Videogame Review, Snafu for the Intellivision 2 (w/ Brand New Intellivision 2 Controller)

You don’t always need a new system to know what it’s like brand new.  A brand new controller can be plugged into a used console with very much the same effect and those buttons won’t be sure to fail you during gameplay.  Snafu is a chaotic game; that’s obvious because the name “Snafu” is really a noun that’s used to describe chaos and I’ve used this game for myself personally to indicate why we should have some messes here and there for vigorous gameplay.  The game begins with drawing a line- in fact, through the option menu you can define the program’s gameplay on how a line can be drawn (4-way, 8-way) and both masters and novices will find plenty to chew with Snafu.  Challenge becomes apparent when lines are being drawn and can’t necessarily disrupt the other lines in progress.  Controls with the black disc are questionable; I’ll have to keep a close eye on the TV screen while issuing commands from my disc because my disc is connected in mixed ways with the TV screen.  With there existing 4-way or 8-way movements and having a 16-way disc, a mess is going to occur on the front and we’ll have to figure out where the line “fits” on the black disc.  New controllers do have the upper hand in gloss but fail to overpower the used controllers in grainy texture for the disc, pushed-in locations for the fire buttons, and ever-more subtle transactions made with the black, white, and red keypad.  I’m speaking of brand new Intellivision 2 controllers although there’s plenty to visualize with the gameplay: lines being drawn, configured, and erased on impact.  Sounds and music get especially dramatic when 4 lines are being drawn and someone must face away from Earth in defeat.  Difficulty ramps up a good deal and you won’t exactly be pinpointing over the same movements from a controlled line.  Fire buttons do something on my buggy Intellivision 2 but I haven’t yet figured out what.  Honestly, gameplay with Snafu is like an efficient program since the lines can’t precisely be slowed down or acted on some different cause.  “Practice makes perfect” as the saying goes.  Better innovation could’ve been made for the firing buttons by the Intellivision team even if I appreciate their honesty and friendly intention.  It’s possible for gamers to argue a bit with each other naturally on who gets what color, when and why.  Beauty & the Beast for the Intellivision truly has exclusive dynamics in both gameplay and visual style although Snafu does capture the point-to-point Battleship approach through imaginary effects.  I’ve confirmed that the next, modern version of the Intellivision will be called the “Amico”.  Snafu is great for kids who love to draw lines and parents ought to approve of the simplicity in the program’s involving endeavors.
