Best Intellivision game?

[ubersaurus]

What is everyone's idea of the best intellivision games, released, homebrew, unreleased, whatever. My personal favs would go for Beamrider, Frog Bog, Pac-Man, and Diner. What of other people?

1. Burgertime...ahh sweet sweet burgertime

2. Astroblast, what a classic, deducting from your score for mistakes!

3. Beauty and the Beast.. why?? Cuz like i posted way back before, the beast LOOKS LIKE RONALD REAGAN!!

1) Auto Racing (fun with 2 players)

2) Burgertime

3) Loco-Motion (great puzzle game)

 

I've also heard Utopia is really cool (like an early Sim game), but I just recently got the manual and haven't had time to learn it yet.

Dracula, Masters of the Universe, Star Srike.

Happy Trails--very similar to Locomotion, though I haven't played the Intellivision version.

 

Horse Racing--love to handicap the races.

 

Utopia--great with two players. A simplified cross of Sim City and Civilization.

 

Dracula--I just like biting people and watching them turn into numbers.

UTOPIA was the greatest! My brothers hated me because that was the only game I wanted to play. I think that is the game that got me hooked on RTS games like Command & Conquer, Homeworld and Star Wars Galatic Battlegrounds

I hate to say this on an Atari Message Board, but, the Intellivision also had a lot of great games!

I completely agree with you on these two

 

 

 

SafeCracker..anyone else remember this? great fun.

 

He-Man: Masters of the Universe..it was fun and graphically I thought it was good at the time.

 

Back in the day, I could kick butt with the Inty's controllers, but, now I suck

I mean as a kid I LOVED those controllers, what the heck was I thinking?

Robot Ruddle - what a nice name for a game

 

Anyway, I LOVE tron- Solar Sailer - bags of atmosphere and fantastic speech.

it's just about the only reason I still have the Intellivision.

gah!! I quoted MYSELF!! I wish you could still delete posts

Safecracker has a steep learning curve. And I have the overlays and instructions as well (in six different languages!) I can't imagine anyone figuring out this game on his own.

 

Imagic really made some interesting games for the Intellivision.

 

But it is fun, once you put a lot of time into it--which seems to apply to a lot of Intellivision games.

The only game that held my attention on the Intellivision Lives emulation disc was Shark! A good degree of skill was required to succeed at this tough game.

 

You're a little fish who can only eat species that are smaller than you. After you eat a predetermined amount, you grow thus enabling you to eat larger species. The shark could be defeated by gently eating away at his tail, but he had a nasty tendency to turn quickly, resulting in death for your helpless little fish. I liked that game and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it thus far.

that games num 4 on my list.. i love pestering the shark by nipping his tail until he dies

If it's the game I'm thinking of, Auto Racer was my favorite...overhead view, 2 player, if one person got ahead too far it would start fresh from the point of the leader and the loser would lose time/points? The 8-bit Atari had a very similiar game called Rally Speedway I think, loved it too...actually I liked the Atari one better 'cause you had real joysticks . Great INTV game though!!!

not a huge 'inty' fan, but Auto Racing was way ahead of its time, great 2 player game. My all-time fave would be Star Strike because it was a rip of the Star Wars trench battle, the only thing like it on home consoles at the time, great fun!

 

as always,

Demon Attack. At least it had the last board. At least I think it did. I have so many damn systems that I get confused sometimes.

I had to learn how to use them not too long ago, but now I kinda like them. I must say, Robot Rubble is really sweet, the final version of it anyhow. I play it all the time on my intellicart.
