Night stalker! http://www.intellivisionlives.com/ Yes, I love these old but simple games, this is where I first learned to play and got addicted to these games as a kid in the early 80's, check out the URL if you are too young to have played these games. Anyway, for those of you who do know what it is, I was wondering how many points you have to get to win the game, once you reach 80K points I think it is you get to the invisible robot, I've gotten to him, and even destroyed him a few times, guess there's no way to check or anything, alter some of the code so he's visible? I was wondering if there is a way to code break source code, probably not cause people would have done it before, but suppose you have the line printf "This is a line of text" in basic, could you find out what it's machine code binary eqivalent is and do that with every other line/lines of text?

Heh. Astrosmash is fun... I can't remember how many hours I've lost to blowing up asteroids, bombs, missiles and UFOs...

On my 486 laptop, of course

Sea Battle! How I've missed you. This might be something I look into buying.

I had some good times playing Utopia until the wee hours of the morning with my friend Dan.

There was a game called "Wizards and Warriors" I think. It was two-player, one knight and one wizard. We got all the way to the end and couldnt kill the dragon, we never figured out what was wrong but I bet it was some bug. I mean , the dragon was there, it didnt kill us, and we couldnt kill it.

There's some other games I'm looking to play that I want to play, like Atlantis and Safecracker. Atlantis was cool too, remember that you had to the two guns you could fire at the ships, and your own ship in the middle that you could take off it and fight them in for a limited time, which replenished when you landed the ship.
I found something called Nostalgia which lets you play these old games, and it says you can now print out the controller overlays if you have an intellivision don't have to worry about losing them, but I'm looking for a USB intellivision controller if one exists.

I remember being completely dazzled by B-17 bomber and wishes I could have an Intellivision. But alas, we had no money.
