IntyFanMatt Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Was on my way to 100K when the “green screen” glitch reared its ugly head. I recorded it so was able to take this snip from the video right before the glitch. 97,700 ORIGINAL HARDWARE Edited May 18, 2021 by IntyFanMatt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 You two are making me sick. Insane. And I’m over here proud of my 26k and talking about how slow it is...not a problem for you guys. And didn’t the instructions say that you only get an extra life if you’re below 4?! Maybe I read it wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 A lot of games weren't so honest about their game mechanics, kind of like one person was doing the manual while someone else totally was doing the programming LOL... Also, this glitch is sooo annoying LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hey FakeCortex... Found another lie for those instructions for you... I rolled the scoreboard tonight, was at about 124k when the game glitched crashed and then actually resetted back to the title screen so I couldn't get a pic. If I don't do better, will at least submit the roll picture showing rolled at 100k.. But, here's the change... You get a free frog at 100k err 0, but then NO MORE FREE FROGS rest of the game (granted that is just for the 120k, didn't go further so can't say for sure on 140k, 160k, 180k etc) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks to suck PB. Sorry about the glitch man. That's some fancy hoppin', gotta get that on tape (literally, with a vcr, haha). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace24 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Here’s a score for a participation point. Whoever mentioned the controller lag - I agree. It’s quite noticeable after playing Defender for a couple of weeks! Edited May 19, 2021 by Ace24 Forgot to upload the picture 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I only cleared the 4th board one time,and I have gone back many times to try to get through again to improve my score by 4,000 points or so. No luck so far,I an just happy I actually did it even once. Its freakin hard!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) I just had my PB on level 1 but it could’ve been so much bigger. Had 4 lives left when the green screen of death got me. Fortunately I have this one on video and took 2 pictures of the score right before it rolled over to zero at 100K, and then the final score right before the glitch. That glitch has to be the worst one in the entire Inty library!! 123,630 Original hardware Edited May 21, 2021 by IntyFanMatt 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gernot Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) I have only little time left. Here's the Frogger hack: Frogger (1983) (Parker Bros).7z Frogger ------- Following will be changed by the hacks: Number of life's/player and border color for the game to differ the hacks from the original. CHEATING IS FOR LAME BASTARDS! But there is no reason not to cheat as long as it's only for the fun of it or to get experienced and of course for examination it is unevideable, while for this game i suggest to play the "Lethal" hack it forces you most to play as good as you can with a single life. The "Arcade" hack simply reflects the default seeting for the Coin-Op "Frogger" it might be of most interest. To have 256 Lives which is even possible to set as "cheat" in the coin-op makes you waste frogs. Since it is quite easy to use the "game genie" in MAME the hacked versions aren't really needed here, especially not the Trainer it is possible to freeze life's or even the timebar of the game in MAME.

We are here to have competitive fun playing the Intellivision. Done using the Original Console or in Emulation. We do not look for ways to hack the games or system so we can get better scores. That's not considered fair competition as far as this site / forum is concerned. It's fun to experiment with this type of thing, but within the HSC it's not encouraged for competition. Scores submitted that are hacked will be disqualified. You might have more luck in the Intellivision Programming forum. ? Cheers! ?

cparsley Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Rickster, while I agree on your points, knowing it's out there is a positive thing so we can be on the lookout for the alternate color borders to distinguish, and for that, I thank you Gernot for doing so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hacks/cheats can be used for practice, that's not a problem. Gernot's hack is specifically designed so it can't be used for cheating since it changes the colour. But if someone really wants to cheat here there's no way to know, we're on the honour system.
