retroillucid Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I wish I had those SuperGames boxes! .... if someone is interested to trade/sell ..... please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelliK111 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I would love a other limited run of Ghost n Zombies in the arcade style box :lust: I have still yet to play this game (only because I can't get my hands on it) and I have heard Ghost n Zombies is talked about being one of the Greatest ColecoVision games ever made for the system. I have watched lots of video on it and I really wish I could play this. Cost would not matter for me, it would be a instant BUY! So what do think can you make this happen PLEASE :grin: You'll have to beg the author (Youki) ...... cause there's nothing I could do without Youki's permission But I don't think he's interested to make another run ...... sadly for those who missed it Ok Please Youki :grin: !!! I think this needs to happen. My thing is if you did a limited run of Ghost n Zombies in the arcade style box not only will the people that missed it gets a chance to get it but I would think lots of people that already own the game right now would probably buy another just for the super cool arcade style box. It would really fit with Ghost n Zombies! I can just imagine it :grin: PLLLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASEEEE YOUKI I'm dying for a chance to play this game and this would be so cool!

So what do think can you make this happen PLEASE :grin: I'll trade you CIB Ghosts & Zombies for the CIB DK & DK Jr. SuperGames and a hefty sum of cash! Nah, just kidding. Isn't it amazing that two 27 year old games just might be easier to come by than a Homebrew game that's only 2 years old. In order to finally get my G&Z, I had to buy a large CIB collection that sent me down the very expensive path of trying to complete a CV CIB collection. Those SuperGame boxes are just so damn cool which makes the trade thought very tempting. I would haft to think about to be honest , for G & Z and Pyramid Warp & Battleship Clapton II I most likely would do that Those are the 2 homebrews that I have had lots of trouble trying to get.

My bad.... you're out of luck since Youki hate those "arcade style" boxes with a passion You'll have to find another idea if you want to convince Youki to go on Seriously.... I think this won't going to happen anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Those are pretty nice. I don't really have any plan to get an Adam but it would be cool to own those just to see them on the shelf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65Gamerguy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) A friend of mine showed me these games he was selling and I have never seen a box like this before for the Colecovision Adam. I was blown away!! I had to have them! He was going to put it up on ebay and was wanting kind of a lot. I saw that NIAD has them both listed as R7 but I don't know if that is with a box or not. Well after thinking about it all night I said screw it and got them. I hope I got a good deal but either way I love them. He said he had a Zaxxon one but he already sold that one Anyways I hope you guys like the pictures Pretty awesome. I ordered my super DKJ from Coleco back in the day.

Murph74 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Heh, Gamerguy. You just made me think about it.. I'd bought my copies originals in the 80's from NIAD. I wanna say they were like $9.95 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoFan1981 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If I had these three titles all CIB in their boxes, I'd rather have them stay being boxed for purposes of higher resale value. ~Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think that was the only way to get those back then. I was told that they where not sold in stores.

Maybe someone verfi that for me All three of these SuperGames were sold in stores throughout the U.S., Canada and most likely England as well. In fact, all Coleco released software for the ADAM was available to purchase in stores, it's just that some titles like SimpleCalc (not ADAMCalc) and disk versions of a number of titles were EXTREMELY hard to come by unless you lived in the Northeastern part of the United States... and even then there were no guarantees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph74 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 While I can backup NIAD on the retail availability, it's hard for me to believe that as deep as I was into the Coleco and Adam scene, I still hadn't heard of SimpleCalc until recently (my past few years here on AA)!

Yeah, SimpleCalc was a hum-dinger of a surprise the first time I read the post about it on here as I never saw it back in the day and must have overlooked it in Coleco literature thinking that it was an early version of ADAMCalc. As far as the other officially released ADAM Software that came complete in a box with manual, the only two that I never saw in stores around Chicagoland were the disk versions of Super Zaxxon and Dragon's Lair. I definetly bought the DK, DK Jr. and Zaxxon SuperGames at Toys 'R Us along with almost everything else ADAM related (maybe a couple items were purchased at Service Merchandise).

I have the disk ver of Dragon's Lair and that's looks the same as its Data pack ver. but it just says diskette on it instead of data pack Edited October 16, 2011 by RelliK111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Congrat's on those games, RelliK... they look INCREDIBLE! I've never owned an Adam and I know very little about the computer system, so seeing that select games for the system were released in these "arcade boxes" totally blows me away! Thanks for posting the pic's! Mendon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the disk ver of Dragon's Lair and that's looks the same as its Data pack ver. but it just says diskette on it instead of data pack The disk version of Super Zaxxon comes in the same size and style of box as Dragon's Lair and for that matter The Best of Broderbund, Family Feud and a number of other non-game software releases by Coleco and Coleco of Canada. BTW, the 5 1/4" disk would have to be folded in order to make it inside those Arcade Cab boxes... which I think could ruin the experience of playing them!
