IntyFanMatt Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 If there was a list of great Intellivision sounds, the sound of a plough ball would have to be in the top 10. So cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 My 4th Worm Whomper Entry: A little more improvement. Unfortunately my game ended because I had some difficulty getting a new pesticide gun from the shed. Apparently you have to be at the very bottom of the screen to get it. I evidently wasn't low enough and Felton croaked because of it....? SORRY DUDE..... ?

jimblargh Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 66,555 snail puddles for me!? This game really makes me appreciate the autofire feature in Astrosmash. On the plus side I finally found a game that the intellivision 2 controller is better for! Those non-clicky side buttons are much easier to keep pressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those non-clicky side buttons are much easier to keep pressed. Wait a minute. Did you just say the side buttons on the Inty II are easier to press than the usual Inty controller on a 2609??? Dude I recently got an Inty II and the side buttons on those controllers are like pushing against CEMENT!!!!! They don't move AT ALL!!! I can't even push them in once... I'd have to be Lou Friggin Ferigno to move them even once. Maybe it's just this one set I have, but they are HORRIBLE!!!! I switched them out for Flashback controllers....... HUZZAH!!!!! Edited May 21, 2022 by Rickster8 Because of Mike the Knight.... :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Yeah I’m a bit surprised to hear that as well…Normally the Intellivision 2 is known for horrible side buttons and bad overall design. Original 2609 and Flashback controllers typically are much better. But I agree this game SCREAMS for an auto-fire feature!!
