Aha! Turbo! Greetings, Manuel No... Cabbage Patch Kids!! I can bet.... Opcode

When I was a kid, I found a manual stove lighter (one which generates electric sparks) would work for adding credits to several arcade machines if pressed near the metalic coin door. I had used it a lot, but when I tried with a Joust machine, it shutdowned and reset. I thought I had broken the thing I got out of the place quickly... Opcode

Hi Scott! All Atarisoft games for CV rule IMHO... It´s a bit ironic but I think Atari was the best third party for that machine. Unfortunately they were able to release just 4 games (plus 4 prototypes)... If I keep doing games for a while maybe I could have more games released than them... Opcode

Just reached 300 new in box VCS titles. I was the first one to play each of them. Not bad for a Brazilian guy, eh? Opcode

I will have a big number of them shortly... You know, for SIC. I will be doing CV 32KB PCBs here in Brazil, with gold contacts... I can post a pic here when boards are ready... Opcode

I must confess it's a game which I don't want to miss...

Did you say the retail price of an S.I. was $20? I'd love to help the cause by donating carts, but even buying ten Donkey Kongs would cost me $20 because they charge $2 apiece for Coleco games here, and that doesn't even factor in shipping. Well, but by sending me old carts one would get a free SIC copy including shipping, which I think is a fair trade. Anyway from now on I will be adding a promotional SIC t-shirt to the trade. So send me 10 carts and get a free SIC copy plus promotional SIC t-shirt plus shipping. Better deal? What do you think now? Opcode PS: Previous donators are immediately eligible to get the free t-shirt too.

Were we supposed to get e-mail back confirming our order? I dropped you a line at the address listed and even signed it "Sincerely, Steve (MegaManFan)" but hadn't received a response. I hope I am indeed part of the "first run." Sorry Steve! I am playing catch-up with emails here! Anyway I think you will find a confirmation email waiting for you now... :wink: Hi Sean! That's strange cause I did send you email a few days ago (please check your netzero account). Anycase I will PM it for you again... I am starting to get low on Coleco cases. Does anyone here want to trade 10 Coleco made ColecoVision cartridges for a SIC copy? Thanks! Eduardo Mello

Umm... In the first I found it strange too, but I have played so many Konami games which did say "Option" instead "Options" I had started to think it was right. Maybe another case of bad "Engrish"... Ok, your first contribution has been added! How about "Play Select"? Opcode

Good news! Half of SIC first run is already reserved. Thanks everyone here for making this release possible! Opcode

Hi there! I am happy to announce I have just included the last features to SIC. Now the Midway (USA) version of SI Part II (Deluxe) is complete, including changes to copyright message, default high scorer, flashing UFO score, invaders formation after round 1 and name registration screen (little known difference). From now on I will just be doing bugfixing. Pictures bellow show differences between SI Deluxe and SI Part II (Japanese). Opcode

It didn't come out for the MSX, I can say for sure. I have read somewhere it was planned for the ColecoVision but ultimately didn't come out too... Eduardo

Yep, I'll be there on July 19th. I'm going to Campinas to see some friends and then I'm off to FORTAL!! Campinas, eh? Beware the water there! Well, I think it'd be difficult to have SIC ready before August, but if you have the chance to go to Sao Paulo, please feel free to be my guest. Eduardo

Sao Paulo city... Yep, it will be shipped right from there. Why? Are you planning a little trip down here? Opcode

Hey, I almost forgot to say: Space Invaders Collection is a Xype title! Opcode

Umm... Basically Paypal. I have found it isn't possible to send international money orders from US to Brazil. But perhaps you could send money to Joe Santulli instead, since he has financed this game. I will check with him. Opcode

Call me crazy but it will be $20. I am just waiting word from my printing service in order to set if this price will include shipping or not. You know, I am aiming quality foremost. You won't get gold platted circuit boards and offset printed box and manual for this price anywhere else (beside two great arcade ports, of course) :-) I will show production samples pictures here as soon as I get hold of them... But again, production run will be estimated based on reservation. And I am not sure if I will be able to produce another run after that... Opcode

Hi there! Ok, unfortunately, due to legal issues, DP isn´t going to release SIC anymore. But there is still a way to get it if you want. Just send me an email telling me how many copies you want. I will add you in my reservation list so you can get the game this August. Package hasn´t changed; you will get cartridge, manual and box (offset printed). Contacting me will be the only way to get SIC now. Quantities are very limited... [email protected] Space Invaders Collection is a arcade port reuniting two SI games, the original arcade and its follow-up SI Part II (Deluxe in US) for the ColecoVision game system. The game allow you to play Japanese and US versions of both games and features arcade perfect graphics and gameplay. Nothing is missing, guaranteed! Opcode

I would add Antarctic Adventure and all Atarisoft titles to Zero's list. Galaxian is a really good game on the CV. In fact if you have the chance, try to get hold of all Atarisoft prototypes repros released at CGE 2001 (Joust, Pac-Man and Dig-Dug). They are quite good too... However I must desagree about Buck Rogers. I am sorry but this game sucks big... And if you are into arcade ports, maybe you could want to reserve a copy of SIC. Modestly you won't find a better port of SI on any other classic system... Sorry, I just couldn't resist... Opcode

Wouldn't that be "Pause" in inaction ? Hehe... Ok, maybe I didn't choose the most appropriate words... It would be easy, but I am short in memory, and this title screen has already stolen me a couple of KBs... Opcode

Zanac was born as a MSX computer game. Shortly after it was released for the Famicom system... Eduardo Mello

Just a small (but important) update: Pause feature!!! Opcode

Ok, a couple more updates... - New title screen - Option screen now shows Coin Info setting - 8 different game variations, now including Midway's SI and SI Deluxe - Credit and number of players now selectable via both controllers. Play using your favourite joystick, even if it doesn't have a keypad. Eduardo Mello

Hi there! I have been away for a while (mostly cause I got married two months ago)... But now I am getting back, and have resumed my game projects. I have done a few more work with SIC before it's released at CGE. Now it’s possible to change several game settings under a new Option screen... Beside that, the collection now features 4 screen variations per SI game, including both the US and Japanese versions for each game. Very faithful, with copyright changes and ever different score points and bonuses. Hope you enjoy. Opcode
