ACFinPGH Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The con itself is ReplayFX here in Pittsburgh, 7/30-8/2. http://replayfx.org/ Awesome, I'll have to stop down. Sadly I don't see intellivision listed under the console games section . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Cool! Maybe I'll run into you. As for the lack of Intellivision listed, that's why I'm volunteering one of my systems and some games! I saw the same thing and thought I needed to correct a wrong.

+cvga Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks so much for the replies. I'll be putting together a final list of what I'm going to provide over the next few weeks. The con itself is ReplayFX here in Pittsburgh, 7/30-8/2. http://replayfx.org/ Looks like fun. I was hoping to go to Austin the weekend of the July 25-26 but that's looking doubtful. Maybe I can make it to Pittsburgh for a day or two instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TestaOn Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Tropical Trouble - great for pick-up and play, but also for advancing through levels quickly Bump 'n Jump - not a quick game though if someone has some skills Snafu - I think it's only fun with two players You gotta showoff:Ms. Pac Man Christmas Carol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm into making Intellivision lists, so while this opportunity has likely passed, here are my suggestions for the criteria proposed: Burgertime Astrosmash Beauty and the Beast Shark Shark Bump 'n Jump Lock 'n Chase Nightstalker Demon Attack Pitfall Skiing Star Strike Frogger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 No, I appreciate it wongojack. The expo isn't until the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 No, I appreciate it wongojack. The expo isn't until the end of the month. Maybe a quick printed cheat sheet will help if there are games that require the player to push a weird button combo to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Great list, none of them take a ton of learning cells to understand how to play, and don't need area silence, both factors that matter in a 'con. Depending on Rick's cartridge stock, I might suggest adding-in Football or Baseball because they are "iconic" and sports were key titles for anyone not familiar with the system. Also, Tron Deadly Discs because it has a short learning curve; I originally thought AD&D Cloudy Mountain but you need quiet and is a little more cerebral. I'm into making Intellivision lists, so while this opportunity has likely passed, here are my suggestions for the criteria proposed: Burgertime Astrosmash Beauty and the Beast Shark Shark Bump 'n Jump Lock 'n Chase Nightstalker Demon Attack Pitfall Skiing Star Strike Frogger Rick, if you are bringing boxes to display on/around the setup, having something like Tron Discs might also attract eyeballs because of the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numan Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You'd also want the overlays for Cloudy Mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 I am going to stay away from overlay-required-gameplay games. But if the overlay is really just necessary to get into the game, I'll work around that with a cheat sheet. I'm also going to keep a handful of more rare/homebrew games on my person on the days that I'm attending, so I'll be able to show off games like Princess Quest, D2K, etc. The games need to be there tomorrow, so I'm getting the details finished up today! Thanks again for all the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It wasnt mentioned often enough: Shark Shark. Its a PERFECT game to present the console, because its exclusive, it hast decent graphics and sound effects and it has a pretty good gameplay with many details. Nightstalker for example would show some weak points, personally I never liked the game very much. Another big advantage of Shark Shark: Its good to play it alone or with two players. Snafu alone is boring and most other "multiplayer" games just allow to play one after another or require a 2nd player (like the early sport games). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
