Mr. John ColecoVision

Yes, I bought it. It is under their "arcade"series, not the NES version, and while I don't pretend to be an expert I would say it is exact to the arcade IMO and includes several versions of the game.

interested to know in what way, e-shop version is arcade perfect?

Cool, thanks so much for the info! : )

Last week was 9 years since DKA was announced...now I understand why you started this poll ......ironically Nintendo released the arcade version in their e-shop a few weeks back.

Congrats! ...waiting for mine. Who did your F-18 mod?

Ordered!! Awesome release gents!

Donkey Kong and DKJ are pretty hard to find...

For starters it's deluxe. I believe it will use the Opcode SGM module allowing for graphical and sound improvements. I think the original is great but the arcade versions are the benchmark and this collection did not and could not reach that level with the original horsepower of the Coleco.

The new and improved Opcode release, Pac-Man Collection DX, is on the soon to be released list...

The odds of these two systems releasing anywhere near each other is extremely low I believe. In that case, the first to market usually has a major advantage so long as it wasn't released with any major faults.

How much does a clean, fully functioning, standard audio/video upgraded, ColecoVision cost WITH the SGM if you can find one? I am going to say easy $250 -300 and up. In my humble opinion the value is well within the price even at say $330 plus $20 so $350

I agree. In my opinion Opcode has had a huge influence on the community and the Colecovision audience being what it is today. Honestly I don't know if I would be engaged without him. When Pac-Man collection, Space Invaders & Magical Tree were released over 10 years ago these were game changers in their quality and packaging. These 3 releases are what captured my attention again in the Colecovision. I think $20 is fair as most people here paid $90 for the SGM. Now $20 is to much?

Here is my concern. I don't know the most recent partnership between Opcode & Team Pixel Boy but the last exchange i saw it didn't seem they would be working together in the future. I could be wrong but even if they were I also understand Team Pixel Boy was going to step down from publishing. My point is that 2 of the Big 3 Colecovision & SGM publishers seem to have parted ways with Opcode. If this is true then I am sad that there will be significantly less SGM games in the future and this is only hurting Opcode and everyone who purchased a SGM.

The SGM issue has been decided....we heard it straight from CollectorVision.

I can't wait for the CollectorVision Game System, I hope to be among the first owners!!

I understand, I was only hoping it would help to continue your programming for the SGM as you are one of the big 3

of course, I don't even know why I asked. Any possibility for a Kickstarter to bridge this particular gap only, not for the entire system?

Can you share where the breakdown was without starting a Coleco-Brawl?

Man that's a shame...we are stronger together and united....I am bummed....

I hope or Ms. Pac-Man pink!!!

Looking forward!

Thanks for the update!

Yay!! I am in the third group!

Mine arrived, awesome job and packaging!! Thank you Opcode and Atari Age Far less important but just wanted to share a sides note. IMO the transparent case could have been a little more so.

Looks like this is shipping soon.
