i don't understand the obsession with "add on" to improve the console. If you find your colecovision not enough powerful , just play on sega master system for instance or a megadrive. I think programmers who are "obsessed" with "stock colecovision" like me . It is just because the challenge is more interesting. What programmers loves in retro programming is to jungle with limitation of a machine.

I 'm waiting this game since 30 years!!! 😀

Despite the Atari has been sold in France, i have never meet somebody who owned one back in time. (except me! I bought one in a used computer shop for almost nothing in 1986, and still have that one!). But i know in some european country like in Poland where it has been very popular. In France , after 1984 almost everybody owning a 8bits had a Amstrad CPC... i was almost alone with my C64!😀

It is because they reused case from French "Minitel" a terminal for Teletext. If you are interrested in the "minitel" story , the "French internet" from 1980... there is an article in english here https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-18610692

I'm impressed by the smooth movement when you rotate the items 👍 How you did that? you jungle between sprites and characters? when you rotate the items are sprites and the white selection is characters? in other cases it is the opposite ? Very nice.

i agree with you concerning sounds ( however i prefer the theme (Magnetic Field from Jean Michel harre) in colecovision version which not the one from arcade but same as C64 version. ) But in term of gameplay i don't share your opinion. The colecovision is really closer to the arcade version then the SG 1000 one.

Bomb Jack on Colecovision do NOT require the SGM.

i think the existing colecovision of Bomb Jack is way better than the SG1000 version.

I think the idea of IBM WAS to have a port of CP/M for their PC. In addition CP/M has been release also for IBM PC in the 80's. But was more expensive than MSDOS for almost the same thing... I suggest you (and the others) looks to this very interesting video :

I'm a fan of C64 but i wouldn't recommend it as "out of box" computer to start with retro computing. The standard Basic is too limited , of course you can use some other basic like the Excellent Simon's Basic , but it is not in standard. Reliability it really depends on the C64.... you can be lucky or not... concerning the Game library , i think it hard to find better than the C64's one. And there is also lot of modern device to improve your experience with that machine. So in general, i would say the C128 is a better choice if you want do BASIC. and as it is also backward compatible with the C64 , it is a very good choice. But in general if i would suggest a good "out of the box" machine for retro computing / Gaming , i would go for an MSX or even better (but more expensive) an MSX 2. These machines are really reliable , there is lot of choice in term of brand, look etc... The Microsoft Basic on them is really good , there a very big game library with very good games. And lot of game on cartridge also. And the community is still extremely active! Another very good machine would be the Amstrad CPC . I would go for CPC 6128 or a CPC6128+ to have a disk drive and 128k. the locomotiv basic on these machine is also really good , the game library is also big and there are lot quality games. And also the community is very active. (mainly in spain and France )

you 're a <censored> ! 🤬🤬🤬 😄

My next game will be "The Jedi Smurf strike back!" 😀

ordered too looking foward to have it!... may be i will manage finally to do a good game!

Indeed the Vic 20 version looks very good

I prefer the C64 version than the XL one.

I think the console that disappointed me the most is the Atari Jaguar. I was expecting too much of it back in time. There are some good games but the first one i played give me a very bad impression. It was super cross 3D....

😉

This adaptation seems to be based on the C64 version instead of the original apple 2 version. Looks very well done! But no surprise with Nanochess. 😀

Being associal has a big advantage right now . Don't need a cave...

I think we can do with however some compromises on a stock colecovision also. Could be an interesting challenge. But , if somebody tries , please put an option to change the colour of the "purple smurf"... in the original Comics , the "purple" smurf are "Black smurf". i have always been shocked to see them purple in your countries.... just crazy... why Darth Vader is not purple? If you are interested why the smurf are purple in your countries , this article is very interesting , it is in french but i guess you can translate with google (right click on the page , and choose "translate to English") http://marsam.graphics/les-schtroumpfs-noirs-une-oeuvre-raciste/

😄

The Castle has been already released for Colecovision , i think it is by Collectorvision.

looking forward for the physical edition! 😀

i could eventually swap one of my Risky Rick Copy with the 2020 Game of Collectorvision , if you are interested and if you have the game.

Knowing that this game is a 32k game and does NOT require an SGM.... Did you try to contact ArcadeVision , to ask them?
