    The infamous reason as to why the Telegames Colecovision clone system became rare, is the “tornado in Texas destroys warehouse” story. And one of the reasons why the clone system was slightly desirable, was because it could also play Sega SG-3000 cards.

    in fact it is compatible with Sega SG-1000 carts. 

     

    The computer Sega SC-3000  can also play Sega SG-1000 carts  but the opposite is not true.

    Looking for someone to homebrew me a donkey kong junior cassette game for the Adam's computer I want a case and instruction for it to. How much you want? Here's is the rom file to get to work?

    Donkey Kong Junior Super Game (1984) (Coleco) (5 Screen Rev. 14 Prototype).ddp 256 kB · 2 downloads

    What you mean by "homebrew me"?

     

    It is not simpler to get the original cassette?

     

    hum..ok.. it is a prototype , i just see the complete name.   But not clear what you want exactly?

     

    Put it on a tape and print instruction and jaquette?

    This is exactly it.  The club is a very poor value if you remove the "free" game from the equation.  If you took the game out of the listing, who would pay 75€ just for a magazine, sticker, and miniature?  So basically, it's not really a free game.  It's part of the club package, which requires people to meet certain prerequisites in order to receive it.  The questions and confusion here in this thread are enough to indicate that this is an ill-conceived offering.  As I stated before, it is unnecessarily complicated and it will ultimately result in less people joining the club, but I guess maybe that is what they want.

     

    It is not one magazine .. it is 4 magazines per year .  And it is not a little magazine it is at least 40 pages.  and i don't count the other things .

     

    If you are just interested by a game , the club is not for you , i would say.   Keep your money and buy a game.

     

    and i'm sure that when you will see that the club members will receive this year :

    1- you will regret to not be a member this year.

    2- you will jump on next year offer.

     

    I ready to bet.  :)

     

    You can not imagine what Coté-Gamers is able to do.

     

    And the price is 40 euros.    (the rest is shipping cost nothing that will come in the pocket of Coté Gamer)   ...   Less than the price of one game!

     

    The game is totally Free for members with 3 games ...  it is just a club advantage. 

     

    I don't know how club use to be in the US or in other countries,   but in France  CLUBs work like that.  When you are a CLUB Member you have access to certain things and other things under condition.

     

    I still remember un Music Club i was member in the 80s.  Each month i received a magazine and badges , i could order Music Tape   and each 5 tapes i ordered i could have a Free one as i was club member.  that's exacly the same principle.

    I'll play devil's advocate, to maybe help better vocalize the "issues" others have stated.  

     

    So Cote Gamers...is advertising/offering/selling a club membership...which includes all sorts of club things...including a magazine, membership card, and the likes.  Then there is the additional mention of an "exclusive free game"...if a "club member" owns 3 of their other games.  

     

    What a perspective game collectors reads is...to get this "exclusive game" that I want to own (and I could care less about the "club items," magazine, membership card and the likes), I have to pay 75€ (40€ subscription + 30€ shipping + 5€ covering paypal transaction fees)...plus own 3 other Cote Gamers games...for this one "exclusive game."  

     

     

     

    So Cote Gamers is selling a "club" and offering a free game to members with 3 other games...but what buyers are looking at, is they have to pay for this club (that maybe they don't care about), plus own 3 other games...just to have a chance to own this one other exclusive game.  

     

    As a person who no longer cares about collectible memorabilia, magazines, or trinkets...that's how I see it.  Now again, I understand that you are selling a club, and the purpose of the club, is the memorabilia, and the magazine, and the trinkets...but I'm sure there are others like me...who are interested in games...and not the collectibles.  

     

    Please note, I'm not angry, or upset about what you are doing, or offering...I'm just trying to help all those understand, why some may be upset with this, as previously posted.  

    Yes exactly, Coté Gamers is selling a CLUB here,  not a game.    i think a little like Opcode does  with his Opcode's club .  he does not offer game with his club?

     

    The difference is that Coté Gamers offer lot of more in his club . (and explain why it is a little more expensive ,   but unfortunately a big part of the cost is shipping, because there will be 4 shipping a year (tanuki confirm?) and Coté Gamers ships from France.

    I thought I read that members this year did not need to have 3x games for the free game - is that correct?

    no, to have the free game you have to own 3x games .  But not necessary at the moment you apply to the club.  If you get the 3 games during the year where you are member , you can have the free game.

    Well, they lost my business.  I really wanted to join, but I don't have 3 of their games... I guess they don't like new customers.  

    You don't need to have the 3 games to join the club.

     

    The 3 games are just required to have the free game.

     

    If you are a colecovision fan, even without the free game, you will have great value for your money.

    I can't get on board with the 3 game minimum.  This whole thing just seems unnecessarily convoluted.  How many speculators do you really think are trolling the AtariAge forums looking to spend 75€ for a future mystery game that may or may not have any value on the secondhand market?

     

    To each their own I guess, but I'm not going to support this model.

    the 75 euros are to be member of the club (with the magazines , goodies , etc...)    , the game is a bonus offered for free under the condition you have (or will have during the membership duration) at least three of coté Gamers's Colecovision games. 

    when i read you , i have the feeling you think you buy a "mystery" game for 75 euros...  that's not the case at all. It would be far to expensive for a simple game!!!

    For 75 euros you are Member of Coté Gamers Colecovision club and you have access to all the advantages, gifts , mag and others surprises...  including a free game.

     

    But Tanuki can surely explain better than me.   At least it is how i have understood things. :)

     

    *edit:  did you notice also that in fact the subscription to the club is only 40 euros (the rest is shipping cost...)

    Resolutions are now much higher.  640x400 px versus now typical 1920x1080px . So big res. is very hard to solve quality with analog technology, and that would cost a lot.

    What i would love is real monochrome display.   i would love a 1920x1080 in real monochrome. (not shade of grey) ... just as the Atari St or the first Mac were...  Pixel can be White or Black nothing else.

    It was so comfortable to work with.   (of course we need application designed for that mode)

    Our versions of Uwol and ababol were not available for free on Coleco since the games have been entirely reworked, improved etc.
    For the games of Nanochess, if he wants to make the roms available at the same time, we have no problem with that.

    the rom is already available in this thread :)
