    You have to get PEPPER II And Donkey Kong Jr, both are very common and very easy to get!

     

    Pepper II is one of my favorite games on the ColecoVision and arcade.

     

    There are so many second tier arcade titles translated to the CV that are really good: Venture, Mouse Trap, Frenzy, Carnival, Cosmic Avenger, Space Fury, Slither, Ladybug, Roc N Rope and Subroc. And all of those are relatively common.

     

    I guess I'll have to look out for those then! :P (except for the roller controller ones, can't really do that sadly :( )

    Thanks for reassuring me on my selection! :D

     

    Yeah, my situation with the controllers is weird, I don't have any room on my desk for anything. The Coleco is on a shelf so I can't really have anything big attached to it. I should hack up an extension cord for the extension module if I want to get a driving controller :P

     

    I was eyeing Retrocade.... That looks really neat! I'll make sure to buy an issue.

    Okay, got a Colecovision in full working condition from that other store. It's a bit bad off cosmetically, the expansion module door seems to have been lodged open for years, and it won't go down. The metal around the expansion module is rusty. Other than that, I'm having a blast with it.

    Well.. I know Yurkie has a disclaimer he'd rather people send him Coleco's if possible so he can save as many as possible.. and I'm sure he doesn't have an endless supply in his area either!

    Here's one from Steve at Atarimax for $50 if he still has it.

    Hm... I might look into getting that broken one then. Depending on if they let me have it, of course. That Atarimax one looks really good though.

    How much was it? You can get a fully modded one from Yurkie in a couple days for $179 (rebuilt controllers, straightened cords, ball knobs, fast bios, pause button, rebuilt power switch etc fully cleaned and tested) ... Check out his videos.. chances are if you just "find" one it needs work anyway.

     

    4jays.net has them listed for $90 with no mods.

     

    It was $75 there, and I'll be looking around a bit more. I'm likely going to be getting an unmodded Coleco and sending it into Yurkie.

     

    You might want to talk to Yurkie first. Depending on the price you pay for the damaged colecovision and his services it could end up costing you more than just getting one from him that he has already modded.

     

    Well I don't know if they were selling the broken one specifically since they were using it as a display model in the window. There's another big retro game store nearby so I'll check it out later this week.
