My first, intellivoice module... hooked it up, and played Tron Solar Sailer. Cool game!
I read some bad things about this game, but I'm pleased to disagree. I had a blast.

Only things that can be a problem, are listening to the code, and writting it down at same time, sometimes results in an error.

I also sometimes have a hard time shooting those red tanks. It even appears my fire, goes
right through them, anyone else notice that?? :ponder:

Is it wise to shoot both the blue bugs and the tanks, both reward points to your score, but doesnt that drain energy?
I try to avoid shooting too often... any tips here?

My top score (so far) is a LITTLE over 18,000.

B-17 Bomber is my favorite Intellivoice game - the Southern accent is too cool. Congrats

Thanks, yeah I heard B-17 Bomber's southern voice. Took me by surprise, didn't expect that.
Lots of different voices on this module... cool indeed.

B-17 Bomber's a cool game, just got to read the manual more so I can play it correctly.

Don't forget World Series Major League Baseball.
Complete play by play.

I don't know how much speech was in space c_nt? But I wouldn't count that one anyway.

More games would have been nice.

We still have time to make more! I am still pushing for Parsec.

Yeah,Intellivoice games are loads of fun.One that really makes me laugh is the voice in B-17 Bomber,the way it says BOMBER,instead of saying it like bom(mer),it pronounces the 2nd B, bom(ber),iirc.

I just gave one of those away with 3 games last month. Those things have a funny way of piling up sometimes.

Y, it was released too close to the crash, I guess. Makes me wonder if anyone is doing any home brewing for Intellivision and what are the possibilities of new and inventive Intellivoice home releases?

What a great game, was also good for more than 1 player "co-op" play since both controllers worked. Another great game that set Intellivision apart.


P.S.
Uh oh, that was not a target
