intvdave #76 Posted December 8, 2015 I thought I read something about this game. Found it. The programmer ran out of memory and couldn't finish the game. See post #6 below. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/13826-swords-and-serpents-end-of-game/?do=findComment&comment=1174839 Good thing memory is not an issue any more 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intvdave #77 Posted December 8, 2015 I did not remember how far I was with Mystic Castle. I had 5 rounds of play (original was 4) and there is a menu that lets you select the level of play to start on. I think I was just about done with the game sans tuning the levels. How many rounds do you want in the game? I just added two more for a total of 7 rounds I could add a bunch more but do not think they add a bunch of value. Do we want to get to the end of the game or have it keep going? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+cmart604 #79 Posted December 8, 2015 I like the idea of it ending and look forward to seeing how quick grips gets it finished in. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Opry99er #80 Posted December 8, 2015 intvdave, I am new to this community here, but I have spent the last two hours reading your old posts, watching youtube videos, and soaking in all the IntelligentVision stuff I could handle. Just wanted to say thank you for your brilliant efforts and enhancing the Intellivision experience overall. I would be interested in buying a new CIB baseball game as well, if one happens to find its way to market. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Games For Your Intellivision #81 Posted December 8, 2015 You could do both and have an 'arcade' mode that never ends and a 'quest' mode with an ending... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fushek #83 Posted December 8, 2015 Hopefully Dave, you already know my response to if we need new games. Baseball is my favorite game ever ... a new, faster version would be awesome. And Mystic Castle might be worth buying for some beautiful artwork on the cover. And yeah, an ending would be sweet ... always nice to have that final sense of achievement. Always good to see you on the forums ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiLic0ne t0aD #84 Posted December 9, 2015 I'm interested in and probably will buy whatever you release, intvdave. Thanks for your dedication over all these years. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intvdave #85 Posted December 9, 2015 Mystic Castle was sent out to a "tester". I am curious to get their feedback if the game is much better or not. I have a total of 7 rounds / 21 playing levels in the game. At the beginning of the game, you can choose one of 4 playing levels. All this does is put you deeper into the levels/rounds. Beginner starts on round 1 and Pro starts on round 4. Pro will play 4 rounds like the original game played but it starts off harder. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
