Beauty And The Beast For Intellivision

[velocity73R]

This was a great game, and probably some of the best graphics/sound on the intellivsion, the haters are too young/ignorant to know any better.

[LycoValleyRRFan]

@velocity73R Don't worry I don't hate the Intellivision nor this game (hell better than most games today) and was born in 93' My uncle has a intellivision and it still works and that's how I know. However half the time I like to go to the top a jump off.

[kurtedwr]

The beast looks like Stan Smith. And is the hero is naked except for boots, and are those hooters on his chest?

[wrathofautumn]

Nothing personal but I just don't feel this one when I look at it. The graphics and sound bits certainly are impressive and the Intellivision is in general a good console. Still, it looks like a clone of donkey kong with King Kong as a template.

Now Thunder Castle was a classic for the Intellivision!

[balbanes1]

I used to love to climb all the way to the top and fall all the way down.

[IJustWatchEm71]

@balbanes1 I was just going to mention that until I saw your post! That was HILARIOUS!!

[thereagauze]

this game was pretty horrible, Donkey Kong meets Crazy Climber?

Imagic did some good stuff on the intellivision though.

[sinistermoon]

@thereagauze

I'm not seeing how it being a cross between Crazy Climber and Donkey Kong makes it horrible. This game was always one of my favorites. The game play is there, great graphics, nice sounds, controls good. Overall I find it to be one of the better Intellivision games.

[thereagauze]

@sinistermoon to each his own I guess, I wasn't into it.

Now Demon Attack or Fathom on intv were more my speed.

[000TheGamingZone000]

I really like this game, it's fun and addicting

[Daluigi207]

Doesn't look that bad, but it looks like a DK clone.

[palaguin]

I remember enjoying this game quite a bit back in the day.  Good times.

[Atomicskull]

This is still better than the Intellivision version of Donkey Kong (which could have been much better on the Intellivision than it was)

[ARDLPATEAMO]

OMG!!!!!! I LOVE THIS GAMEEEEEE.THIS IS THE MOST CUTE GAME FROM INTELLIVISION. O QUE RECUERDOS TAN PADRES DE MI NINEZ,EN MI MEXICO LINDO Y QUERIDO. ESTOS ERAN JUEGOS Q TE RETABAN A MOSTRAR TUS HABILIDADES EN LOS LEVELS. LA MUSICA INOLVIDABLE. PARECE Q FUE AYER Q LO JUGUE. OH! OH!!! SI Q ESTAMOS VIEJOS, AJJAAJJAJAJAA.

[cocainecosmonaut]

I just realized the music when you grab the heart is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet theme.

[SatoshiMatrix1]

What am I watching? Jay Lenno hurling oranges at Ronald Mcdonald?

[Kennyrules101]

no wonder i found this game for 50 cents boxed and complete at a thrift store! hun

-_-

[sinistermoon]

@Kennyrules101

Let me guess, you're a little kid. Tell ya what, let's see if you can at least beat my score in the video. It really is a fun game.

[Kennyrules101]

@sinistermoon not as little as you think i am i'm 13 and a game collecter a i don't have an intellivision yet i'd rather play donkey kong honestly

[sinistermoon]

@Kennyrules101

Have you played Donkey Kong for the Intellivision? It's one of the worst ports of all time!

[Kennyrules101]

@sinistermoon no but iv'e played it on gameboy,nes,2600 etc

[Evilmonkey66699]

@sinistermoon I will admit the Intellivision port of DK and DK Jr was a insult but it still had nothing on the Atari 2600 VCS, the commodore vic 20, and the ZX Spectrum versions. Those were really heinous.

[cocainecosmonaut]

@Kennyrules101 13 is little. You grew up in the Next-gen gaming era. I'm glad you are open-minded though and are checking out what video games really came from. No one can ever describe the nostalgia of old games and the fun and joy you had playing them. It was different when these kind of graphics were the best out there. You used your imagination along with playing and really got into the game. Nowadays more value is stressed on reality/graphics versus gameplay.

[Kennyrules101]

@cocainecosmonaut i know that iv'e got other retro consoles like gameboy,nes,snes,vectrex,genes­is,n64,saturn, etc

[9393zach]

@Kennyrules101 It's actually a pretty good game. Don't judge games of that era by looks.. Trust me, I've probably been collecting video games since you've been in diapers. XD

[jeremysart]

Please, make a video of just the animation and sound of the yellow guy falling from the top of the building over and over.

[Bradkalproductions]

should have called this king kong....

[bluemanor]

man I blew so much time on this game as a kid. Seeing this was like stepping into a time machine.

[kobakommander]

Are you supposed to be Ronald McDonald?

[RETROGAMER43]

Looks like a rip off of the arcade game Donkey Kong.

[vulgarscreams]

i just bought this game plus Micro Surgeon, this reminds me a lot of Donkey Kong for the Atari. i don't own an Atari yet, but thats just my 2 cents. can't play my intellivision yet but i'm stoked on owning it. love the graphics, nothing beats this

[MrMario393]

for those of you who say this game stinks, take donkey kong, change the graphics, characters, and ladders, add more challenge, and at last, more levels. so its pretty much donkey kong !

[flimflabber777]

kind of like donkye kong except this came out first

[EXPLOSIVEEGG]

@flimflabber777 donkey kong came out in 81, this game came out in 82... Donkey kong came out first...

[ggary04]

OMG how could you not love this game? This is one of the best. I still have it and 49 other great game now all I have to do is get a intell that works lol.

[cybersalad]

I loved this game!!!!!!!!

[renegadeskinninja]

so you save a smurf from the fat teleporting ninja with a pickleman?why cant games today be this creative?

[tigresuave11]

Donkey Kong?

[VigorousjammerX]

So, this has... absolutely nothing to do with the Movie, does it?

[EXPLOSIVEEGG]

@VigorousjammerX No, the movie came out much later than the game, and they dont have anything to do with each other.

[Tr3vor42532]

reminds me of donkey kong

[Vaporifix]

Wow, I remember playing this when I was around 5. I always thought the building had a red brick texture....memory is a funny thing.

[TJae1]

like donkey kong ~ bad nintendo ~

[jango52577]

This game was a great Donkey Kong clone and I actually thought it was a better game as a kid. Also, like many others have said, the INTV port of DK was horrible!! This game is a great replacement. My aunt and my uncle had the INTV port and remember it wasn't as good as the arcade version.

[aidan92m]

epic shit right here

[ratesforless]

Ah man, this was one of the last Intellivision games I bought. I think I hung over 100k in this game once....

[misterintellivision]

INTELLIVISION FOREVER!

[dallase1]

I never understood why the bird sounded like a cricket.

[starblazers1969]

This is one of my least favorite Intellivision game. For some reason I just don't care for this game. Maybe it is because there are a lot of other fun Intellivision games to choose from.

[sinistermoon]

Yeah I can understand that. For me it was really awesome because it was the first and only Intellivision game that I bought with my own earned money from a store. Like as in when they were still being sold in stores. So I have very awesome memories of taking it home and opening it up and stuff. It was $5 or so at Kaybee toy store in 1988 or so.

[starblazers1969]

Intellivision was my first video game sytem also. My mother gave me an Intellivision 2 for Christmas in the year 1982. During the video game crash I was able to buy a lot of Intellivision games cheap, for around $5 a game. I was lucky back then that the games were cheap because I didn't have much money when I was a kid.

[AllPro777]

@sinistermoon

Hmmmm... very curious game choice... hmmmm.

[NeoSquirrel]

@sinistermoon Personally I found it a better alternative than the god-awful Donkey Kong adaption--better sound (multiple reward music), real closure for completing the level (the beast falls, the pair gets rescued), and it played so much quicker and looked so much better than the INTV DK. I also loved the neat touch that the background on each challenge screen actually had the cityscape in the background fall lower and lower the higher you went. Really gave a sense of height.

[gjc82071]

@starblazers1969 Actually it's 1 of my favorites. It kinda reminds me of a cross between Crazy Climber & Donkey Kong. I've still never made it all the way to the top though.  I just played INTV Dracula for the 1st time tonight, kinda cool. Man classic/retro games is so great! Thank god for emulation!

[johnavingian]

man this was the shit. i still have my intellivision. 4bit graphics and all. lol,,,

[AnimalGuy17]

The intellivision was actually a 16 bit system the first one actually

[HankWhiteman]

I only wonder that if it was 16 bit, why wouldn't they have had sounds and graphics like the SNES or Sega Genesis? Maybe because the programmers back then didn't have the knowledge to make it like that?

[blade004]

The 16 bit only applies to a data bus pathway, so its like having 16 lanes on a highway not 8 as you would on an 8 bit system but separate from that are the independent custom chips such as for example in the case of the Commodore Amiga, you had -:

Sound Chip

Graphics Chip

Blitter Chip (to move large chunks of data)

Motorola 68000 CPU running at 7mz (the Megadrive also used the 68000)

Yes i believe the Intellivision could have done better than this but not much better.

[FedorovAvtomat]

I think He-Man was about the bast you could do with the Intellivision. And good description of how bits works.

[dallase1]

Intellivision was a 16-bit system.

[pokerjet]

They are correct, the INTV was the first "16-bit" system running at like well lets just not measure it how low the hertz was, and the actual processor only grabbed the info in 10-bit blocks Mattel loved to call Decle's.

[TheHeroForce]

The Gameplay Look's Like How You Play This Game

[sinistermoon]

Very good? I agree.

Why the hell do you capitalize every word in your sentence?

[fatmanrock44]

kinda reminds me of donkey kong.

[dallase1]

That was the intention, it was supposed to be like the concept of donkey kong and since Donkey Kong for Intellivision sucked almost as bad as the Atari version it was a welcome addition to the Intellivision game library

.

[daveheel]

imagic came up with some sophisticated (for its time) games for the intellivision.  i had this one. pretty addicting donkey kong clone.

[richardhutnik]

Thanks for the post. I was wondering what this was like. So, you can fall all the way to the bottom of the building? Ouch! That is brutal.

[sinistermoon]

Haha yeah it is major brutal. And that is were you restart, all the way at the bottom.

[richardhutnik]

Nothing like old retro to remind people how hard things are.  Also, I am sure playing with the disk pad made it also extra challenging.

[sinistermoon]

Nah. It feels and controls great. This footage is a recording of an emulator. At the time that was the only way I could record games. I have the game and play it still and it feels great on the Intellivison controller.

[richardhutnik]

Glad it works with the Intellivision controller. I have tried to use the controller in the past and some times it doesn't seem to work right for me.

[Kajayachtproductions]

that game seems like a copy of Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600

[clumseygenius]

man i miss this game, was by-far my fav. intellivision game

[airwolf28]

I remember playing that game and I usually beat the whole thing too. Here's a little hint. When you see the window closes, you can still climb up no matter what. Also, you be better off with the heart to climb up faster too.

[sinistermoon]

Haha yeah man. I usually get to at least the 4th building. This was my first time playing in a long time and it was on an emulator so I had to you the keyboard. But soon I will be posting real Intellvision video.

[madmadhatter]

looks like the retarded son of Donkey Kong and Crazy Climber.

[huskerfan4life]

I was good at this game, but my younger brother was awesome. I am trying to think what level he got to. It was unreal. Awesome Flashbacks.

[pokerjet]

Imagic actually put a word down in the level counter for every 5 buildings (I loved thinking they were hotels) you completed, and as you went the free lives were very infrequent, starting at 1 per 2 segments and going to only 1 per building.

[lilc613]

lol i played this wen i was a kid

[YukiTheLaughingMan]

The game glitches at 3:06 - King Kong or whoever it's supposed to be falls through the floor and back to the top of the screen.

[sinistermoon]

Nice.  Your the first person to notice that. The glitch is not in the game itself as this video is recorded off an emulator. I believe it was a fault of the emulator and not rom dump.

But yeah you are absolutely correct.

[gatoneko]

lol One of the lesser roles that Arnold Swarchenegger played in.

[naard]

intellivision's donkey kong...that managed to be more fun than donkey kong ever was.

damn i loved that system...

some of my best memories come from that damn console.

[UgIzZz]

looks like never ending game..

[rlewis9226]

i want that game

[fuzzywzhe]

All I can say is that every gamer should get down on their knees and thank god that Commodore 64 existed to get the entire game industry through the video game crash.

[dude3812]

it´s a clon of donkey kong, isn´t?

[abellang]

the fuck it is clon of donkey kong, who the

fuck made this game??????????

[UgIzZz]

something like that but i think diffrend version

[scpoker]

Seems you were running this on an emulator, the machine/cart running native gives you about 3 or so seconds after a death before recording another one. The difficulty lies in a few things. One the boulders get heaved quicker as time goes on, the building narrows as you go up, the boulder splits into 2 pieces (2nd building on) & the free life you were getting once per 2 stages becomes once per 4 & even less as the levels pile on. I've done 12 before I quit on this game before.

[anniexbizcochuelo]

never played it, but i have the cartridge AND the console (:

i must download it from intellivision lives

[sinistermoon]

It gets harder after each building.

[graymalking]

This brings back memories! I particularly like it when in the top flors there are still cats to make you fall xD

[gambler6]

What a memories. I hated the bird too. I rememeber once I climbed to the last floor and I fell from a corner... I drop the controller serveral times on the floor! (what a kid) xD

[howelldrake]

So the hero is naked, the beauty is a Smurf wearing a fedora, and the beast is Chuck Woolery. Okay, I can see that.

[sinistermoon]

HAHAHAHA! Chuck Woolery!

[cole3454657]

those ppl at the ground are watchin prolly thinking wtf is he doin? and that sound he makes when he falls while staying on the building sounds like hes crippling himself

[Directorboy91]

So bassicaly it's donkey kong?

[mrkallen]

seems so

[billyjoelsux]

the best part was commiting sucide at the top floors

[ouh80hwr]

This guy is hilarious! I'm gonna buy his DVDs.

[VicGeorge2K6]

Not a bad mixing of Donkey Kong and Crazy Climber.

[lfrage]

My cousin loved that classic game! He's gonna flip when he sees this!

[classof77]

Fun game. Great graphics, like all the Imagic intellivision carts.

[sinistermoon]

Hell yeah! The game play on this game was great. I would sit there and play it for hours.

[sinistermoon]

Haha me too!

[sinistermoon]

Opps deleted you comment on mistake! Please comment again!

[UltraNeko]

ROFL! The ONE comment you had and you fucking deleted it! PWNED YOURSELF!

[sinistermoon]

Haha I didnt even noticed you commented this vid. Yeah I totally pwned myself LOL
