Bamse Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I don't have a preference for games but I do think it shouldn't be any of the games we played last season. Jason's suggestions look good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Yeah few or no picks from last seasons, game line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I think there are plenty of games to choose from without repeating any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 It would be cool if we could include a homebrew, but it would have to be something common and/or cheap. Something with a free ROM, maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I was thinking the same. As long as its a freely available rom then I can't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm fairly new to this site (and a massive Inty fan) and would love to participate, if possible. Only problem is that I don't have 4 of the games on Jason's list...if that turns out to be the final list. I have 60 carts, but missing several less common ones and also don't use an emulator. Is it ok to participate on some of the games from time to time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Emulating on your computer is still an option, assuming you don't have a flash-cart. All the games on Jason's list can be played with a modern controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used emulators in the past for other systems, but I just don’t think I want to get into all of that with the Intellivision. I love playing on original hardware with the original controllers, and I think it would be too confusing for me otherwise. I am in the market for an LTO Flash though, but it looks like Joe is currently out of stock on his site and I never see them on eBay. One of these days I’ll get one!

I used to have exactly the same opinion as you regarding emulation but they have come a long way and I have a flashback controller which I use with my laptop so it even feels the same. like you also, I agree there is nothing like playing on the real thing and I have an LTO Flashcart. The single best thing I have bought foe my intellivision. I believe Joe is planning another run of them so hopefully you'll get one soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Using the original controller is the way to play these games. And using an intellivision controller with your computer is also an option with a usb adapter. Edit: And there's no rules here with controllers. Some have used third party controllers with their intellivisions. Edited August 13, 2019 by mr_me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like Joe is planning to release some more LTOs soon, so I’ll see how that goes first. I really want to play all the amazing homebrews so badly, so I hope I don’t miss out!

S.BAZ Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Great! here's my picks: Adventures of Tron Congo Bongo Defender Dragonfire Pinball Skiing Stampede Super Cobra Turbo Homebrews (any - maybe a few during the season) Unusual picks: Baseball Body Slam Chess to second some of Jason's picks: Beamrider Dig Dug Shark! Shark! Worm Whomper Diner Shark! Shark! and Worm Whomper are two of my favorites x) I'm up to 90 games now, unfortunately no flash-cart, I can't afford those! But looking forward to hopefully playing most of these on the ole' INTY! I got a cheap Intellivision II at PRGE a few years back, so it's gonna be time to give that a try too... Rock on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Championship Baseball largest margin of victory. Don't know much about Body Slam. For really unusual how about League of Light? I hope games such as Space Battle, Sub Hunt, AD&D, PGA Golf, Auto Racing, Skiing, Snafu, and Spiker get considered. And it's probably time Dreadnaught Factor gets its turn.

Dreadnaught Factor is an awesome game, would love to play that! I would also vote for one of my all time favs...Thunder Castle. Looks like that hasn’t been played in the HSC for a long time.

Bamse Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Dreadnaught is a great game however people playing on Pal hardware would be able to join in on that games. They could play it in emulation though 20 hours ago, IntyFanMatt said: You can play as much or as little as you like.

mr_me Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) A pal hack for dreadnaught factor has been around a while. Last year they distributed cartridges. Pal/secam intellivisions shouldn't compete against ntsc intellivisions anyway since they run most cartridges at a lower speed. If you emulate dreadnaught factor it can be played with any controller.

Bamse Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Most games run around 18 percent alower on Pal due to it being 50 hertz. Some actually run faster such as Old School. In reality, I think the speed difference is negligible. I play a lot in both emulation and on Pal hardware and I can't tell the difference. If I ran them side by side I might but individually no. For instance, I'm not too shabby at Lock n chase, a game that is all about timing. I'm not effected by changing from playing disc speed on my laptop or on the real hardware but changing the difficulty level of the game, does mess up my timing until I adjust to it.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Adventures of Tron Sub Hunt Skiing Golf Dreadnaught Factor Stampede I like all of these options as well. I haven't really done a deep dive on any of them, but HSC is the perfect way to really get to know a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
