Illtiger1 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hope everyone is well. Just wondering what everyone's top 3 favorite INTV games and 3 hidden gems that you feel are great games, but are often overlooked. Really getting back into enjoying INTV again the last year or so now that my kids are getting a bit older. Going to fire up the INVT tonight for the first time in a month or so and am always looking to add better games to my modest collection. Thank you.

Sinjinhawke Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Donkey Kong, Carnival and Pole Position. All gems that should be buried. Top 3 change but right now it’s AD&D Cloudy Mountain, Space Battle and Dreadnaught. Actual gems are Mouse Trap, Venture and PAC-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illtiger1 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Lately my top 3 have been: Diner Frog Bog AD&D Cloudy Mountain Hidden gems: Q Bert Thin Ice Tropical Trouble I picked up Worm Womper a couple years ago and really enjoy it as well. Looks like I may need to pick up Beamrider, White Water (Imagic is typically great), and Dreadnaught Factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Beamrider is a great game. I enjoy it on 2600, Intellivision and Atari computer. Though I find the missile firing trickier on the Atari's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hidden gems include Dreadnaught Factor, Thunder Castle, Sea Battle. Sea Battle might stay hidden to most people because it's a two player only game. The other two were hidden for me because I didn't even know about them until the 1990s. Other favourites include AD&D, Deadly Discs, NBA Basketball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm.. it's my opinion... you're entitled to yours... It's a fun port of an arcade game. Not an original... so compared to some of the other ports that were shit.. Burgertime! was a well polished hidden gem... in my opinion. Edited July 3, 2020 by IMBerzerk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree it’s a well polished game and a very good one, and it’s known as one of the best, if not THE best game, on the entire system. I picked it in my top 3. I don’t disagree with you there but I think you may have missed my point. What I’m saying is that just about everyone here knows it very well, especially within the Intellivision community, and it’s regularly found at the top of many “best Intellivision games” lists. So therefore it isn’t “hidden”. That’s my point. Edited July 3, 2020 by IntyFanMatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayXambeR Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 3 Favorites: Shark! Shark! Utopia Dracula 3 Hidden Gems: Pinball Skiing Night Stalker 3 Great Homebrews: Stonix Super Space Patrol Maria But there is more great and fun games than this short list! (thunder castle, AD&D, venture, frog bog, world cup soccer, demon attack (the 6 second alternative game mode is excellent!), sydney hunter sacred tribe, etc.). What a great system it was (it is!) Too difficult to just extract 3 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
