Intellivision Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Best Intellivision Games 

I have an Intellivision game playlist if anyone wants to watch more: ru-vid.com/group/PL6F2249C34BF2B82A Or a general retro game playlist if anyone has hours to burn. Just play it in the background and take a peek now and then 😉 ru-vid.com/group/PL29Nw7At9Gp0CfAhZ1sibVsAAFsGwFc2K

I used to play this fantastic game when I was 11 and my mom played it with me sometimes, and it was funny how extremely nervous she used to get when the monsters where chasing her, we had good fun together. Sadly my mom passed away 6 years ago, but certainly this is one of my good memories with her. Thanks for the memories!

I have a story for you... It was Christmas eve back in like '82 or something and I wanted Advanced D&D so bad. I played Dungeon and Dragons in public school so this was the next best thing. Anyways, I was only 13 or so and couldn't afford to buy this game so I asked for it for Christmas. Well, come Christmas eve, I noticed one of the presents for me under the tree was the exact same size as an Intellivision game!! So... when my parents went to bed around midnight, I snuck under the tree and grabbed the present and went into the basement where the Intellivision was setup. I carefully unpeeled the corners and slid the game out of the box. I spent the next 4 hours, with the tv volume turned down low, playing D&D. I can still hear the hisses from the dragons as you entered each cave. Anyways, Before sunrise, I repackaged the game, went upstairs to bed and fell asleep. Come Christmas morning, my mom hands me the present. I tried my hardest to look surprised at what was inside but the tape had come loose and the game just fell out...trust me, you would have laughed your ass off if you were there!

Oh, man... I was 12 or 13 when this came out and I remember playing this game for hours on end! I had forgotten about this game and now I can't wait to find an emulator and fire this bad boy up again! It's games like this one that shows just how much the GAMEPLAY matters - suspense, adventure, escaping to worlds yet imagined. Thanks for taking me back to those days!

I'm 23 and I played this game over at a friend's house when I was like 10. Such a great game for how old it was. One of my favorite pre-NES games.

wow this game. still the scariest game ever made :D

I used to play this game with my dad way back in the early 80's. It scared the hell out of me. The developers squeezed every bit of terror out of this tech.

Let me describe the summer between my 1st and 2nd years of High-school in the early 80s: Out of bed promptly at noon. Eat lunch. get high. go swimming and cycling. Play this game for 3 or 4 hours while snacking on Doo-Dads. Eat supper. Get high. Play this game for 3 or 4 hours. Get high and listen to Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Repeat, repeat, repeat...

Can't believe we used to look at these graphics & imagine those snakes & dragons were real! Watching this brought back so many memories & feelings! Thanks!

Man, those were the days, weren't they?

Man, this brings me back to hanging out at my friend's house, and going up into her brothers' apartment when they were out. We'd play this while imbibing our favorite, lemonade and vodka. I hated hearing my arrows being stolen! The actual gameplay was faster, and you had to rely on the auditory clues as to what was coming. My friend called it Dragons and Arrows. Great memories! 💖

This game was part of my childhood and I loved it. It was sort of "open world" in that you start on one side of the map and there are different dungeons and paths to go through. A game that didn't ride on rails was serious innovation back then. And yes, the game had lots of jump scares since you had to explore unknown paths and didn't see the monsters until they were right next to you.

I remember playing this game in 1983. I was 5 years old, and it was one of the first video games I ever played, burgertime being the first. Intellivision was great.

My all time favorite. Glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers this great game!

I played this every day when I was 6. It was TERRIFYING! This game shows you that it's not graphics that makes a game, it's DESIGN.

I was 16 when this game came out, and I played it for HOURS at a time!

I used to skip school in 82 to play this. Totally worth it.

My Mom and I played this game together as an RPG before the era of Might & Magic and Breath of Fire along with Thunder Castle on Intellivision - so far I'm still hooked on RPG games on PlayStation that have a dragon in them

This video shows that it's best to avoid the purple mountains.

This game was scary as f*ck. And I loved it. Played on my cousins Intellivision back in 80's. Man, wish kids still feel the same excitement when they hit up a good game.

A true classic and a game that I played hours on as a kid.

I still remember being a little boy, watching my mother play this and 'Beauty and the Beast" In 84, when I was 4 years old.....I still miss those days .....

I showed this to my son and he is more into the games from nowadays, so as punishment, I'm going to make him play this until he beats every difficulty, backwards, until he learns to respect the heritage of video gaming. If this doesn't work, I'll make him play, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in NES, and complete both endings, NO EMULTORS/SAVE STATES EITHER!

opening scene sounds like my cat purring

I want a tv solely to find and play this game. I loved this game so much.

I loved this game, I was grounded for the summer of 83 and could only go outside to cut the lawn and go to the local mall to get groceries for a total of one hour a week. Anyway I played a lot of A-DnD and found the best album to listen while playing was Led Zeppelin IV.

This game is pretty easy once you figure out what you're looking for. Now these are 40 year old memories but I don't think the silver mountains do anything for you. Red was the Hatchet, which you didn't use to go through the forest, instead going from mountain to mountain. Those keys in the purple mountain allow you to pass through the gate. The blue ones contain the boat, allowing you to cross the river. Bats are harmless but they cover up the noises from things which are harmful. Basically you need to run when entering a cavern, also it doesn't hurt to explore everything before going for the cave with the dragon. I'm not saying it was easy because I was so great at it, but because anyone could be- the enemies are not too fast or clever. You make your way to the big mountain, and take on a bigger dragon or something.

This is as close to a Time Machine as I’ll ever see! The sounds take me right back! I loved this game!

first video game system i had, this game scared me

Wow i loved this game it made me the gamer i am today.

Ever since I was a kid the Intellivision that my mom and uncle had as kids was in my grandparents basement. This was and is always the first game I boot up when I go downstairs. Been 15 or so years of playing for me and 35 for my mom and my uncle lmao

So mad at myself. Had this system back in the early 80s as a kid, well the older brother did. Kept it around until I finally moved around 1996. Didn't want to drag it with me, so I threw it and a box of games out to the curb. Gotta find it again, for my kids!

6:58 - I used to think it was a white dragon standing atop the mountain and looking around all the time :D

When I was kid we had an intellivision but it was hooked up to a black and white TV so it was difficult to tell which mountains were which difficulty level, I find it so hard to fathom that now every one has a nice big color TV and no one remembers just a few decades ago when so many people only had a small 19" black and white TV and shows you watched that were reruns were almost always in B/W. "ONE OF THESE DAYS ALICE, ONE OF THESE DAYS !!! "

OMG ive finally found what my old game was called THANKS!!!

one of my favorite games Ever. I got Intellivision Lives and this game is called Crown of Kings(trademark deal). When I play on hard level I rarely beat it.

Many memories

Wow! I forgot that I even had this game with my Intellivision. I burned a lot hours playing it.

Wow, watching this guy NOT shoot around corners and NOT shoot into the darkness is driving me nuts! :O

loved this game as a kid! great memories

My grandparents showed me this game when I was idk 6 (cause they played it) and i had horrible anxiety whenever I’d play it. Im watching this 6 years later and just the beginning when you Choose the mountain is giving me anxiety

This is great! We used to play this when I was stationed in the Air Force! Loved it!

This would be a thousand times improved if you explained what's going, on what the colors represent, what the options are and what the goal is.

You can't shoot the blobs, dude. Man, I LOVED this game.

Oh it's a white mountain, that's the easy setting. This shit was hard on the purple mountain ("Hero") setting. You ended up having to guess where the dragon was and hit a shot to get him chasing you, then hit 2 more arrows while he's moving faster than you.

Probably only played by a few thousand people but everyone went on to form their own band

This was my favorite game on Intellivision. If you think you’re too good at it, try playing with the sound on mute for more challenge.

Been there done that. Used to scare me at 9 years old. Lol.

What a weird little game, thanks for playing

this was amazing kids couldn't understand just how neat life was then and the world is going to hell now

I don't think you realise that you can fire into the darkness and around corners. If you fire into diagonal walls your arrow ricochets off. Then if there's another diagonal wall it'll bounce off that as well. Very handy tactic if you hear a monster somewhere nearby.

I may not be correct on this - but since I have not seen this game since childhood I was like screaming at the top of my lungs to fire some test shots in the dark lol. Used to play this with my Dad as a child he would use the one pad's disc to steer us and then my job was to shoot. Always wondered whether your arrow would bounce back and hit you or if an angry dragon would come out 🙂

apparently everyone on YT that has game footage of this game doesn't want to say where or how they are playing it.

I put so many hours into this game when i was a kid

I would like to see kids today play this and see the reaction as far as scares go... It's amazing how creative the devs had to be and how our imaginations were able to compensate for the simple design tech. Would this have the same effect now?

I always wanted 2 play this so badly...

Me for the first 2 minutes: "Oh my! The way this guy moves outside the moutains, he'll never survive the first mountain he's in!"

I loved my intellivision, we played this, pac-man and football every day.

Crazy just how far dungeons and dragons games have come

A real favorite of mine... probably the best Intellivision game!

What happen to my Intellivision and games? I personally wouldn't dare throw them out, no way. It seems after every big move stuff would "get lost." The only toy/game that survived from my 80's childhood is a Jason mask and Freddy Claw. Which shows you how iconic those guys are. I guess not really, but still.

I was thinking of streaming this or/and the other one that they released, super cool, in depth dungeon crawler, Treasure of Tarmin

Are you playing this on HD TV? Or is it from an emulator? The picture quality of your game is really crisp and sharp. Playing it on my CRT TV or on pc monitor (from the original Intellivision console) gives very low picture quality.

This audio is giving me heavy nostalgia o was like 4 or 5.

Hahaha... I remember when I used to want this game because a couple of kids at school were diehard D&D fans. My parents wouldn't get it for me because it had the name "Advanced" and they figures it would be too hard, lol. The big purple bear monster in this game scared the shit out of me. I remember running when they came charging at me.

A friend reminded me of this game yesterday. I remember playing with my dad. This game gave me nightmares. lol. Doesn't seem quite as scary now. But at 10 years old. It was scary to play.. Loved it though.

I so loved this game. Look out for Blobs!

que buenos recuerdos, que emoción llegar a casa con un cartucho nuevo.

Um what is going on in the first few minutes. Favorite and only Atari game: Dragonstomper. Anybody who hasn't played it and loves retro rpgs this is one of the first true rpgs. Even has jrpg like battle system.

oh my god! amazing! i loved this game when i was a kid. it scared the shit out of me! seeing it again and, more importantly, hearing it again scratched an itch i didn't know i had! thank you. some other games i loved were sea wolf? i think that's the name? where you controlled the navy convoy on a map? or bump n run with the jumping cars. and of course burger time! and football and baseball. oh the intellivision memories... oh utopia!

This was my very first game and console.

@Dot Eaters: What about the whole game played, in full, in one video? Where's that?

Damn those snakes were deadly lol.

I opened one up and cleaned it with a tooth brush and alchohol. 30 games passed down by parents in '84

I remember playing this at friend's house his mom was a nurse and always working it great .

Ci ho giocato tantissimo un ricordo stupendo! L' ho potuto fare vedere alla mia bambina grazie a questo video grazieeeee❤

This brings back a lot of memories. It scared the beJesus out of me when I was a little kid . 😂

Loved this game!

I loved this game when I was a kid. Played it many hours.

If you pressed ‘3’ at the beginning of the game it put it in easy mode. My older brothers could never figure out how there 9 yr old could beat this game😅

This game, tho ... I couldn't get enough of it.

Loved this game

Loved this game so much

when i was a kid we used play this game stoned and with the volume down. it was awesome.

Remember being 7yrs old and thinking I was tapped into the government..lmao

I played this to death!! So tense in the 'hard' mountains as you really had to be fast to kill things before they mauled you. Often having to guess and start shooting at the Dragon while it was off screen.

very fun memories !

I've been rewriting the instructions to this game in a note book , I will have to find notebook and Instructions for game play . I have the 60 games built in Version of the INTELLIVISION .

Ah yes, this good old classic, rat turds n' squeaks is what I used to call it!

Wonderful game. One of the best.

Has anyone found an emulator for this for pc, iPad/iPhone or PS4??? Really would love to play this game again. Love it!

That brain thing was called an arrow eater, I think. You couldn't shoot it.

You clearly don't realize that you can shoot into the dark.

Who else played on the hardest difficulty and was like nope.... the creatures are too dam fast 😂

This is the first video game I ever beat way back when I was a wee lad😂

The controllers made this game that much harder to play!

I learned the word quiver from this game

Anyone remember a battleship type game I think on the same system? I remember it was 1v1 and you had different types of ships. Also, B52 or B17 bomber was cool.

hey if i credit you, can I cap this footage for a youtube video?

mi hai fatto sognare la mia infanzia...you are great!
