Coleco Chameleon.....new console from Coleco

[Coleco Chameleon.....new console from Coleco]

Yeah. It's very weird to me how a console could play 8-16-32 bit games.

 

Coleco Chameleon is more like a 2600, Colecovision, Sega Genesis and Neo Geo (32 bit?) consoles in one case.

 

A console could be 8, 16 or 32 bit but not 8, 16 and 32 bit at the same time.

 

Nevermind, I read too fast as usual.

 

 

 

in the 8-, 16- and 32-bit styles

[Coleco Chameleon.....new console from Coleco]

When a 8-16-32 bit console need a cooling systems?

 

Did SNES, Neo Geo, N64 have a cooling system?

[Coleco Chameleon.....new console from Coleco]

Who needs consoles based cartridge today?

 

Cartridges are out because they cost too much to make.

 

That's why consoles used cds/dvds/blu-rays format as the new formats are cheaper to make.

 

Also Chameleon won't run Colecovision/2600 cartridges anyway unless I missed something.

 

All games need to create from scratch.

[Coleco Chameleon.....new console from Coleco]

Like in the video said, why Coleco Chameleon has Atari Jaguar case?

 

Never seen an Atari Jaguar? Here it is.

 

 

Most people won't buy it.

 

People today won't care 8-32 bit games anyway when they can play better resolutions, 64 bit.

 

They're free online games on the internet, Why would you want to play 4 players when you can play thousands in multiplayers?

[Lack of Piracy Killed the PS Vita]

 

That's the beauty of a properly setup digital distribution system, though. The hardware is basically irrelevant, because all of your stuff is stored safely in the cloud. If something happens to one system, you just download it again on another system. If done right, it's not that big of a deal and provides incredible flexibility. Compare that to a single disc or cartridge, and you have to ensure the safety of that single disc or cartridge. That also ignores the high probability of it needing updates and a high storage footprint anyway, so little is actually gained, other than the illusion of owning a physical copy of the game.

 

As for the PC, in terms of physical media, it's more or less a lost cause at this point, since most physical product you get requires tying it to something like Steam anyway, and of course is going to have updates that have to be downloaded, so it's not like the physical media is good for much of anything anyway.

 

I'm not sure what's a cloud is. Is it a kind of stockage online when you buy download games?

 

If a Vita breaks, Can I download the same games on other Vita free of charge?

[Lack of Piracy Killed the PS Vita]

 

Actually, I think the lack of success for the Vita at retail is precisely WHY the majority of games are digital only these days. There's no point in taking on the risks of unsold physical inventory (or stores not wanting to carry it in the first place) when you can serve the loyal audience with digital only product that's far less risky to produce.

 

It's a shame that Sony can't change the way memory cards work and make it as easy to swap memory cards as it is game cards. It messes things up when you try to use different memory cards, which, given the proliferation of games available to PS+ members, seems like Sony losing out on more purchases of no doubt high profit memory cards.

 

Yeah. The games became digitals today. Not only digital games would hurt PS Vita but all the video games as well.

 

No wonder why today video game systems won't be sold as many as they did in 1990s - 2000s.

 

Smartphones and PCs won't affect because those devices are not made for gaming only.

 

Nintendo introduced amiibos. The new gadgets would boost Nintendo's devices... For a while.

 

I'm not surprised that if in the next generations, stores will sell consoles only. If you want to play games, you will have to download them.

[Lack of Piracy Killed the PS Vita]

The drawback with download games, If something goes wrong with the console, you'll have to download the same games and maybe paying the same games too. I'm not sure about console/portable/smartphone but on PCs, you have to register to the website to play these games.

 

For ne, you buy games from the stores and play it without bothering to register to websites to play.

[Lack of Piracy Killed the PS Vita]

If a least, all vita games are on cards, I would buy the console. Unfortunately most games i want are available only on download.

 

The problem is not just for vita, but for all new systems as well.

Okay.

[How to use codes in blogs?]

The code I gave you came from DailyMotion.

 

I didn't write it. Just copy and paste.

 

It works fine with few sites but not here.

[How to use codes in blogs?]

 

Ok. But once published, I only get texts.

 

Here the codes to insert:

[Atari 2600 3rd party games: Coleco or Activision?]

Double post. Sorry

[Atari 2600 3rd party games: Coleco or Activision?]

No Pitfall for you?

 

No ms.pac-man, no space invaders, no Star Raiders, no jungle hunt, no vanguard and no combat for you.

[Atari 2600 3rd party games: Coleco or Activision?]

Neither.

 

ATARI RULES

 

I play more 2600 games by Atari than anything else.

[GBA Castlevania Double Pack!?!]

what is this gameboy advance cart worth? and why do some people want so much for it?

I get that Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance are arguably 2 of the best castlevania

games, but $80? is that a fair price?

 

Kazam_screenshot_00000.png

have you seen me?

 

This price is for collectors only. Some sellers want to make money fast.

 

I bought Castlevania Double Pack for $30 only.

 

Konami should include Circle of the moon in the pack too.

[Best games before 1980]

Ass Turds

 

Ass Turds? Sound like a joke.

[Sierra Online's the next step]

Thanks for the links

 

They're helpful.

[Sierra Online's the next step]

I just tried the new step. It's a character set editor like Mrfish said.

 

I wonder what's the point to buy this software.

 

Is it compatible with Basic?

[Best games before 1980]

Then why ask about games before 1980?

 

Because video games became more interesting since Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, River Raid, ...

[Best games before 1980]

I honestly can't get into the Apshai games. I've tried, but they just move too slowly for me. But, it's been a while, and lately when I revisit games I remember not liking that much, I like them more than I thought I would. So maybe I'll have to give it another look.

 

That's the kind of game that was in arcades at the time, and that's what got ported over or adapted to consoles. If you want something deeper than "score as high as you can in 2:15" or "score 10 points before your opponent" in the 1970s, you probably have to go to the home computer systems.

 

That's why I'm not interested in video games until 1985.

[Best games before 1980]

There's Ultima 1 for Apple II and the temple of Apshai for Commodore Pet and TRS-80.

 

Almost all Atari VCS games are 2-3 minutes of gameplay prevent me to enjoy those games.

[Best games before 1980]

For me, the best video games begin when Space Invaders was introduced on Atari VCS.

 

So what's the best games before 1980 on any consoles?

[Sierra Online's the next step]

When reading old Compute! magazines. I noted Sierra released the next step on Atari 8bit.

 

Based on the ads, I wonder if the next is a language between Basic and machine language.

 

I can't tell much from the ad.

 

 

 

[Atari 2600 3rd Party Games: Imagic or M-Network?]

M-Network. Dark Cavern and Lockn'Chase are my favorites.

 

Imagic didn't release maze games.
