+cvga Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It wasn't too long ago that my youngest son and I were playing our Intellivision with games like B-17 Bomber and Bomb Squad. Recently we were playing TNT Cowboy and Anthropomorphic Force (AF). I didn't realize that AF can use the Intellivoice until just a couple of days ago. We wanted to test it out but I can't find the Intellivoice! I've looked all over but it hasn't turned up. May have to go to eBay to pick up another (I'm sure I'll find it then). Ugh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Luckily they're pretty easy to find and not too expensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I've looked long enough and in all of the places I thought it might be hiding. The good news is that I went ahead and bought another one on eBay. I should have more good news in a day or two as I'm sure my original one will come out of hiding now that another is on the way ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I know this is the most boring story ever but the missing Intellivoice took an unexpected turn last night. I've been going through some boxes of video game stuff I haven't looked at since we moved to this house almost 15 years ago and found my spare Intellivoice in a box of extra controllers. I didn't even recall that I had a spare Intellivoice. This all started because I found out that AF "talks". I had to chance to play and was excited to see what it says. I think it says things like "shields", "power up" and "barrier" when you pick up the blocks that sometimes appear after shooting an enemy. Very cool game like all of the KAI Magazine games. I'm playing TNT Cowboy now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently I had inadvertently set him in a box with a bunch of spare carts and put it into our storage area. Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help look for him. I'll be taking down the "missing" posters that I put up around town over the next couple of days. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Glad everything worked out in the end! Out of curiosity, what is considered to be the best Intellivoice game? And have any modern homebrews made better use of sampling to produce, er, more intelligible speech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son and I liked Bomb Squad the best although I should probably give Space Spartans another shot at some point. I also need to hook up the ECS and play World Series MLB. I haven't done that in over 20 years. I have a couple of homebrews that use the Intellivoice that I haven't played yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthompson Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The voice in Hover Bovver is excellent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I don't know about homebrews as I don't own any. But as far as the original Intv games with voice support .. Bomb Squad offers the best use of voice. Without it, there is no playing the game at all. Plus they did a nice job. Space Spartans is a close second 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be taking down the "missing" posters that I put up around town over the next couple of days. Looking for any random video game item does a couple of great things for me: I usually DO find it somewhere in my massive amount of video game stuff from A-Z and system to system.? It helps me keep everything more organized so I hopefully never have to move everything to find an item again. Its fun,but pretty exhausting!? Lastly,I always come across some other cool video games items I should use more,and other great items I forgot about completely. That's the best thing of looking for a misplaced item,is finding and replaying old games and systems. So,yes I try to keep everything very organized,and it looks way better that way too!? And I am glad you found your intellivoice,and probably some other fun stuff while you were looking for it.?
