    I was really looking forward to Venture for 7800, did any further work happen on the WIP?
  2. SearsRoebuck
    Hey this is driving me nuts trying to figure out how to do this, but can someone tell me how to activate the 'Frogger' easter egg title screen? I've seen it in a couple videos but never saw a discussion as to how you get it.

    Looks interesting, I do see a Sega CD gun game in the stack of games tested, so that bodes well for the SMS. Really hope this thing could work for ALL light gun games, and I include the even more obscure ones like the 7800 titles.
  4. SearsRoebuck
    For me to completely switch to something like an OLED, they'd have to find a solution for light guns. I've seen a few different attempts at solving this, but not enough people care about these games in general and I think beyond Duck Hunt interest hasn't been all that great. I am especially a big fan of the light gun games released for the Master System, but there probably isnt enough SMS fans to even bother trying.

    Yeah its easy to go down a deep rabbit hole with wanted titles - I am mostly thinking about semi popular titles that never had good contemporary ports, Mr Do is high on that list. Another one for me would be Gaplus/Galaga 3. Some of the ones OpCode is talking about doing re-releases I didnt think are too bad. LadyBug for the CV is a solid port (but I would buy your version anyway), and I thought Time Pilot wasnt horrible. Then there is the super obscure stuff that I just want because I like them. I like the game Itazura Tenshi (Lovely Angel), a very obscure Nichibutsu title, but its maybe too much of a niche title.

    Good to hear! another redo/port I'd like to see are a more vectorish friendly port of Space Fury and especially it's quasi sequel, Zektor, a favorite of mine.
  7. SearsRoebuck
    I love the ideas for ports, but IMO one that badly needs a redo, as I dislike ALL of it's 8-bit ports is Mr. Do. The CV version is passable but lackluster. The SNES one is the only port of it that was any good, but I would prefer a port on an 8 bit system.

    Personally, I feel like the 'ultimate' solution would actually be newly manufactured CRT tvs/monitors, catering to the retro market, with perhaps some more modern features. There are drawbacks, mentioned by the reply, in taking an analog system and running it through a digital output, and I feel like the downsides aren't worth it. At the same time, I totally sympathize with not wanting to have giant hulking 100 pound monitors or TV sets. I use small CRTs with my set up (13 and 14 inchers so they can fit on a desk) and those suckers are still 25-35 pounds. But this is a much larger philosophical question, probably way outside the scope of this thread.

    Is the s-video/composite side part being ordered in that batch as well? Sorry if I missed something, the discussion got so technical for me in the last few pages I had trouble following it.
  10. SearsRoebuck
    I think Bob said something about Defender ? (just to note Bob - I didn't buy the colecovision version of it in anticipation of your port ?)
  11. SearsRoebuck
    PM Sent! Now if only I can get something similar going with the Intellivision...
  12. SearsRoebuck
    In the earlier WIP videos attract mode only seems to show a game demo, are the ghost 'intros' something that had to be sacrificed? If this new collection had the intros/ms pac man marquee 'and starring ms pac man' bits that would be perfection as far as arcadey-ness goes. The other suggestion someone brought up earlier was the possibility of a 'Tengen' style ending instead of a kill screen? I just went through the thread again to make sure I didnt miss any updates, and it's funny that Bob mentions why he's including the 'popeye' bootleg - one of the first pac-mans I ever saw when I was about 4 years old was the 'piranha' bootleg - perhaps a bit too obscure to include in this!
  13. SearsRoebuck
    Will def be pre-ordering in that case!
  14. SearsRoebuck
    One cool feature from the original Pac Man Collection that I liked (that I didnt see on the video) was that when you selected a game in the menu but didnt actually start it, it would go into that game's attract mode - which is why I asked about Ms Pac Man's marquee lights.(nice to see them in the menu) But it was also neat to see Pac Man Plus's attract, being such a rare title. Does the new one still have the attracts?
  15. SearsRoebuck
    Thanks guys, that would be great if that would be possible, in fact it was similar to what I had in mind (though I lack the tech know-how). When it comes to classic gaming, I am a 'consumer grade CRT only' type, and S-video is the best I can do with my TV.
  16. SearsRoebuck
    Hey this all looks fantastic! This may sound strange considering RGB's superiority to it, but is there a chance this could help with a (true) s-video out for the CV? With my setup, S-video is the best I can do, and even with a (very nice) composite modded cv, there is still some blurriness on some games with small text.
  17. SearsRoebuck
    This will sound silly, but one reason I held off on buying the original was because there was a technical reason (?) why the marquee intro in Ms. Pac Man didn't have the moving lights - is it still not possible to add this? It's just a favorite arcade intro of mine so I have the NES Tengen version as my Ms Pac Man 'representative' instead.
  18. SearsRoebuck
    I sent an email about a 5th run but havent gotten any kind of reply...
  19. SearsRoebuck
    Do you have them? If so I may send you my controllers when 'we're ready'.
  20. SearsRoebuck
    Can another run of these be done for those of us who missed them? I am interested in Bosconian and Penguin Adventure at least.
  21. SearsRoebuck
    Hey I loved what I see of alot of Collectorvision releases - but many of the ones I would like to buy are long gone! Does Collectorvision ever do 2nd/3rd runs of older games? Because there are a number I'd love to stock up on.
  22. SearsRoebuck
    Hey all, getting back into Colecovision after a few years away, and I was told that Yurkie retired from modding, so I would not be able to get his nice controller ball tops again. So I am wondering if anyone either knows what he used for these, or has a comparable solution that is something like them. I really liked the ones that I had (and I regret selling them) and would like that set up again
  23. SearsRoebuck
    One that I saw on AtariProtos that interested me was Loco-Motion. Did that one ever get released at some point?
  24. SearsRoebuck
    I have two of these, and the quality has continually gotten better. I held off for a long time because of no dip switch settings, and although I did break down and ended up buying a TMNT, which lacks them, I was pleasantly surprised with Star Wars having the full selection of dips for all 3 games. IMO it is their best release to date. The Burgertime one looks interesting, but I think going forward, dip switches are going to be a non negotiable for me. I understand they were considering doing X-Men too, which I think I would also get. Just wish we'd see upgraded versions of some of the older cabs. I wanted to get Galaga, an early release, but not just with Galaga + Galaxian. Wish they'd rerelease it with new firmware and maybe make it a 4 in 1 with Galaga, Galaxian, Gaplus and Galaga 88.
  25. SearsRoebuck
    Well, if you ever want some ideas, beyond the much requested Pac & Pal (which I'd also buy), one game I'd love to see done someday for the 7800 as it never had a port that I know of, is Gaplus/Galaga 3. Not sure if the 7800 could do it, but it would be an impressive effort. If only I could program I probably would have already done it myself. The 7800 is absolutely underrated for these arcade conversions. When I saw the Jr Pac Man some years ago I was blown away by the attract mode being intact.
