INTELLIVOICE CARTRIDGE [#3883]
Program: Gene Smith |
CATALOG DESCRIPTION

It's a race against time as you attempt to disarm the terrorist bomb before it destroys the city! The screen shows the bomb circuitry as voices heighten the tension. "Wrong part...they'll never do it in time...one minute till blast." Hurry, other lives besides your own hang in the balance. Three voices, three screens.
Bugs: Depending on the level (Level 3 is the worst), you cannot take a part, with pliers, to extreme ends of the circuit board when the fast (top action) key is pressed. Once the key is released, you can. It is most noticeable when you release a part and you need to pick one up at the top level.
Bugs: If the wrong part is cut, Frank will say, "wrong part: resolder!" and there is a sound associated with it. If Boris is talking when this happens, his voice overrides Frank's. Frank won't say "wrong part: resolder," but the associated sound still occurs.
Bugs: When you have correctly soldered a part, it will not move like the others so that you know what you have replaced. However, if you solder that piece again, it will start moving.
Fun Fact: The working title
Juggernaut came from the 1974 Richard Harris movie of the same name that was used for inspiration.
Fun Fact: The voices of Frank and Boris were provided by
Phil Proctor and
Peter Bergman, two members of The Firesign Theatre, the popular comedy group responsible for 22 best-selling record albums.
Phil Proctor and a third member of the group,
Phil Austin, are heard in the game B-17 Bomber.
Fun Fact: INTV Corporation unloaded the leftover inventory of
Bomb Squad cartridges to a distributor in Mexico, even though the Intellivoice was never sold in that country. Without an Intellivoice, the game is virtually unplayable.
French, Italian and German translations of the dialog were recorded but never used.
