- Intellivision Advanced Dungeons & Dragons - Best Intellivision Games. You can blaze a trail and read, watch, listen and play the history of the incredible Intellivision video game console at The Dot Eaters: thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=co...
The venerable paper-and-dice game D&D inspired countless video games and the designers who made them. Intellivision Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Cartridge was the first video game officially licensed by TSR. It was also one of the best Intellivision games.

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 😉

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!
Thank YOU for sharing your great memories here.
Right on Ruben. Thanks for sharing. I also played this almost every day with a friend from 11 to 12. So much fun!
🙏😥
I have fond memories playing this game when I was little, this one and Night Stalker
My Mum used to play Radar Rat Race on the Vic 20
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!
That IS a great story. I have a similar one where, my dad owned a hardware store and one year he got the Coleco tabletop games, Pac-Man and Galaxian and all that, so I'd stay with him late in the store, take the game box into the bathroom, carefully unpack it, slip a battery in and play them. Then, I'd take the battery back out, just as carefully pack everything back in perfectly and retape the box, then put it back on the shelf.
Yeah Ad&d good old intellivision! (Tracking skills were essential) Bats were a pest because they hid the noise the other creatures made. I had to waste an arrow on them, so I could then hear the sounds of the other creatures that might be around me. What always fooled me was going into a blind area hearing a bat then I'd walk in the blind area and a snake or bear would be there also. So this is what I did I'd shot blindly in the direction the bat was in. I'd kill the bat stop and listen. Then if I'd hear a noise I would purposely fire an arrow in the direction It was coming from and be ready to fire more bears and snakes are fast. Good luck tracking.😎
I would've snitched on you because you jacked up Christmas. lol
My brother and I were so excited to get a Nintendo Christmas 1987. A few day before we couldn't stand it. My parents put a lock on the garage door, both inside and out. The indoor lock was a combination. But the garage door itself was a regular key. In the middle of the night we took our parents keys and snuck into the garage door, this garage wasn't automatic like it is today. we had to lift it, also without making any noise so we wouldn't get caught. Well, we found our gorgeous Nintendo in the bag on a shelf. We were out of our minds excited. We kept our cool until Christmas. I wonder if my parents ever knew we did that.
@@stu_164_minitruckin Hope you learned patience and honor.
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!
My pleasure... and well said.
Wear can I find this game can I put it on my tablet
Same here, I was also around 12 or 13 when I played this game. At the time my godfather bought a ping pong console and then bought the Intellivision when it was launched. The step up from playing ping pong was incredible! Every week or so, my godfather would buy a new game. I still have fond memories of playing the likes of Snafu, Astrosmash, Lock'n Chase, Skiing, Sea Battle. I used to play Sea Battle against my cousin for hours.
@@vegn_brit5176 I remember Sea Battle!! Awesome strategy game for its time. Me and my neighbor had many battles back in the day for that game!
wow this game. still the scariest game ever made :D
Truth!
Yup! It’s bringing back the memories!
The dragon!
Lol I agree, scared the hell out of me as a kid. I feel like this is where minecraft got its basic idea from, moving forward blind and hearing scary noises and then you dead hahaha
Agree!
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.
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.
Me too! The minataur was scary!
It was freakishly scary. I just liked to watch my friend Jason play. We always killed the owls because the sound of them flying was so annoying.
I too experienced much butt puckering due to this amazing game.
I was too young to play it , my mom used to play it and it scared the crap out of me when the “dragon” appeared in the dungeon
My mother still talks about be playing this game on the edge of my seat as a kid. Listening for that damn snake, inching forward with exactly 2 arrows...
Man, those were the days, weren't they?
Not really. But the acid helped
Lol if it wasn't for some asshat neighbors letting dobermans run loose in the neighborhood back in the early 80's at totally random times me and my big bro would've been outside playing like boys do instead of playing this because WOW those graphics really make my eyes ITCH! :P
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! 💖
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!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, and hitting subscribe, hopefully!
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.
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...
Sounds like you lived your best life.
@EVERKIEF
You started getting high early. I wish I had friends like yours when I was in high school.
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 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
My all time favorite. Glad to see I'm not the only one who remembers this great game!
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 used to skip school in 82 to play this. Totally worth it.
I was 16 when this game came out, and I played it for HOURS at a time!
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 too found it terrifying. Knowing and enemy is right around the corner but not being see it always had me on edge. This plus the speed they come at you on the harder difficulties.
The snake hissing was bad, but hearing the dragon without knowing where it would out come from................the stress!!
first video game system i had, this game scared me
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 want a tv solely to find and play this game. I loved this game so much.
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!
This is as close to a Time Machine as I’ll ever see! The sounds take me right back! I loved this game!
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.
Good times, good times. Replying in early 2021, we're ALL grounded right now!
Holy smokes. A WHOLE SUMMER? What in the actual world
@@0FFICERPROBLEM me andevery other dude in grade eight at my junior high failed the year. There were 4 grade eight and grade nine classes at the beginning of the year in 1984 there was only 2 grade nine classes in 1985 and six grade eight classes. Grade 8 in 1984 kicked friggin' ass!!!
@@0FFICERPROBLEM there's a typo in my original comment, it was the summer of 1985 not 83 that I was grounded.
Many memories
OMG ive finally found what my old game was called THANKS!!!
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
This is great! We used to play this when I was stationed in the Air Force! Loved it!
Wow i loved this game it made me the gamer i am today.
Tracking is essential, there are certain sounds & markings, you could always hear the bats you knew they were close.
You had to be careful with the noise bats would make because they'd hide the noise of the bear. The 3 arrow marker indicates that the tough strange animal is close by (keeping track of signs and listening to the noises is essential)
loved this game as a kid! great memories
Been there done that. Used to scare me at 9 years old. Lol.
6:58 - I used to think it was a white dragon standing atop the mountain and looking around all the time :D
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!
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
I'm at the point now where people on TH-cam are telling me their grandparents played these games. I'll just gather my long white beard up and go crawl into a dark cave myself now.
William Hunter
XD
Wow! I forgot that I even had this game with my Intellivision. I burned a lot hours playing it.
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 !!! "
Hey, you takes your chances when ignoring the "Requires a color TV" on the box!
@@doteaters We had no Sears or other big box retailers when I was a kid as we lived in a rural place and could only order games through free catalogs that we got in the mail, we had very little to go on besides a tiny pic of the cover art or maybe the occasional screen pic.
opening scene sounds like my cat purring
That's a dragon purring.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for the info!
You can't shoot the blobs, dude.
Man, I LOVED this game.
Wow, watching this guy NOT shoot around corners and NOT shoot into the darkness is driving me nuts! :O
@John6yt he's no Sharp Shooter 🤭
I loved this game when I was a kid. Played it many hours.
This video shows that it's best to avoid the purple mountains.
Good advice.
que buenos recuerdos, que emoción llegar a casa con un cartucho nuevo.
What a weird little game, thanks for playing
No problem.
I always wanted 2 play this so badly...
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.
Even now it's a bit creepy to play. As others have mentioned, it's kind of the video game equivalent of Temple of Apshai.
I so loved this game. Look out for Blobs!
I remember playing this at friend's house his mom was a nurse and always working it great .
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?
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.
I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for the input!
I was thinking of streaming this or/and the other one that they released, super cool, in depth dungeon crawler, Treasure of Tarmin
Probably only played by a few thousand people but everyone went on to form their own band
mi hai fatto sognare la mia infanzia...you are great!
I put so many hours into this game when i was a kid
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 game, tho ... I couldn't get enough of it.
Damn those snakes were deadly lol.
Why'd it have to be snakes....
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!
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.
Good advice.
@@doteaters Yeah, not having explored an area doesn't have any effect on your arrows. As soon as I heard a monster lurking somewhere nearby, I used to fire into the darkness in the hope that it'd either hit something right in front of me, or the arrow would bounce down the passage and hit the monster that way. Sometimes I could even kill the most dangerous dragons before they appeared!
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 🙂
Sounds like you had a lot of fun with your dad on this one.
A real favorite of mine... probably the best Intellivision game!
Y'all ever play Astrosmash, Night Stalker, Shark! Shark!, or Space Hawk?
I played all of those. My Dad bought tons of Intellivision games back then. Don't forget Tron!
Ci ho giocato tantissimo un ricordo stupendo! L' ho potuto fare vedere alla mia bambina grazie a questo video grazieeeee❤
This audio is giving me heavy nostalgia o was like 4 or 5.
I loved my intellivision, we played this, pac-man and football every day.
Loved this game so much
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.
Has anyone found an emulator for this for pc, iPad/iPhone or PS4??? Really would love to play this game again. Love it!
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!"
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.
This was my very first game and console.
That's a great way to start a love of video games.
Loved this game!
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.
very fun memories !
Behold, the Intellivision.. way ahead of all the other consoles during that period. I would eyeball the box art for like 10 minutes.. then play this game, awesome!
A good way of psyching yourself up for the game.
O meu jogo favorito, tempo em que a gente Jogava o mesmo jogo muitas e muitas vezes.
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.
You never knew what was around the corner.
Yeah, then you'd get a crazy ricochet and your own arrow would stick you right back between the eyes!
Loved 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.
Darth Nihiluz that was sea battle. Loved that game. All the ships had different attributes
@Dot Eaters: What about the whole game played, in full, in one video?
Where's that?
Sounds like a good idea. I'll have to see if I can manage that. Do you prefer commentary, or just gameplay sounds?
@Dot Eaters: I prefer gameplay only. Not that commentary is never interesting & insightful; but, the quality of the commentary that I have encountered amongst so many videos & so many users runs gamut of human intelligence. In general, commentary during a video walkthrough has proven to be unpredictable and untrustworthy, to say the least.
@@MorpheusOne Good stuff, I appreciate your input.
hey if i credit you, can I cap this footage for a youtube video?
Sure, go right ahead.
@@doteaters thanks !
MITICO !!!! BELLISSIMO!!!
apparently everyone on YT that has game footage of this game doesn't want to say where or how they are playing it.
Wonderful game. One of the best.
Remember being 7yrs old and thinking I was tapped into the government..lmao
this was amazing
kids couldn't understand just how neat life was then and the world is going to hell now
A fair enough appraisal of things.
@@doteaters do you understand how many "Will Hunts" I have met?
#14 Hunters Club Jimmy Johns
Please pet a bird today *(OUCH!)*
This is the first video game I ever beat way back when I was a wee lad😂
Congrats! It must have felt very satisfying. It's a great "first game"; I feel the Intellivision AD&D games really gave a feel for what would become possible in video games, and they demonstrated this all the way back in the early 80s!
William Hunter - I was about 11 and I was on top of the world!!
William Hunter - but yeah looking back it is rather impressive what they were able to do with a mere 4K of ROM
What's going on? Does anyone know of a video that explains what they are doing?
It's a dungeon crawler about three archers going to rebuild the king's crown. They have to travel across rivers and forests to get to Cloudy Mountain. Each mountain in the way holds a series of passages where they can find axes, boats, and keys to help them reach the Mountain. The colors of the mountains determine what kinds of treasures and monsters that will be found inside. At Cloudy Mountain, two pieces of the crown must be found to win the game. They are guarded by two Winged Dragons. Slaying monsters requires careful exploration. Sometimes you can hear them hissing or snoring before you encounter them. There are also visual signs of a monster's presence, such as rat droppings or demon tracks. Players can fire arrows into the darkness to hit monsters before they attack.
lisvender Thanks.
Blobs - just there to block your progress and kill you if you touch
them. Immortal, can't be killed.
Bats - block the subtle noise you hear from snakes and dragons when
they're nearby but not yet encountered (thereby alerting you to when
they're in an undiscovered room) Can be killed but killing them if an enemy is nearby will alert them to your presence
Spiders - steal your arrows when you run into them. Can be killed
Enemies in order of difficulty:
Rats - Grey mountains 2 rats, 1 snake. Only go into Grey mountains for
arrows. Rats make no noise. You know if they're in a room next to you by
paw prints, little dots on the floor (although they may well be
droppings lol, least that what my 6 year old self used to believe). They
guard arrows and the exit ladder. Snake guards nothing and make a noise
when nearby (see next paragraph)
Snakes - Red mountains. 2 snakes, 1 rat. The snakes guard an axe for
traversing forest areas of the main map and the exit ladder, rat guards
nothing. The snake will make a little ssssip, ssssip sssip noise if you
are in a room nearby but not yet encountered.
Demons - Blue mountain. 2 demons 1 dragon. The demons guard a boat for
traversing rivers and the exit ladder, dragon guards nothing. Demons
cannot be heard like a snake (or dragon) but can be located by three
2-toed prints on the floor warning you that a demon will be in a room
immediately off the current room you're in.
Dragon - Purple mountain. 2 dragons, 1 demon. Dragons guard a key for
getting past the locked gate on the main map and the exit ladder, demon
guards nothing. Dragons make a soft growl, almost a purr when they're in
a room nearby and undiscovered.
Misty mountain - End game. This is where you encounter 2 winged dragons
that guard the 2 pieces of crown you need to finish the game, and 1
normal dragon. Both types of dragon make the same soft growl/purr noise
as they do in purple mountains.
You have 4 levels of difficulty in this game - the difficulty shown in
this vid is easy as displayed by the colour of Misty Mountain :
Grey - easiest, followed in order of difficulty by Red, Blue then Purple
being the hardest.
Difficulty is reflected in:
1. Everything in game moving faster the harder level you choose
2. The amount of arrows per quiver reduced
3. How much damage enemies do
I opened one up and cleaned it with a tooth brush and alchohol. 30 games passed down by parents in '84
I want to see the victory dance!!
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 .
I like that Intellivision had games where you actually had to read the instructions.
This brings back a lot of memories. It scared the beJesus out of me when I was a little kid . 😂
Cloudy Mountain is running on an Atari, apparently.
That brain thing was called an arrow eater, I think. You couldn't shoot it.
The "disk of tron"
Ah yes, this good old classic, rat turds n' squeaks is what I used to call it!
A good enough title as any! If you're interested in a comprehensive read about the Mattel Intellivision console, you can check out my article on this amazing console at my site, here: thedoteaters.com/?bitstory=console/intellivision
@@doteaters hey thank you very much, I will!
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.
