ALCAZAR TELEGAMES PACKAGING QUESTION
TheCurlyBard replied to Neogeoman's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
Hello! This all sounds very likely. Telegames shipped games in all sorts of boxes, the original run would include a normal cardboard box but they would frequently use those red or green plastic clamshells when they ran out, with a photocopied cover and manual. I don't know if anyone has ever compiled a list of verified box variants to check this for sure, but I'm confident you have a genuine box that the game left Telegames inside off, although it's not the original cardboard one that collectors often prefer.

Fireworks Factory - Official Ordering Thread
TheCurlyBard replied to scalpel's topic in ColecoVision / Adam
How long do I have to get an order in for a classic? Is there a cut off date or number? I need to buy a Pheonix, and some of those power adapters, it's an expensive time right now! Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Yeah it must be people that can't afford it now but do want one. I only recently got my Coleco fully working properly but the Pheonix is too daft too pass up. At some point I'm gonna want an SD reader and an SGM, so may as well get this. Real shame about the Kickstarter, as I think with more time or more publicity it could have made it. I feel the overall complaints from people were the market is awash with NES mini cash ins, and things like the At Games controversy and of course the Chameleon still fresh in people's minds, really hurt the project. Still, looking forward to owning one regardless. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Looks like there is a new pledger in for 10, which would push it up a bit. Does seem like a decent jump in the number if backers as well though. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Like the guy who says he could build his own from scratch for $50.. I was tempted to argue with him, but I don't have the energy right now. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Pretty strong recommendation from John there. Hope it pulls in the pledges. Saw Metal Jesus talking about it on Twitter today as well. Really hope this funds Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -

Is there a video of the Sydney Hunter game? I'd like to help out, but can't commit the cash to the console atm, but would be interested in just the game. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
Ok so I would guess licensed. It's missing the familiar silver label so I never clocked it as theirs. Was there anybody else doing this with Coleco games, other than Telegames and the mysterious Taiwan Cooper? Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Well the is an interesting variant, not seen anything like this. A vintage knock off? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302917949260 Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

There is main thread about it here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/261997-new-power-supplies-for-the-colecovision/?view=getnewpost Tldr: preorders are being taken imminently:) Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
Wow, so good to see it repaired, so many faults would have seen it in the landfill for most people. My own power switches turned up tonight, which means I can finally play with a clean picture, and get the thing reassembled! Really looking forward to seeing it all it's Russian suitcase nuke 80s splendour.
