Ladybug was originally made in 1981. The arcade version came out in 1981 but the home version was being prepared for a 1982 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakogame 箱亀 Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 Yeah, but the screen said 1982 Universal, 1983 Coleco. The 83 date would be for the atari release, but the Universal date would have to stay 1981 because Universal had nothing to do with the (fictional) home conversion.

rolenta Posted September 21, 2001 Share Posted September 21, 2001 FYI, It wasn't a fictional home conversion. I lent Joe a slew of Press Releases from CES. Among them were tons of Coleco sales sheets which had screen shots on them. Whether they were actual screen shots or artist's depictions is up in the air, but the games were planned for the 2600.
