Well make sure you post details if you do re-release Minehunter. I missed out last time.

Seriously?!!! That's awesome news. Are you talking about a re-release of the original or a new Super Space Patrol? Maybe I need to go to Vegas.....

My hope is to release a significantly upgraded Space Patrol for CGE. I also have some original edition copies that I couldn't sell before (I ran out of boards, but I still have boxes) that I will also make available for folks that want both. If I don't have the upgraded version complete by CGE, I'll still probably be in a position to give a demo of where I'm at and start taking down a list of who's interested. I definitely think everyone will like what I have in store.

So will this Space patrol be only available at CGE? or will you have some available after the event for those os us unable to get there?

When I say "for CGE", I mean simply "in time for CGE." I'm using it as a deadline to have everything ready, and will make available what I can after the event. I'm not limiting myself to the folks who can make it to CGE. :-)

Sweet

That Space Patrol looks great!

[Games For Your Intellivision]

Elektronite will re-publish Minehunter as soon as the contract is approved. We are working on the packaging as we have a verbal agreement with Ryan.

If you go to CGE you will hopefully be able to purchase, D2K Arcade, Minehunter, Super Space Patrol, and Christmas Carol and hopefully one other big release all at the same table.

Don't worry for people who don't go, the games will be available mail order.

Man, the Intellivision scene is dead Vprette, can't you come up with a better title? Minehunter has already been done, Moon Patrol is old and done already. Super Pro. Right. It should be called Super Old. Do we really need more releases of the same old games? Is ANYONE doing ANYTHING new? When is that Carol game coming out? At least that is new but I have been waiting over a year now for it. I doubt it will ever release

The Intellivision needs NEW and FUN games. Not old and take my money. I trust in you Vprette. Make it big!!!

That "Carol game" is coming out soon. I'm sorry for all the delays, I know I promised it a long time ago, but as you said in another thread, this is a hobby. The game is indeed coming out, and I promise it'll be "NEW and FUN."

There are others working to keeping it alive, too.

And just so you know, Christmas Carol would not be possible if not for the help of many people, key of them is Joe Zbiciak (intvnut).

I appreciate your enthusiasm for new games, and I promise you that they're coming; but please, always consider this: making video games is very hard. It is doubly so when you need to balance it with the rest of your life, family, and other interests.

All Intellivision programmers want to make original games, but life has a tendency of getting in the way, no matter how passionate you are. Sometimes, making a sequel to a game, or enhancing a previous version is our way of keeping the platform fresh and alive rather than making the community wait another decade for that perfect game.

It also gives the chance to newcomers to get their hands on home-brewed games (I know I missed the boat on 4-Tris and Space Patrol, and I'm looking forward to their re-release).

Cheers!

Thanks for keeping it real dZ!

I hope you are not going to use Elektronite to release your game. It seems like you are doing a kick butt job all on your own.

Hey, aren't you hooked up with Joe? Have him take care of your with 4-Tris and Space Patrol

[JasonlikesINTV]

How cool is this thread? Where to begin...first of all, I love overlays! Even if just for show (no usable keypad buttons). I'm considering buying a baseball card book and making it an overlay collection book, keeping a copy or two of all I can gather. Always overlays. Secondly, with respect to home brews, I would love to have Space Patrol, Minehunter, Stonix, D2K Arcade, and 4-Tris. They are high on my collect list and I would consider newer enhanced versions, especially around the $50 range, rather than double or more. What else, if anyone wants to enhance an older game...SIMULTANEOUS TWO PLAYER WORM WHOMPER. Or River Raid. Or, have 2nd player be different and have different weapons (SuperMarioBros2?). Would also like to see a new Activision-like game with fast-pace play. I love the acceleration on WW.

Vprette, maybe you could release 4-Tris? People still want it. What about doing Stonix also? You would be completing this list.

4-Tris is Joe's game, you should be asking "intvnut" for it.

Someone should also re-release 4tris and stonix, I agree!

There alot of new INTV gamers out there now, there is nothing wrong with bringing them out again.

There are NEW games on the way as well, so it dont matter that if they were released before. No one should complain that they are re-released, if they already own them then dont buy them. And if they are a hardcore collector and dont want to spend the money, then tough. But if they HAVE to have EVERYTHING then get a second job or sell a kidney.

Agree wholeheartedly that a re-release of 4-tris and Stonix is a virtual necessity.

Hey, speaking of that....you never did post pics of your ENTIRE collection!

[Games For Your Intellivision]

I think that Stonix is probably up to Arnauld and/or 'Intelligentvision' to decide if it should be re-released.

Stonix, of the 'Intelligentvision' original releases, I think got the most units out there at around 250.

The author of Minehunter has gone with us to do a re-release, because he wants to see people able to buy his game again. I forget the actual number of units it sold, but I think it was around 150.

'Collectors' shouldn't fear the re-release of a title. Minehunter for example, being re-released will drop the price being asked for the 'Intelligentvision' release. Anyone who compulsivley collects 'variations' will certainly be able to pick up a copy of the original cheaper when new copies are available.

Sometimes, this may or may not be true...take action figures for example (gi joe or transformersfrom the 80's) The original releases still command a high price even when they have been re-issued to death over the years......But time will tell if the original 4 Intelligentvision releases hold their value or not......but hey, its not all about the value, its about the gameplay! Sometimes we all get too caught up in what stuff is worth....I know I do....

What do you mean by gameplay? If we want to just play the games, wouldn't we just play them on an emulator? Why buy carts? Hell, I should just play the original games on an arcade emulator.

I guess Intellivision emulation will not be an option since the ROMs aren't going to be available. I wonder why that is. Any ideas?
