What game are you best at on Intellivision ?

Recommended Posts

I know some people on here are great at almost every game they play . Sadly I am not one of them .

I was curious if you had to pick one game to play that you think you could win at ,what would it be?

Mine would have to be Skiing Back in the day I would of said Baseball but i am long past my prime now .

Bi Planes is also on top of the list that i am good at .

Was playing Venture the other day on "hard" (Skill #4) and turned the system off before too long, was getting *that* bored beating level after level. lmao

 

Still pretty good at Baseball, but do find myself getting tripped up when fielding or throwing to the correct base these days. :mad:

I was used to score about 31,000 points at Ice Trek, and I think I was pretty good at it.

 

I've read somewhere that an easter egg appears on the ice castle level if you score at least 32,000 points, so I've never been able to see it. Did anyone?

 

I am also good at Cloudy Mountain and Treasure of Tarmin

BITD... Baseball, Football, Astrosmash, Auto Racing, Bump n Jump.... Pretty good at Soccer, Basketball and Pinball

 

Now...Auto racing Yeah, that will just about cover it!

 

I Played Christmas Carrol last night. Level 7 around 700 points. I thought I was bad last year. I do plan to play a few more times before the 25th.

 

Oh Bowling. I can still get a 300 pretty often and over 100 in pickup spares.

 

Maybe I need to get into the HSC more often.

I liked locomotion but I was never good at it.

I know happy trails is similar, but I cannot remember playing it?

 

I need to try this game again. Could help to keep the mind sharp. It is the hand eye that could be the problem.

Anyone else for Utopia! :grin: I used to play the crap out of this but don't have a playing partner anymore.

 

I also loved Auto Racing, Space Battle and Astrosmash, but fast forward to now and I would say 4-Tris is a big fav' I play well.

I guess I'd say Space Battle and Demon Attack. Probably add Auto Racing and B-17 Bomber in there, but it's been a while.

 

Last time I played Space Battle, I actually couldn't lose. I probably just didn't play long enough, but I got bored and stopped. Ditto for Demon Attack. These are fairly simple games so it's not like I play for 12 hours straight, but I can play both for long enough that I just lose interest long before I lose the game.

 

Auto Racing I haven't really played seriously since I was a kid, but in general I'm still pretty good at driving games and I do remember knowing all the tricks in that game to the point that it was boring - just no challenge at all. I don't remember which steering version I had as a kid, though; maybe the one I *didn't* have would be harder. The funny thing was this was pre-internet and before even any games magazines or anything; I learned all the shortcuts and exploits completely through trial and error (including the straight line you could take all the way around the world). And I was really good at the actual driving too.

 

Same with B-17... I'd play a single game for hours. Haven't done that for a long time either, but I'm sure I could pick it up again.

Oh now you guys are listing *several* games you're good at. Okay, another I find myself doing pretty well at would be Pinball. :)

When I was younger everyone in my family hated playing me in SharkShark and Biplanes. Now, I feel hopelessly inadequate in most of the games I play.

I may be better at Championship Tennis and Tower of Doom than anyone else in the world. :D

And Sewer Sam? :)

It struck me that many of us think we're unbeatable at Baseball which makes me think we need to organize an Inty baseball tourney at PRGE 2017. Discuss.

I'm not the player I use to be. My best time at Intellivision downhill skiing was 34.4s. I remember as a child, it was hard to get under 35, and then I got 34.6 and then I was surprised to get 34.4. Just curious if a better time is possible?

I used to be the best Christmas Carol player, and I had the highest score evah! And then... I released the game and others played it. :lol:

Ha, probably! But if we ever have a HSC in the game, I'm happy to share my strategies and will no doubt soon be surpassed.

 

In Championship Tennis, OTOH, I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long tennis career.

For Me it's any maze game - but I guess it all depends on which game I'm playing at the time.

 

Never been good at sliding puzzle games. Happy Trails and LocoMotion are pretty frustrating for me. Lol
