Donkey Kong Arcade, Donkey Kong Jr, Super Zaxxon, Kangaroo & hopen Ladybug for the SMG are just a few of the reasons why I ordered a Super Game Modual.

I didn't know Sarah Michelle Gellar had a thing for Lady Bug.  :P

I love how you just threw out that $50 controller price. Man, I don't want to pay $50 for a controller. Stop putting ideas into his head. lol. I would say maybe $20 for a controller would be reasonable.

Only a true toy/game company could produce a controller for 20$, and that's only if they can manage to produce and sell units in the many thousands. Opcode Games does its best to provide high-quality products, but that doesn't change the fact that Opcode Games is not a real company. So you can forget about a new/modern ColecoVision controller at anything less than 50 bucks. With relatively low production numbers, production will be expensive any way you look at it.

Also keep in mind that the Opcode released the ROM to Pac-Man Collection a while ago, and this ROM works on the AtariMax SD cartridge.

I think kids\grown ups these days can figure out a game like Super Metroid quite easily. It's the impatient\un-disciplined kids I tend to chuckle when I see them rant....and not even try to think and figure things out on their own.

Yeah, I get a chuckle out of them too. Here's an example I recently stumbled upon. This kid was obviously born with a silver joystick in his mouth:
