They don't make them like this anymore

Which kind of video game do you think is better? The kind that you buy, play for two weeks, and defeat it and never play it again. Or the video game that you bought 25 years ago and still have the same fun that you had when you first got it? I think that 25 years and counting is a better value for your money and for fun.





My all time favorite video game is Advanced Dungeons and Dragons for the Intellivision. I just got done playing it. I played four games of it this morning. 3 wins and 1 loss.

You start with three lives and that's all you have for the entire game. You move toward the big mountain where the dragons have stolen the crown jewels. You need to recover them. BUt in order to get there, you must enter other mountains that have different creatures in them. And tools that you will need to get past natural barriers like rivers and forests.

Obviously the graphics aren't the greatest in the world but graphics aren't everything. I much prefer that a game actually be fun than look nice. Unfortunately the games today are more interested in looking good and not in being fun. Instead of 15 minutes a game, it take weeks to finish and then you never want to play it again.


You can get this game on the intellivisionlives.com website in their Intellivision lives cd-rom. Only its not called Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Instead its called its in development name: Adventure.
