Falconhood Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Atari is not Coleco. I know, but I figured it was true for everything, and mostly because of the electrical reasons (the voltage per outlet difference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconhood Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yes it's region free..... this makes me really wonder how many other systems are region free. This is of interest to me, because I always had the SNES adapter that played SFC and FAMICOM games, the Sega Genesis thing that allowed Megadrive games to play, and etc, just so I could experience games from other countries that didn't make it to the USA. Is there a list somewhere with that info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I know, but I figured it was true for everything, and mostly because of the electrical reasons (the voltage per outlet difference) Compatibility of games between regions is a different story. If you want to play a ColecoVision game in Europe where residential power outlets are 220V, then you need a ColecoVision console with a proper power supply for that region. The power supply block that comes with the Australian version of the console looks different from those of other regions, but I don't really know what's different about it internally. Anyway, you can generally play Coleco cartridges released in Europe on an American console and vice-versa, as the ROM content is usually identical. However, the games will play slightly slower on European consoles (I mean both European and American CV carts when I say this) because European TVs display images at 50Hz (instead of 60Hz in North-America).

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Here's another sealed Spinnaker game, Fraction Fever. Not great titles but still Sealed at this price is too good to pass up.. I'm trying to complete my CV library this year, might as well buy sealed if I can, if its reasonable. http://www.ebay.com/itm/390643284644 Somebody must have found a storage unit or something because there's Copies 'O Plenty! Tons of CIB stuff right now, The markets pretty saturated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Here is a very interesting auction that says Fisher Price Colecovision games http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fisher-Price-Colecovision-games-/231216582269?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item35d5950e7d The only problem is that every game shown in the picture is a Commodore 64 cartridge... I discovered this when I couldn't remember a Sea Spellers game for the Colecovision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I noticed that as well, I dont know why it shows up in the search results when its a C64 game.. I almost bought one Lol. I was thinking about messaging them or eBay to correct the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValkerieSilk Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 LOL!!!! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 221431404656 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 LOL!!!! eBay Auction -- Item Number: 221431404656 Actually the $300 BIN price on the box and manual are not that bad for these SUPER RARE and very hard to find items. All you have to do is buy a loose cart from Mumbai for $35 and you have yourself a CIB of one of the hardest CV games to acquire in CIB form. FYI, I paid $300 for my CIB a couple years ago and can only imagine that the value of Aquattack CIB has only increased because they just don't become available.

Opinions may vary and as we all know, everyone has one. Obviously someone thought the $300 price tag for the box and manual were well within reason.

ValkerieSilk Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I'll ask seller to confirm it sold for that.... I have two NIB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I would NEVER pay that price for a box and manual. That game has a rarity rating of 6, I paid less for Sammy Lightfoot NIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Who rates Aquattack as a rarity of 6? I could see a loose cart being a 6 or 7, but no way should a CIB be rated this low. It is one of the rarest CV titles to be had in CIB form... not as hard to find as WizMath, but definitely harder to find than Sammy Lightfoot after a surprising number of Sammy's showed up on eBay last year.

+cmart604 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Sadly that price might be just about right as Jim suggested. If you've got two NIB copies of Aquattack I'd certainly be interested in one if you're willing to part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I wouldn't look at those raritys that site doesn't get updated and the rarities definately never get updated. NIADs list of games in a thread has the newest rarities that anyone has attempted in probably 5 or more years. All those websites are that old on their rarities. Aqua Attack used to be as hard to get as sammy lightfoot and lately there has been more sammy lightfoots showing up around and no Aqua Attack. Most Sammys used to go for 250 - 350 in price. I took a long time holding out to get Aqua Attack because I was trying to get it less than 300 bucks and I never saw it cheaper so one day pulled the plug and bought it at atari2600 for $298. If you have 2 aqua attacks NIB then you are sitting on a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 http://www.colecovisionzone.com/page/game/interphase/aquattack.htmlJunior hasn't updated his website rarity ratings for years and probably since he created the individual game pages, so that R6 rating is very, very outdated. I've actually given up on trying to maintain rarity ratings in my Collector's List as well because it is just too much work, but trust me when I say that Aquattack is every bit the R8 or R9 rating in CIB form and fair market value is around $300. I can only imagine what a Sealed / NIB copy would fetch... Congrats on having two!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
