wolfy62 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There's always 2018. Or what I think we should plan for now - the 40th anniversary of the INTV, in 2019! Even people from Mexico are welcome And Italy, Germany, Japan, France and wherever else they may be! Great idea Freewheel, I will make it for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 OK kids, in honor of the 1st anniversary of Desert Bus being released, and just in time for PRGE: I'm releasing INTV Desert Bus for sale in ROM form. I've also included a couple more just for kicks. pINg is free as it's really just a half-working beta at best. GoatNom is also available for sale for those that didn't get a chance to pick up the IntyBASIC Showcase - although I HIGHLY recommend getting that, as I truly believe that the other 2 games are even more fun! For the record: as always, all proceeds from INTVDB are going to charity. Any pennies I managed to scrape together from any other sales/donations will be going to support the stupid amount of stuff I've picked up in the past few years, to develop and test with. I'm doing this for fun, not profit, lemme tell ya. Page is basic, but functional: FW Games ROMs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Bleh, I meant to do this last night. At long last, due to unpopular undemand, are the cheat codes for INTVDB. At the main title screen, enter these numbers in sequence from either keypad. If you've entered a code successfully, you'll notice the @ symbol change color. Only one code can be used at a time 2-4-3-2-8 - Ultra-fast driving move. Watch the miles melt away! Everyone can experience a complete Tucson-to-Vegas drive in only minutes! 4-2-5-7-9 - Gallery mode. Press left and right to look at the various graphics in the game. Press 1-5 to change the music. 2-7-2-9-9 - Special secret "Crazy Bus" mode. Enhanced for Intellivoice! 3-5-2-7-4 - If you ever want to reset your saved Deserter Bus high scores, this is how you do it. Be careful, because this is permanent. You've been warned And I think I've mentioned this before, but if you press 8 at the mode select screen, the arrow will change. Desert/Arctic bus will be in a more classic, 80s style. You can use this mode along with the fast driving mode, if you like. Not even the testers got to see these cheats, so I hope someone gets a kick out of them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Ultra-Speed Mode is pretty insane, but you would have caught Cheaters even if you would have made it public earlier. The odometer shows slightly different number for the bugs in a clear pattern. But its interessting that the number when its getting night is the same.

Ignorama Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 @freewheel You mentioned a special screen if you complete the 33 days journey. Even I will not try to do this, so I wonder if you could share this screen with us, because I really would like to see it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot - I also put in a screen if you hit the max possible score in Deserter Bus - a Kill Screen, basically. I suppose you could say that the game is "broken".

freewheel Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 No better place to spam this than my own thread. I decided to stop being a luddite and started up on the Twitters.

Ignorama Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Its twitter and you have almost the account for 24 hours. Dude, the tweet-counter should be around 1k! Your followers want to know EVERYTHING. What do you eat? When do you eat? Why do you it it? How did it taste? Would you eat it again? You should do more eat and tweet (this time bad english by purpose to make a even worse pun) Edited January 24, 2018 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharonPDX Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Alright, he was so fast, I can already say it!I created a thread mentioning that I'll be participating in the "Extra Life" charity fundraiser. I decided to play "Desert Bus" because it seemed appropriate. So I ordered a couple copies (one to keep, one to give away) plus a ROM from him. Yesterday, it dawned on me that the drive from Portland to Vancouver (two of the cities involved in Extra Life group I'll be in,) are almost exactly as far apart as Tucson and Las Vegas (a drive I have also made many times.) So on a lark, I emailed him asking if I could get a slightly modified version of the game specifically for the streaming.He initially replied that he would be willing to, but that he was in the process of moving, and wasn't sure he would be able to get to his development system in time.Well, he went WAAAY above and beyond. He got it done within a couple hours of my request! So not only will I be playing Desert Bus, I'll be playing a custom one-off "Cascadia Edition" version of it. (Driving through green land with evergreen trees, rather than desert with saguaro cactus, with the cities being Portland to Vancouver rather than Tucson to Las Vegas.) (For comparison, here are the normal version screenshots:) And, yes, the default name of "Gregor" has meaning to the audience involved. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
