JacobZu7zu7 Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 Important: Before shooting targets, "MUTE" the Carnival music by hitting that note on the far right side of screen. The game will become 100% more enjoyable on mute lol. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace24 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This is the first contest game so far that I don’t have. I like Carnival a lot on Colecovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be the best version of Carnival, but it's still Carnival and quite fun. You just have to work around the glitches and movement issues. Certainly not nearly to the level of The Game That Shall Not Be Named. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I love the error buzz if you have the audacity to try and start a game with the disc. Gotta love that user friendly interface, as if the developers wanted to be very clear in their message: "You're not playing on a ColecoVision, fuck you." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gezkc Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Jeez, you really have to keep your eye on your remaining bullets. If you're still moving your gun before you realise the game's finished, it takes you straight to the player select screen and you miss the chance to see your final score! I guess that's why they had to stick this warning in the instruction manual: Caution: Pressing the Disc immediately after a game resets the game and returns you to the Game Option screen. Why did they even bother porting these games to the Intellivision? It's like they want us to hate them! ?

Why did they even bother porting these games to the Intellivision? It's like they want us to hate them! ? I noticed that part in the manual too! I read it and thought, if they need to put a caution in there, can't they just program it differently? I like games that only return to the title screen when you press a specific keypad button. There's 12 of them there, take advantage! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Looks like coleco had no play testing or quality control. Cartridges go for manufacturing, which was a big investment, a month or two process. They are not going to throw all that out (not even for intellivision II incompatiblity), so they address issues like this in the instructions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll also explain why they had to put this warning in the manual too!

As if that weren't bad enough, it'll also buzz at you for restarting the game with the disc instead of a button.

BiffMan Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Any suggestions on how to control this sucker? My biggest stumbling block is inability to do small moves to line up on the edges of the pipe wheel. If I'm off by a tiny amount, I can't move a tiny amount to get on target, I have to do big movements and just hope it comes back in the correct spot. Using jzintv and have tried with both Flashback controller and keyboard, both seem the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using jzintv and have tried with both Flashback controller and keyboard, both seem the same. I just swing/tap and hope for best, when situated on right or left side of the wheel. Just tap once left or right, let go, shoot ... and hope it hits the pipe wheel. If not rise and repeat same ... that's the best I got. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
