It was suggested I update my Intellivision want list. Here goes, along with my begging for forgiveness from my wife for jumping a gun. No funny links here, I just want to... to talk to everyone about what the 8 year old boy that's forever the core of my being wants.
Armor Battle: It was called armor ambush on the 2600. Not... not high priority. I think when Rich and I had it on the 2600 we played it twice. Sorry Mom, sorry Dad... it just didn't hit us.
Astrosmash: Why the heck don't I have this yet? It's not that it's fantastically great, but it's THE signature Mattel game. I mean I WANt it.. but I don't wanna pay a lot for it.
Beamrider: This is better than the arcade. What the heck, how did that happen? I remember a Christmas when my brother and I received a pile of "crap" Epyx games.. Street Sport Basketball, White Tiger, and some helicopter game. This reminds me of that Christmas and I don't know WHY!
Body Slam: Super Pro Wrestling: it's about on par with the second Smackdown on the PS1. That's not a bad thing, especially considering not a single developer of that game is older than this game.
Buzz Bomber: Y'know.. I won't throw it out of bed but... I'd throw a paper bag over it's head. Extra super plus craptacular is how the music stops every time any other sound effect goes on.
Championship Tennis: Barb and I enjoy the more worthless lesser tennis games on the system. No videos of it because people aren't gay enough to have played this game, apparently.
Chip Shot Super Pro Golf: I want it. Shut up.
Commando: Good luck finding it for less than $100. It might be better than the C-64 version. Emulation's... spotty, but it looks and feels promising. It almost HURTS to admit a version might be superior to the C64. Can't say for sure since the emulation can;t make it work right.. but...
Defender: The best classic system version, even better than the 5200... simply because it's easier but still pretty.
Dig Dug: My talent at this game got me into games in the first place. Shame the Inty version's so expensive.
Diner: Fun times. The more I play this on emulation the more I love it. It's the sequel to Burgertime, and one of the rare improved sequels.
Donkey Kong Jr.: I enjoy this game but.. money.. it tends to cost too much. On actual hardware the legs flicker correctly, not randomly vanish.
Dragonfire: If it's cheap.
Dreadnaught Factor: Was originally supposed to be a Star Wars game about the brave A-wing pilot who rammed the Executor. I salute him, and I salute this game.
Hover Force: Everyone hates this game. It's not the most exciting thing, but it manages to sustain a constant low level of interest. There's no up and down peak. A technical achievement to be sure, and one I want to have for lazy afternoons.
Ice Trek: It's pretty, very pretty, but not high priority. The guy in the video sucks at this game!
Motocross: Racing Destruction set. 'nuff said. Gimme gimme! No video, oddly, so have one of Racing Destruction Set instead. Same engine, only cars instead.
Nova Blast: Can't even get emulation to work. I hear good things? The video makes it look REALLY good.
PGA Golf: The other golf game's a lot better, but this still ain't garbage. Okay, I lied. It is.
Pac-Man: PLEASE. it even has the interludes.
Pinball: Remember how much I love Alien Crush? This is it without music.
Pitfall: Identical to the 2600. Get if cheap.
Popeye: I like the game.
Q-Bert: My wife will rape me.. but so what? It's fun to lose a fun game.
Royal Dealer: Whacky card games, nothing standard here. Others recommend it to me HEAVILY as a good game to pass time in the sticks... so I'm putting it here. No video. Weird.
River Raid: Everyone knows how I feel about this game. I currently am 4 places from "best in the world" at the 2600 version. In this one you can actually fly over the riverbanks!
Safecracker: Another that won't work for emulation but I hear good things about. No videos.
Shark Shark: Nakedly put, I hate that I don't already own this. Barb and I would play this forever.
Slam Dunk Super Pro Basketball: In depth sim.
Slap Shot: Super Pro Hockey: Plenty dump on this. I'd put it up in my top 20. Maybe I'm just too forgiving of Hockey. The video is someone's actual VHS from 1986.
Space Patrol: It's Moon Patrol, which I adore.. but so so so hard to find.
Spiker Super Pro Volleyball: I'm shocked. A fun volleyball game that's not on the Turbografx!
Stampede: I know my wife hates the game, but I like it.. and this is better than the 2600 version.
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back: Shut the heck up. I like it. Video nearly unrelated, al things considered. Dude's got it hooked up wrong, wrong ratio... doesn't play..
Super Pro Football: This is greater than many PS2 football games. Cant find a video.
Swords and Serpents: Literally while writing this entry, I saw it for a great price and pounced. Turns out the game's worth about five times what I pounced on, so I don't feel bad at all. I just can't figure out who will be the wizard and who the warrior. No video.
Thin Ice: It's Winter Olympics themed. Can't find a video of this on real hardware, just that crappy NES on a chip plug and play.
Thunder Castle: Y'know what? Only if it's cheap. Pretty, but not really fun. The dude doing the video is an idiot.
Tower of Doom: I'd trade my carbine to have this game. Shut up.
Tron Solar Sailer and Maze-A-Tron: I love Tron. I love Tron a lot. These games suck, but I love Tron anyway. No video because.. you don't wanna see them.
Tropical Trouble: Beauty and the Beast's Sequel. Too expensive. Don't care.
Truckin': I like trucking games- YO DAWG this is Kanye West. I'mma let you finish but I wanted to say dat dis is one of the top tier; of all time. OF ALL TIME.
White Water: None too shabby. but.. coupla bucks at most.
Worm Whomper: Good midgrade fun. Probably will have good competitive appeal with the wife and I.
And.... a bonus game!
