    Have you played the Switch version of Donkey Kong? I would like to buy it, but I am worried it might not be arcade perfect.

    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.

    The old version is perfect already. I don't see how it can be improved. What's so special about the DX version, anyway?

    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.

    This right here...

     

     

    If we are really fighting over a twenty dollar bill please just stop right now. Twenty dollars is nothing. Just say "yes" to that deal, include the SGM into the system, continue making SGM games, put out an amazing system, and all parties, customers included, are happy.

     

    When I think of the amount of money I have spent over the past few years collecting and playing ColecoVision games, seriously, spending an extra twenty dollars wouldn't even be on my radar of things to get hung up over. If twenty dollars is what it takes to help bring this community back together and for me to say "THANK YOU" to all parties involved for their hard work, you can count me in!

     

    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.

    Ok, sadly we couldn't come to an agreement with Eduardo about the SGM compatibility with our console

    That being said, we're NOT going to make any more SGM compatible games

     

    Although, those who are buying our system will be able to ''hack'' their console and add the SGM compatibility (just like the Analogue SuperNT)

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

    Wow, has it really been almost a month since the last update? Time sure flies!

     

    Anyway, I have just under 10 customers from which I'm still waiting for payment. Despite this, I consider the second phase of order processing to be behind me. I'll deal with those remaining customers on a case-per-case basis.

     

    After I've finished filling out the tax forms for myself and my mother this week-end, I will turn my attention to assembling cartridges and gluing boxes for the third group of customers who are still waiting for their games.

     

    We're already in the middle of April and I consider myself to be behind schedule. The first packages of the third group will likely ship in May only. Can't wait to get this all done. :)

    Yay!! I am in the third group! :D
