Pitfall! for iOS

<< < (4/4)

DaveMMR:
I actually just bought an Intellivison (II model) with 40 games, computer module and voice synthesizer for $25 off of Craigslist. I'm just starting to get used to the disc controller (I grew up with Colecovision) but I'm having fun with it.  Pitfall was pretty good and despite my aforementioned controller issues, I was able to do fairly well. Burgertime was a bit weird (the mazes were nothing like the arcade). Hopefully this week I can try out the rest.

No, just had the one unfortunately.

I can't remember what # level in Burgertime but it kicks my butt every time. I can go in with 5 or 6 guys and never beat it.  Very frustrating.

I prefer the original to the II because of the keypad.  The raised buttons on the original v. the membrane feel on the II just feels better and its much easier (IMO) to use without looking at the keys.  I guess it's what people are used to though.  Chad is actually selling a II in B/S/T that I am trying to resist purchasing.

Its worth getting.  I dont  have an extra or I'd send it to you.  It tries to be 3D, has multiple levels and is more in depth than the first one.  It's a favorite of mine.

When I brought it home, the controllers felt like they were broken.  The buttons didn't move when I pressed them.  But nope, all fine. Not used to the membrane keypad at all. I also heard the II had some compatibility problems with Coleco games (don't have any to try.)  All the same, if I see the original Intellivision for a reasonable price, I'll pick that one up and put the II on the shelf.
