Atlantis, in all it's Imagic Goodness, comes to the INTV in a greatly improved version over it's VCS counterpart. (So it's time, yes for Why the INTV is better than the VCS, part 2!!!)

I also offer a Sealed Copy of the winner for this game, Good Luck!

medium difficulty
score = 34,200

medium difficulty
score =54,900

the game glitched out on me at this point (note the purple mass at the bottom of the screen endlessly sweeping to the right), freezing out any user input and effectively ending my game. I'd be curious to know if this is a kill-screen effect, or just poor luck.

What day was that at Akito?

I'm pretty sure that was going into day 13, or possibly 12. I'm trying to remember for certain, but it was definitely one of those two days.

[cparsley]

I thought I made it thru 2 weeks game time, but I could be mistaken.. I'll have to fire it up.

[Intymike]

After 14 days the game ends.

[AlvinKarpis]

I know this is not a strong showing, but I wanted to start getting some scores up, Im a pretty decent Atlantis player on the 2600, and I will become a decent player on the INTV version, just need to get some games under my belt

This is my second game, I played the game when I first got it, realized how amazing it was, then put it away to test my other 100 or so carts to make sure they work

I have been hooked on Tron Deadly Discs since I got my INTV, but Atlantis is a great game

I will post some better scores over the next couple days

[Akito01]

medium difficulty
score = 56,800

This is kinda bumming me out now. Pretty much exactly the same glitch, only this time the day seemed to start normally, except that no enemies appeared. I took out the UFO, fired off a few rounds. A few seconds of that and it gltiched and spat out the same big purple E.

It can't just be bad luck if I had the same thing happen at the same point in the game (but if there is an official ending to the game, it can't be a kill-screen either, can it?).

edit: I looked at the entry on Wikipedia, and apparently this is a known game killing glitch that occurs in most copies of the game at the start of day 12. Mystery more or less solved, it seems.

Funny you should mention Wikipedia, I am the one who wrote that portion in yesterday afternoon after yours and some YouTube evidence... I'm not 100% convinced until I do it myself, playing hard might be next to impossible to make 12-14 days however, best I've done is 11 on that difficulty.

[IntellivisionGuy97]

I'm not bad, but I'm not good. Needs some work. Does it have to be medium? I don't think the difficulty was exactly specifified... But I'll go with medium.

I believe the Lock 'n Chase game is on its way to me, but will let you know when it arrives - really looking forward to it. It's been a long while since I got a brand new sealed Intelli game!

[cparsley]

Ive got the BurgerTime one, but haven't taken it out of his boxing yet.... He does a great job packaging it to minimize damage (so kudos to him)

[IntellivisionGuy97]

Yeah.... I lose....

I'm guessing this HSC is closed now - any word on what the next game will be?

[JacobZu7zu7]

oops, forgot to try this one on emulator...

[cparsley]

It's not done, you got about 11 hours left... GET TO IT

[cparsley]

Score : 56,920
Game Ending : Day 12 (see note)



Day 12 started out normal, I got purple (but not as Akito did, it tried to creap out of the corners, the second that it did break the water line, I was able to shoot it and score. After 3 of them, the game inverted colors, but continued to play. This is from the afternoon session (dusk) and even recorded a little video from it)


After not being able to post it here, I'll put the video up on my site (hoping I got about 147MB of space available there, as never had this happen on Atlantis ever)

Damn it, can only do 10MB max on an upload there... Will try to figure something out to get it up...

[JacobZu7zu7]

score: 580

emulation controls

pretty cool version of Atlantis though nightime stopped me from day 3.
This seems like a tough game!

I would venture to say that the game moderator is the ultimate arbiter of the results. On the other hand, as the donor of the prize in question, distribution of that prize would likely be at your judgement and discretion. As someone with a vested interest in the outcome, it would probably be improper of me to say any more.
