R.O. was my favorite game for the 2600! I played over and over and I still would love to play again in an Intellivision! Different levels would be cool too. Even in an original H.E.R.O., maybe it's possible to make a game variation #2 and then you have to go all the way up (holding the miner?) without time or with a new full time bar... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcasa Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Back in the 90s my dad and I almost purchased this game under the assumption that it was an Intellivision title, fortunately I examined the cart before leaving the store and realized the size was wrong... did the box even specify on which console the game was intended to be played?

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Question.....Which console had the best port of H.E.R.O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Question.....Which console had the best port of H.E.R.O.All versions are similar.I guess the analogic stick of the 5200 makes the game more interesting but I never tried it...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hmmm, I have the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, and Colecovision consoles. Maybe I'll try pick up the Coleco version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpel Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 I have the Atari 2600 and Colecovision versions. I prefer the Atari 2600 version. The Colecovision graphics are not great for this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 A very rough mock-up of what the Inty version could look like :- <---- Click to enlarge My craptastic programmer art could be much improved by a good pixel artist. The mock isn't using very many GRAM cards so there is plenty of scope for interesting backgrounds. I've allocated 3 MOBs for the player's avatar, which leaves 5 free for moving enemies, shots etc. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born and live in a Brazilian state of "Minas Gerais". We are called "mineiros". What does "mineiro" mean? Miner! I am a miner and need the Intellivision H.E.R.O. desperately! My oxygen is dropping to critical levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar G. Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 A very rough mock-up of what the Inty version could look like :- Awesome… It is nice to dream about this amazing game ported to the INTV... And after HERO, what about Frostbite? (another Activision classic) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I've always wanted to see a good Intellivision port of Solar Jetman. Maybe instead of a jetpack he could have rocket ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidLikesIntellivision Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Awesome… It is nice to dream about this amazing game ported to the INTV... And after HERO, what about Frostbite? (another Activision classic) Yes, I am waiting for Frostbite too. A Thin Ice 2 actually. The Duncan Penguin jumping as in Frostbite. A Frostbite with the thin ice theme would be excellent. Or is just me and I'm alone with this dream? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
