Yikes! Glad I got my systems when I did (1999-2000) #1 System +12 games (4-5 boxed) - $125. #2 (from the same place) System + 12 games (4-5 boxed) - got some dup games in this one but also got a Polar Rescue w/overlay.

dis·in·gen·u·ous ˌdisənˈjenyo͞oəs/ adjective not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does. Sorry you feel that way - but it is my 'candid / sincere' opinion - you have yours - case closed. Good luck finding the games - as I hope to find the ones I'm missing also. Jeff

Over the years I've wanted to purchase ALL of the games made available by the publishers, but circumstances have made that impossible for me. Would a ROM release be good for me - sure (would rather have a cart - NOT BOXED - CHEAPER :-) ) - but I've don't recall asking for one. I'm not siding with the publisher/programmer or the requester of the ROM, but the former have a right to say no - period (wish they wouldn't on some games...). I look for games I don't have on EBAY / here (at a reasonable price) - still looking for several of them. Jeff

Having purchased several Opcode prototypes... looking forward to further videos! Thanks for the 'walk thru' of the game Mouser (only have had a few minutes to play it myself!) Jeff31

Not in the tournament (just don't have the time working 6/7 days a week!) but holy crap - my best score for this is 10,763 and NCG (and a bunch of others) usually leave me in the dust! Just curious... these are my best (from around 84-88 time frame... has anyone done better? 1. 100 yd dash - 9.14 s - 1215 points 2. Long Jump - 8.45 m - 1109 points 3. Shot Put - 20.44 m - 1089 points 4. High Jump - 2.20 m - 1025 points 5. 400m - 43.48 s - 1129 points 6. 110 m hurdles - 12.84 - 1085 points 7. Discus - 60.23 - 1046 points 8. Pole Vault - 5.0 m - 1052 points 9. Javelin - 87.74m - 1074 points 10. 1500m race - 3:32.74 - 1035 points Jeff Sorry didn't mean to derail the tournament game thread...

Maybes on Flicky, Booming Boy, Multiverse, Bomber King & Dragonslayer IV - more info needed. Yes to all the rest.

I've been following this thread since it began and well... didn't 'know' / 'been thinking of' how to respond. 'back into' - Well I've never left since I got my Coleco back in 1983(?) (I thought I was 'strange' collecting for an older system). Then 'EBAY' started getting bigger / I discovered OPCODE / Digital Press etc. around 1998-2002 Fast forward - Collectorvision / Team Pixelboy / other independent publishers Cool at first - but lately - they are making me broke with all of the releases - sorta like 83 when I could not afford ALL of the games. Back in 98 I bought a collection off EBAY - 96 games (38 that I did not have) / Console / etc for $500 - The wife thought I was INSANE - but later I learned that a boxed (complete) WIZ MATH was valued at $800!!!! Also in that collection was a boxed Jungle Hunt. Later I sent the box to a collector in Florida for a couple of games and some dough... Poo - although I do not collect boxes (see other threads) - I WISH I HAD NOT DONE THIS DEAL!! LOL - Oh Well (JFC - it's a friggin box!!!!) Ah well my story (briefly)... Jeff31 Still recall a weekend with my then wife playing Lady Bug (2+ million points) for a Twin Galaxy highscore - later 'recalled' by me do to lack of confirmation.

PM Yurkie here in the forums. He can help you with the controllers (and other coleco mods) Jeff

Your best bet (if you want to have the system upgraded)... is to send it to Yurkie. He can refurbish the controllers and add various mods to your system. PM him for a list of prices etc. Jeff

Don't know if this has been done in the past but - OK - looking for where you live. Not down to an address - but at least a city/country (and a state if in the USA) Me - Lansing, MI area USA I know where some others live but I'll let them 'chime in' if they wish to do so (some have it in there sig / avatar? geez getting old...). I bring this up because I attended an Adam Computer meeting a few years ago and was surprised at the turnout for the Grand Rapids MI meeting. I'm also a 'member' of the Midwest Classic Gamers Group which hasn't been active lately - so where are you? If enough of us are close together - maybe we can meet up for whatever... or not Enjoyed meeting Opcode and Yurkie at the MGC meeting years ago. Jeff

You 'young' folks are finally getting it as far as I'm concerned!!! Can't beat my old high scores now! Maybe we should have an over 30 and under 30 category... LOL Or better an "open", Masters 30+ & golden Master 45+ categories

OK - with my (very limited) time I checked my 'bare bones' case and mother board - yup the battery is 'fused' to the contacts. I'll try and get to my main 2000 tomorrow and get that battery out! Thanks for all of the suggestions / tips.

Oh - and running out of room to store them!

I've got 151 homebrews so far. (got 10-15 'in the pipeline') I haven't bought everyone lately - can't afford!!! Highlights include - Kevtris Bustin-out 1 & 2 Canadian Game Compilation Gamepad 13-1 Jeepers Creepers Ms. Space Fury Pac-Man Collection (yellow cart) Star Com (limited release) Steamroller Track & Field 2 Mr. Chin (with the first release of the instruction manual - something J.F would like to forget ) Would still like to own: 421 Amazing snake Bustin-out #3 - original release (was it?) Maze Maniac

Let's see - I have 49 original games CIB. 1 O2 CIB, 1 O2, 1 Voice, 28 Videopac games (6 CIB) and 3 homebrews.

Glad you decided to offer more - just bought one.

Thanks. When I have time I'll try these things out. Battery - Uhmm haven't fiddle with that - may have replaced it years ago - but to be safe I'll check it out.

"I'm a colecovision theft..." Please provide me your location so that I can 'unburden' you from your cartridges overages... LOL

OK - how to start this... (my first topic...been a 'member' here since 1998). Booted my Amiga 2000HD about 11 months ago and well... long story short the HD failed... I was really bummed and have followed the threads here - but... sorry I haven't 'worked' on a 2000HD in 15 years... I DO NOT recall what I should do...pretty sure the drive is DEAD... I just want to play the games from the past... Over the years people have donated a bunch of 'stuff' to me (that I have 'no clue' to what the boards do.. bunch of stuff - ask me if you care....) I'm ready to pull out an A500 and 'start over'... And even that is a huge deal to me... I think I have a A500 hard drive... Working 7 days a week leaves me very little time to apply my time to an old hobby... Any help / encouragement would be helpful... Thanks Jeff31 - love the Amiga / ColecoVision PS - IF any replies - give me a few to respond - I don't always check these threads for responses... thanks

OK - being a 'coleco only' collector... I've purchased 'new' 2600, 5200 and 7800 games... (and colecovision games - not all - I can't afford!!) Consider yourself lucky!!! 15-40 games put out every year at 50-60 bucks each!!! just sayin...

Per you question... On the left side of the unit - it looks like a 5-1/4 disk drive unit - Yes? If not - what is it????

One can only hope!!! LOL The ladies here might beat us to a pulp however..

Well I like "half-naked boobs" (UMMH - NOT) - sorry ladies! Yes on volume 3...! Thought that this was very rare...

5-1/4 drive slot...? very interesting to say the least Do you have Adam software to try? Wow want to hear from NIAD and others on this... will give you a $1.00 to sell to me... Jeff31

OK - forgive me If you are not from this planet.... Upgrades happen ALLLLL the time... Well who knows - as you said this is a hobby market... and yes it sucks that you had to wait so long... this is NOT a BILLION dollar based company.... (well Ed does go to Brazil often - LOL - maybe he's got money! LOL - NOTTTTTT (get you wife to the states!!!) I bought 2 SGM's thinking that this was it! Use one and a backup.. Now one is 'worthless' but I'm glad I have it - Will probably get the 'Pro' also. And now Collectorvision is releasing earlier games by Daniel B. making my originals 'less' valuable. Before maybe a 1000 people interested - now maybe 10 if I wanted to sell... That's life - ups and downs. Enjoy the CV and all the new publishers bring... And don't get me wrong - I have my 'beefs' also. Jeff31
