- Hello, my name is Mr. Official. I am the Official Man. This channel on this popular video sharing website will provide the world with the official word on the best of the best. I have been given the power, by birthright and deed, to be the ultimate authority on what is the best of the best. This series will mostly focus on entertainment in it's various forms and will provide the final word on what is number one. Top 10 lists have exsisted for years. Everybody has an opinion and that's just great. If your personal opinion doesn't match what is presented on the Official Top 10 then you are wrong. It's ok to be wrong, you just have to learn from it and grow. Always be the best you can be because YOU can only get MORE fantastic.
At first I thought it was an old commercial playing in the beginning because of the voice quality. He probably did it on purpose to sound 70s-ish. Props for that!
One of the best reviews for anything I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much for your hard work and enthusiasm!
I'm 51 years old and I had Intellivision in the early 80's here in Brazil. I didn't have many cartridges, because there weren't many available in Brazil, but I remember well the few I had: Burgertime (my favorite), Tenis, Shark! Shark!, Soccer, Basketball and Frog Bog. Unfortunately I donated the console just before I got married in 1994, but I currently play Intellivision games on my Raspberry Pi 4 and my RG351V (handheld).
I like the retro sound of your mic.
Nice video, and nice list! Definitely agree with many of your picks on this one.
I loved bump and jump.
How can AD&D not be in the top 10?! By far the best intellivision game with so many scrolling screens.. and it has an ending!
Swords & Serpents by I magic also huge s rolling maps, so huge the developer couldn't cram it on the cartridge so had to do a premature ending, but again at least it has an ending and you can WIN!
Especially treasure of tarmin, I liked that better than cloudy mountain but both were good. I agree with bump and jump, the only game I actually owned, bought it new at toys r us. My neighbor had 2 intellivisions, one was a Sylvania/GTE version with only one working controller, which he had to splice into the #1 position in order to make it work, but of course no 2 player games. He gave me that console and would let me borrow games a few at a time. He might have had 2 copies of the poker and black jack pack in that he gave me but I can't remember exactly. I do remember seeing bump and jump for cheap at toys r us and loved playing it in the arcade at chuck e cheese, so I got it, hence the only game I owned, the rest I borrowed.
I really liked b17 bomber, dreadnought factor, AD&D treasure of tarmin, Utopia etc. This was around 86 or 87, the only system I had from the earlier 80s was the vic20 as my mom didn't want the Atari we were gifted and exchanged it for the vic because of the computer aspect.
When I got Sega in either 87 or 88 the intellivision didn't see much action
Definitely agree with you guys on this point. These were among the best games on the IntelliVision home video game console line.
We don't know what games this guy had to choose from, and when he seriously played last to make this list.
There are penalties in Astosmash when a target hits the ground. If it's an asteroid you lose points, more or less points depending on the size of the rock. If a bomb hits the ground you automatically lose a life. If a guided missile hits the ground it chases you until you die.
The controller wasn't bad at all if you knew what you were doing. For a one handed gamer like myself it was perfect.
atlfan48 for many who aren't used to them the IntelliVision controllers can be a bit much, but one grows accustomed to them after a while.
@@bmkretrogaming7634 Best comtroller for the era no matter the game. I use it to play Intv, 2600, and Coleco. If you really want to learn it, it is no problem.
@@atlfan48 precisely! My channel currently does Atari VCS/2600, IntelliVision, ColecoVision, and Atari 7800. Have been meaning to add Atari 5200, and Atari XEGS, but one needs an output modification, and a reliable controller while the other requires repairs.
There’s a mistake in your list: Atlantis (from the legendary Imagic) isn’t #1! ;-)
Honourable mention to Beauty and the Beast (another Imagic title).
One drawback of the Intellivision was its tendency to overheat. Intellivision 2 didn't have that problem.
As you mention, one of the system's biggest shortcomings is that dumb controller.
JustWasted3HoursHere for those not used to them the IntelliVision controllers can be a bit much, but one grows accustomed to them after a while.
@@bmkretrogaming7634 I suppose that's true. The Nintendo NES controllers seemed stupid to me when we first got ours but I soon got used to it. The Colecovision controllers are wrist-breakers though!
@@JustWasted3HoursHere the mini joystick should have been on the bottom with the ColecoVision controllers. If not the side buttons.
@@bmkretrogaming7634 I agree.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere I applaud that the IntelliVision controllers, and the ColecoVision controllers tried to add more in-game functionality. Some gamers did respond positively to such an idea. Unfortunately though they just didn't come out to be very ergonomic.
Pac Man arcade is still available at arcades and an occasional Pizza shop
No Thunder Castle?
No Treasure of Tarmin?
The Dixie cup attached to the string on your Dixie cup has expired. Can you hear me now?
Astrosmash is great but if you are really good you can be playing for hours. One hour is pretty normal for me.
I figured this was just some joker using the line "Official Top 10" when there's nothing else official about it. If it were really "official" then we'd see sales figures to back up the list with Baseball being the number 1. It doesn't even say "my favorite 1-player games" or anything like that. Mattel did a big ad campaign, saying their sports games were so much better than Atari's, but none were listed here. They also promoted their space games after getting slaughtered by Atari licensing Space Invaders. Just one space game here, and it's not impressive to me.
Despite it's good graphics, I'm glad I had the better Atari games to play, so many based on 1970s arcade games. Oh, well. I did at least watch the video and comment, instead of just ignoring it like I was going to.
Agree to disagree.
