Just received my copy of Pac-man Collection a couple of days ago and it seems I haven't put it down yet. I have Ms. Pac-Man on almost every system and on M.A.M.E. but there's something about playing it on a Colecovision that's just fascinating. Thank you Eduardo.

Tron would be so cool since there is a new movie in the works and I loved the arcade game. I agree. F Sinistar. Tron: a game that has never been ported in its entirety to a home console now can be had with the ColecoVision 2 console. Simply brilliant. It doesn't get any better than that. A faithful port of Tron would be a sure thing and the timing is perfect. Gamers would buy the console just to have Tron. History repeating itself: see Atari's 2600 Space Invaders release and Coleco's Donkey Kong pack-in port. With Tron, everything lines up perfectly. Hope you are planning on packing in a special controller too, would be pretty tough to replicate the Tron experience with the regular CV controller. Maybe something like this: Maybe what you could do is use the second controller port for a spinner. Two player mode can just share controllers. Make the spinner such that it can be used as a standalone controller with keypad and fire buttons for use with Arkanoid and other paddle games. With that, it would be a cool project down the road for someone to port a whole bunch of paddle games in one cart including Breakout, Clowns, Avalanche, Gee Bee, Bomb Bee, Cutie Q etc... I do see a problem with this setup as MCP Cone requires spinner, joystick and fire button simultaneously. A two controller setup that is mediocre could potentially be disastrous. Add to that is the increase in cost. Another title to consider then is Galaga. With either, you are using the same formula CV did in '82: taking a hugely popular title in Donkey Kong and packing it in with the console. Re: Pac-Man Collection: I know this would be attractive for those that do not yet have PMC. But, I picked up a copy with a production run that was done last summer. Perhaps Eduardo could sub out subsequent production runs. Maybe what could be done is include a discount coupon with the CV2 for any future Opcode game purchase. For example, set an expiration date and make it something like a minimum of %10 off your total purchase from Opcode's WWW site. At the same time, offer a limited edition box set of the Opcode library to coincide with the launch of the CV2. Maybe nothing more than a sealed box containing all the boxed games of the Opcode library. Or a sealed box with just the carts and manuals. Number them and offer at a discount price so that the discount coupon gets better bang for the buck. Establish relationships with vendors like GoodDealGames and Stone Age Gamer to distribute the Opcode product line. Also, vendors to sell the Opcode product line at conventions. Advertise in Classic Video Gamer, Video Game Trader et al. Imagine that - creating more revenue for Opcode. Now, before I get flamed - this is just a brainstorm. And I realize this is just a hobby and with these suggestions you know this is more than what one person can handle. I'm just envisioning that this project could be a lot bigger than we realize. Bigger than the big 3? Hell no - we're talking about the niche that is classic gaming. I think it is bigger than results of the interest survey that was conducted a while back by Eduardo. I have a hunch that interest will increase closer to product completion when the details have been finalized. Either that or I am hopelessly optimistic. I just finished reading this thread. I feel delirious at this point. A CV2, WOW!! count me in. I started a search looking for info on the Pac-Man Collection from Opcode and I tripped onto this. I'm still processing all this info. Well, I'll keep a tab on this thread or any info on the CV2 going forward. Keeping this design simple and powerful at the same time and bagging the rights to the name is brilliant. I'll start passing the word around. Need to start spreading the word if you are to attain sales numbers in the thousands.

Damn! I missed out on everything. Stepped away for a short while, working my Coleco. Nice deal.
