By the way, would you be interested in re-tracking the song using the Intellivision Music Tracker, and having a nice multi-channel remix, complete with cool drum and percussion sounds, for the title screen? I could help with that, if you are interested. :) -dZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I just did it "karaoke-style" with the letters changing colors. Yes, I am very much interested in testing a re-tracked song with all the bells and whistles! Thanks for the offer! I haven't had a chance to include any voices, but I will aim to have those included as well. Edited June 26, 2021 by cmadruga 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Also, to those wondering about the name and account combination entered in the video, those were originally generated by someone playing on the C64. The account system for this Intellivision version is compatible with other platforms. Only exceptions should be the CPC and Spectrum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to do something about that title screen logo if you want to match this masterpiece: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I am certain the game will be programmed way better than the other limited release,and hopefully this improved version will have a completely different box as well. For collecting purposes and to have its owe identity as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The current music is a quick and dirty conversion from Russell Lieblich's version on the C64. In order to save space, I even cut it prematurely to have something for cmadruga to insert during development. If you have use of it, I can supply either raw SID2MIDI or adapted IntyBASIC syntax for further converting to the more advanced tracker, unless someone wants to re-track it from scratch.

First Intellivision game in a Neogeo cartridge with a intellivision cartridge connector extension confirmed. Neogeo games were about 500 dollars back then(I think.). JK This game is looking great!

The IntyBASIC would work. I have a script to convert it to the Intellivision Music Tracker format, from which I can then define instruments, re-arrange patterns, and remix as necessary. Personally, I don’t want to track it from scratch, and I do not need to: with the notes of the melody extracted into patterns, I can then change them as needed. That’s how I did the “Beat It” rendition a few months ago. I just suck at playing music by ear, but I’m rather good at production, arranging and remixing. dZ.

bikeguychicago Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Looking forward to this one. I haven't played GB since I got rid of my PCjr years ago. The Apple II version running on my IIGS would seem like a step down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that the implementation is done. Someone had found a different video and between a few of us, we reversed engineered some source code posted for an online account number generator and @cmadruga built an IntyBASIC function for it. dZ.

+DZ-Jay Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Correction, it was the same video. There were a few steps missing in the description, which is why we had to reverse engineer the generator code. Here is the thread: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmadruga Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Well, given the last ones were in 2018 and 2020, there's hope for one in 2022. BTW, it would be great if the restriction to bank switching could be lifted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
