I'll join that club. I love Dino Eggs, its a game I discovered on the C64 that, after figuring it out, became very addictive.

 

Any homebrewers out there looking for ideas on porting a game to the Coleco, this would be a great one!

 

Dino Eggs for the Colecovision does exist according to first hand knowledge of someone I have known for over 30 years.

He went to some computer expon in New York around the 83/84 timeline and at the very least seen a working demo.

Is that to say that it was not the full game, he says it was.

 

That said.

This thread started January 29 and now going on 3 months around the corner.

I mean really???

If they're planning to sale this game, it's normal to take so much time to release it.

You really love Dino Eggs, don't you?

I remember seeing all the ads and reviews for it in magazines BITD and waiting for it to be released for the CV... which never happened. Anyway, I can't really say I love it because I never have played the game even thru emulation.

^ I'll join the chorus and state that Dino Eggs is one of the very platform games ever released. I'm shocked that it has never had a homebrew release for CV as well. It would be easy to fit into 32k, and a talented CV programmer could make an outstanding conversion of the game for CV -- there are no technical hurdles and / or insurmountable challenges. The fact that it is mostly static -- no side scrolling or screen scrolling makes it an excellent match. Ditto for CRISIS MOUNTAIN and SHORT CIRCUIT as well, both written by the same author as DINO EGGS.

Yes, despite the name, it's not a Quiz at all

It plays similar to Qix with a puzzle twist

The game can also be played 2 players simultaneously

 

Looks very simple, but it's quite fun actually

 

PLEASE tell me that you"ll sell this in a plain white box with insufficient instructions. And make me go to Service Canada and get in a line to buy one!

 

LOVE THIS. Sell me a copy and I can pretend that it's 1983, have my own Teleguide kiosk, and am playing "games" while also looking up the weather in exotic destinations like Manitouwadge and Armstrong. I may even build a CV kiosk and stick in the lobby of the Provincial Building in town (I work in it!) to give visitors a thrill. :grin:
