Reviewing the controller mappings in Baseball for both players |
In addition to Intellivision for PC (see VOL1
, VOL2, or the
Intellivision Lives! Website
), I also wrote two other Intellivision emulators. These emulators
are unique in that they run on inexpensive, low-powered 8-bit
systems (in the case of Intellivision for 8-bit NES, running at only
1.7 MHz and with only 2K RAM). They are written entirely in
hand-optimized assembly language, and employ several pre-processing
technologies that I myself developed.
- A configurable, context-sensitive menu system to simplify
controller mappings and to aid with inputting numbers.
- A configurable, context-sensitive camera that pans to show you the
most important areas of the screen, allowing the games original
layouts to be preserved.
- Making use of the taller screen when scrolling vertically to fill
the entire screen, allowing you to see a larger area vertically
than what would be possible on a real Intellivision.
- The ability to store graphics on inexpensive ROM.
- The ability to replace and enhance the graphics (without
changing the original game code), offering double the resolution
of the Intellivision, and the possibility of multicolor.
NOTE: To try Intellivision for Gameboy Color, you must have
a collection of Intellivision binaries, including the built-in
operating system, and the graphics ROM. You can get these on the Intellivision Lives!
CD-ROM. |

This is really cool! I can't wait to give it a shot!
ReplyDeleteI still have three original Intellivisions (two acquired second hand years after my original) that I hope to rebuild into one fully functional unit. I still have all my game cartridges and even most of the controller inserts.
The Intellivision was my first game system. My father bought all he could on a clearance sale sometime after the big video game market crash. I have treasured that game system, and I'm so happy that we are able to continue to experience these games today!
Thank you for your work and for sharing it with us!
