10. Super Pro Curling - What? It'd be fun I tell ya!

 

I would absolutely and non-ironically be into this! It'd be a perfect fit for the system.

I agree! Curling would probably work great on the Intellivision.

[mr_intv]

I agree! Curling would probably work great on the Intellivision.

as a Canadian, this game has to happen, perhaps change bowling up somewhat, have the player throw a curling stone instead of a bowling ball, and when the view changes, have it with curling rings instead of bowling pins, is this doable?

I would love to see haunted house, Frenzy, and Boing!.

Don't think I can come up with 10 but here are some games I'd like to see:

 

1. Spy Hunter - with the awesome music, Intellivision style

2. Demon Blaster - An updated Melody Blaster using Demon Attack baddies as the notes to destroy with keystrokes that make music

3. Double Dragon - My favorite original NES game

4. Tie Fighter - Space Battle with a Star Wars theme

5. Lord of the Rings - Should really be a series like the D&D games were

6. Monopoly - Yeah I said it!

7. Harry Potter and the Chessmaster - Bring Wizard's Chess aspects to the Intellivision

8. Oregon Trail - You know you'd play it!

9. Star Trek: Borg Wars- Space Spartans with a Star Trek TNG theme and Borg Cubes!

10. Super Pro Curling - What? It'd be fun I tell ya!

 

Hey look at that, I did make it to 10!

 

I just realized that one of my wants actually came true thanks to Rev!

I'm jealous of the homebrew holiday (Halloween, extra christmas games) that the 2600 has that we don't. Those would be prime candidates.

I'd like to see Stay Frosty on the Intellivision. I would even port it myself.

That would be fantastic. I think Holiday based games are usually my favorite homebrews that are created.

Not an entirely dead idea. :-)

A port of Sheriff could fit really well on INTV.Safari Rally from SNK and the must,Zoo Keeper

[GenetixJ]

James Bond's Casino Games. Baccarat and Texas Hold 'em. Maybe a bartender's reference guide included?

I am still very tiny Christmas mileage from Carol vs Ghost. Keep the holiday theme games coming!

Hold'em needs to be made for INTV. Maybe add it to the slots game that was never released like Las Vegas Slots and Hold'em?

[+fdr4prez]

I've compiled the list from the many posts here and did a simple alpha-sort

 

but I have not made any indications for what has already been released or currently being worked on.

 

And many more need to be started.

 

 

1)      A "choose your own adventure" style text game. Read through the story with occasional graphic to enhance gameplay.

2)      A 1-Player Utopia where you can play against the CPU

3)      A Forest Fire Fighting team that sky dives into and fights the fire. You could use aircraft to fight the fire as well, even call in helicopter for evacuation.

4)      A frying pan game where you control a spatula and try to keep all the little food characters in the pan.

5)      A good Asteroids

6)      a good vertical shooter

7)      A Maze and Ball Game - You rotate the table box to move the ball, avoid the holes and reach the end of the maze. This might be a tough game to program...You really only have two moving objects but the physics of the tilting table and perspective could be challenging.

8 )     A multi-game cart, simple games of Paper, Rock, Scissors. (Two Players), Skeeball and Darts and Balloons.

9)      A new music game loosely based on piano hero. Match the piano keys as they come down. Plenty of great 8-bit music.

My list is not a ranking.

 

It is a simple "alpha-sort", so the W games are lower in the list

 

And I removed duplicate entries.

 

So my list has nothing to do with the "top ten"

Thanks.  it was simply copy/paste from the individual posts here into Excel, sort, cleanup and paste the list here.

 

- luckily there were only 5 pages and not all had game suggestions.
