the review system. 1 = Terrible, 5 = Awesome!
The very last game written by INTV Corp. for the Intellivision; released only as a ROM image. That is, until the IntelligentVision team produced a beautifully packaged, complete game in 2012.
| Graphics: 4
Sound: 4
Replay Value: 3
Notes: 1- or 2-player game; available only as ROM image until 2012; Easter Egg
Screen Shots |
I haven't sat down and played Deep Pockets enough to give it
a fair review with respect to gameplay yet. I can say the following things, though...
The title screen music and graphics are great. Visit the official
Intellivision Lives!
site for an interesting history about the game's music. The graphics for the
title screen and a couple other areas are also quite nice. The major disappointment
with the graphics is the flickering of the balls. Since they were treated,
apparently, as distinct objects (i.e. no dirty tricks were pulled), the
limitation on the number of moving objects is exposed in this game.

Quite a nice screen—and the music is simply awesome! As soon as I heard about this ROM I downloaded it through an Intellicart and was just wowed by that music. |
|
Nice variety of games to choose from. |
|
Once again, impressive graphics—all that just to pick the number of players! |
|
Actually, this looks much better than the real thing. The actual game flickers a bit because of all the balls. |
