Troy_Whelan Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is this just an announcement or a pre-order ?I am in for 3 copies NTSC, and 3 copies CBS if available. Lowest numbers if numbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I sure hope the serial number game has run its course, to be honest. Is a sticker with a different number worth more? Showing my ignorance... is the title a reference to another ... more widely recognized game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing my ignorance... is the title a reference to another ... more widely recognized game? A quick google search on 4XV shows that is the name for a Yamaha bike. Only connection I can see is the game programmer likes that bike (maybe)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACFinPGH Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Wow, looks fun. Over/under on the number of posts treating this announcement thread as a pre-order thread is 50.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric7100 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm interested in two copies when the pre-order starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looks promising, but I'm glad it's not happening for a while. I need to do other Intellivision stuff for a while. Like many have said before, I can't believe I'm complaining about too much new stuff coming out, but it's a lot to take in. Ahem, Rev.

AtariBuff Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looking very much forward to this game. This seems like a phantastic release. Can't wait, Winter 2015/2015 is NOT an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Looks boring, hopefully it gets huge graphical improvements. Honestly, I get the feeling, that the average quality of homebrews sinks. Its really time for a new DZ Jay game, he seems to see more than just fast money in this community. Well, maybe I will be surprised, but I cant feel very happy with tons of game which seem to be okay, but not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBuff Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm not with you on this opinion. I smell great playability and addictivity. Also, when winter 2014 is set for a release, we both know that this preview won't possibly be the final word on graphical issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 We will see, I am very sceptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Will follow thread and support when available. I'm also glad not ready for a while - too much product at once gets really expensive. Good luck with game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'll definitely be in for a copy when the game is finished. I'm surprised by the ship sprite being identical (?) to the 2600 version of Asteroids. While that sprite is decently iconic, I never thought it was all that great.

retroillucid Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Any idea who the programer(s) is(are)? It's a CollectorVision ''in-house'' programmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Winter of 2015? At least from the animated GIF it looks like it's missing some game-play elements, like enemies or additional challenges, for instance. This would make sense if still has over a year of development to go. I do question, however, why it's being announced with such furor this early, if indeed we won't see how it will actually look or play until much later. There are already plenty of announced "coming soon" games this year. Oh well. Good luck, though, it looks like it has potential. dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
