Intellivision Lives! - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Intellivision Lives! - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

-Original Copyright: 1987 (included in the Intellivision game "Learning Fun II")
-Players: 1 or 2
-Keypad interaction: None
-Summary: Two consonants, with a space inbetween them, will fly horizontally
near the top of the screen.  You must use a vowel at the bottom of the screen
to toss up, making sure it not only hits right between the two consonants, but
also that it makes a word (i.e. it C  T is flying by, you want to throw an "A",
"O", or "U" up, timing it so that it fits in the middle of the C andthe T).

-4.7 Unreleased games-

Well, here they are -- the best part of the game (in terms of why you would
want to buy this instead of play the Intellivision games for free from the
internet).  These games were never released commercially.  Also, three of these
games are locked when you start Intellivision Lives!  To unlock those, see
section 6 of this FAQ.

**Brickout**

NOTE: This game is locked until you pass a certain play goal.

-Original Copyright: ?? (I have not unlocked Brickout yet)
-Players: 1
-Keypad interaction/Summary: I will update this part once I unlock the game.
-Reason for not releasing: I have no idea

**Deep Pockets: Pool & Billiards**

NOTE: This game is locked until you pass a certain play goal.

-Original Copyright: 1990
-Players: 1 or 2
-Keypad interaction: None
-Summary: It contains several different pool/billiards games (eight ball, nine
ball, red ball, etc.)
-Reason for not releasing: Intellivision died out before the game was released.

**Demo Cartridge**

-Original Copyright: 1978
-Players: 1
-Keypad interaction: None
-Summary: How's this for a neat little surprise?  It's the "game" that you'd
see in stores in 1979 when they were promoting the Intellivision system for the
first time. It is comprised mostly of footage of several Intellivision games. 
You do not do anything with this "game" -- just sit back and watch it!
-Reason for not releasing: It was only for promotional purposes

**Hypnotic Lights**

-Original Copyright: 1981
-Players: 1 or 2
-Keypad interaction: Preliminary & in-game (though you can just use the PS2
controls)
-Summary: A very interesting game.  There are several rows of different colored
blocks.  You must choose a row, and it will start scrolling repeatedly along
the screen.  Now you have to stop it and hope that somewhere, you made a 2x2
square of the same color.  Difficult to describe, really...
-Reason for not releasing: (In the next update)

**Magic Carousel**

-Original Copyright: 1982
-Players: 1
-Keypad interaction: In-game
-Summary: Described as what would have been a game for preschoolers, you have
to stop the carousel when you see a specific animal.  You then control that
animal in a different screen, and complete small tasks you get by answering the
telephone.  I bet preschoolers would have gotten a kick out of this one.
-Voice: This game has synthesized voice in it -- it's probably uses the most
voice over any other game in Intellivision Lives!
-Reason for not releasing: (In the next update)


-----------------------------------
5) Moving around Hal's Pizza
-----------------------------------

Hal's Pizza is where Intellivision Lives! takes place.  It is inside the pizza
parlor where you choose what game you want to play.  To move around, use the
analog sticks or directional buttons.  When you push up, you will be taken to
that machine's menu.

-5.1 Arcade machines-

When you go up to an arcade machine, you are presented with the list of games/
sub-categories for that particular genre.  For the sports arcade machine, you
have a list of sports.  Pushing X on one of those will take you to the list of
games for that sport.  All other machines just have the entire list of games
when you walk up to it.  When choosing your game, you'll see symbols next to
each game.  Here's what
they mean:

-Single yellow icon: 1-player game only
-Double yellow icon: 2-player game only
-Single & double yellow icons: 1-player or 2-player game (some are more than 2 
players)
-Red circle: Game has a play goal (see section 6 for more details)
-Green circle: You've beaten the play goal

Once you choose a game, you'll have yet another menu of options.  These are
pretty self-explanatory.  Just choose "Play!" to begin the game.

-5.2 Jukebox-

Intellivision Lives! has a few sound/music options, as well as some regular
game options.  They are available to change when you go up to the Jukebox:

AUTOSAVE:

When this option is on, the game will automatically save your new high scores,
unlocked features, and other statistics.  You must have at least 60 KB of free
space on your memory card, or already have an Intellivision Lives! save file.

VIBRATION:

This is an interesting feature.  They've added vibration to the classic
Intellivision games (only for a select few, though).  Turning this feature on
will enable the vibration, so long as you have a controller that does vibrate.

SFX VOLUME:

You can change this from 0 (no sound) to 11 (loudest).  The SFX volume is the
beeps and clicks that are part of the Intellivision Lives! game, and not the
sound effects actually programmed in to the Intellivision games.

MUSIC VOLUME:

You can change this from 0 (no sound) to 11 (loudest).  This is the background
music you can set with "Music Options" (see the Music Options section just
below Intellivision Volume).

INTELLIVISION VOLUME:

You can change this from 0 (no sound) to 11 (loudest).  This volume is the
original Intellivision sounds and music.

MUSIC OPTIONS:

Push X while you're highlighted on this option and you'll go to a sub-screen. 
From here, you can choose your background music options.  Here are the
different options you can choose from:

-SONG LIST (Play through a set of songs.  You can choose which songs you want
to include)
-LOOPING (There are two different "Looping" music choices)
-OFF (No background music)

SONG LIST SONGS:

*My Intellivision
*Game Tracks Medley
*Surfin' on Thin Ice
*Voice Medley
*Lounge Shark!  Lounge Shark!
*Classical Medley
*Snafu City
*Compare This Remix
(Of the songs you chose to play, you can have it play down the list as they
appear, or you can randomize them)

LOOPING MUSIC LIST:

*High Energy
*Rip It

-----------------------------------
6) Play goals/unlockables
-----------------------------------

Some games have a "play goal" that you must accomplish to unlock something in
Intellivision Lives!  Here is a list of games that have play goals, what that
goal is, and what you unlock when you accomplish it.

GAME TO PLAY:   | ARCADE MACHINE | WHAT THE GOAL IS |  WHAT IT UNLOCKS   |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frog Bog        |Kids            |Reach 300 Pts     |Hard Hat game       |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------
7) Radical Gameplay Modes
-----------------------------------

To add yet another spin on the Intellivision classics, you can set a "radical
gameplay mode" to be in effect for a certain game.  To enable it, select that
game from the arcade machine and go to "Radical Gameplay Modes".  You start out
with the following modes:

NORMAL

(No variation)

DOWNSIDE-UP

The game is flipped upside down

GRID SHOCK

There are 16 screens scattered throughout your TV screen.  Each one is very
small, and they all display the game you're playing.  Think of it as how an
insect might see the game.

PING PONG

The picture bounces back and forth on your TV screen.

REVERSEE

It's the game with reverse polarity (the mirror image of it)

-----------------------------------
8) Other exclusive content
-----------------------------------

In addition to what I've mentioned so far, here are some other things you will
find in Intellivision Lives!

***Bonus Commercials:***

For select games, you can watch the original commercial for that game!  You
will have to unlock it, though, as no commercials are available when you start
the game.  The commercials are available under the specific game's menu.  There
is only one commercial for each corresponding arcade machine (i.e. If you watch
the commercial under Astrosmash's menu, it'll be the same as the one under
Space Armada's menu).  Here are the arcade machines that have unlockable
commercials:

-Space
-Sports
-Combat & Sorcery

***Original Boxart:***

Also available in the game's menu is the option "View Box" -- by choosing this,
you can see the original boxart in all its glory.  Quite a nostalgia trip for
anyone who had the games for their Intellivision.

***High Scores:***

The Intellivision system did not keep track of high scores.  However, in
Intellivision Lives! it does.  This is only for certain games -- generally the
only games that would have a high score list in the first place (i.e. Checkers
does not have a high score feature).  You view your high scores for a specific
game under that game's menu.  Here are all the games that have this feature:

SPACE

-Astrosmash
-Space Armada

ARCADE

-Buzz Bombers
-Pinball
-Shark! Shark!

KIDS

-Frog Bog

NOTE: To be sure to save your score, exit the game (Start button, then triangle
button) BEFORE the game restarts.

***Production Notes:***

Again, you'll find this in the game's menu.  The production notes give you very
interesting tidbits about the game, its development, and/or some other quirky
fact.  Most also have a picture of someone who was involved with the game.

***Special Movies:***

This feature is NOT found in any game's menu.  Instead, you access it from
Hal's Pizza, independently of anything else.  There is an interview video, as
well as a retrospective of the Intellivision.  Both are very nicely done!

9) Credits
-----------------------------------

Thanks so much to CJayC for publishing this FAQ (if he does).  I understand
his unimaginably busy schedule, so the effort spent in putting up this FAQ is
greatly appreciated!

A big kudos also goes to Crave Entertainment for making such a terrific game!!!

Also, last but not least by any means, thanks to the original programmers and
creators of the Intellivision system.
