Coleco guys, any info on this blue label "Rocky" cart?
coleconut replied to Simply_Dave's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I'd definitely lean towards Telegames, looks very much like my Jungle Hunt I got from them. -
I have been able to revive 99% of controllers except those with keypad issues. I toss them into a box pending further investigation. But its my understanding that you cant reliably test a diode unless its removed (?) And I dont own a conductive pen (yet)

Super Action Controller reliability if untested

I just have a helluva time taking them apart without breaking those little tabs -
The absolutely rare DK Edition Mark II. Act now and he will buy AND deliver a cable right to your door, But you have to buy the system. Knew there was a catch. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 262812910431
-
Why not for me? Because the free domestic shipping becomes almost $40 to Canada. What is he going to deliver them personally or something? BS.
-
At first glance I thought why doesn't he clean the grime off it
-
No, that was me. As for current value, I watch Ebay for what they typically go for and its all over the place, you can never tell. Some bootlegs appeared earlier this year but they were made with childishly poor labels on repurposed DK carts.

Actually I meant the opposite to be honest. I can make out very well on my French in France but when I go to Quebec, forget it, I understand nothing they are saying. Because my learning is from a text book, not conversation.

Colecovision Homebrew Project Tracker Thread
coleconut replied to TPR's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Yes it is but even $13 USD to ship a Donkey Kong manual or $70 USD to ship a colecovision console is still outrageous and I didnt pick totally bizarre examples, just average ones. -
Where they speak REAL French, n'est-ce pas?

Colecovision Homebrew Project Tracker Thread
coleconut replied to TPR's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I almost swallowed my gum. Yes $12 is at cost for international shipping. On the other foot we in Canada get RAPED on Ebay for shipping here from the US to the point I hardly look there any more. These are daily examples of what we face: -
NICE IDEAS : THE COMPLETE STORYBOARD REVEALED !
coleconut replied to scalpel's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
I am blown away to read this today. Of course my special interest is with the Fireman section, totally awesome to see the Intellivision screen shots. Interesting about the ability to "request" ladders, bridges, tools, etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing this document. -

Parker Bros game in an Activision cart? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 172403986249

I have several of these Spectravideo computers. #1 thing to note is that whereas the power connector has the same pins as the colecovision power supply they are NOT, I repeat NOT the same voltages at all.
-
Sigh...I had one then two, three, now four drives that worked at one time well, then intermittently (often only when warmed up) but all now exhibit this exact same behaviour. Not an alignment issue as no attempt to seek is made, no adjustment of the adjustable capacitors made any difference. All in good cosmetic condition, all power up. None work. So yeah, a "TESTED" drive is tested when it reads, formats, writes when connected to an ADAM without issue and tested does `NOT mean that just the light comes on when plugged in.

Today? Man you are in a time warp. You posted this on Facebook in the GTA/Toronto swap forum 3 weeks ago asking the same question and you got responses there.

`ok half a step back. I don't remember exactly when I got this cart but it was likely almost 10 years ago. Or even more, I seriously don't remember. I am thinking farther back because I actually thought it was an actual Atari release at the time which of course it isn't. Secondly I assume it was ecoleco, it was off eBay from someone in Pearland, TX who was selling a number of this type of thing at the time, ergo I believe to be eColeco. I could be wrong about who the seller was in which case I do not mean to mislead anyone.
-
Coleconut, would it be possible for you to share a photo of what ecoleco's label on this looked like Sure, here it is:
-
Ecoleco used to sell them, I have two so I can let one go for the price I paid. PM me

PM incoming

I'm down to my last 6
