Exactly!!! People that didnt had the chance to have a MSX when were kids, now can have the pleasure to play the games as adults and the best: without having to buy a new console and the very expensive games for it!

I think you are missing some points... Let me explain a few things, first of all I dont know if you are a programmer but if you are not (like me) I can tell you that porting a arcade game takes muuuuuuch more effort and time than a MSX game, for example, the time Ed is making 1 arcade game he can make MANY msx ports, will it be the same thing? NO, we know the nostalgia appeal that an arcade port has, BUT, (you should know that it's me who takes care of the 2 emails Opcode has + my own) I receive every single week emails from people asking for this and that game, and to everyone's surprise, it's NOT only arcade that they ask for! Yeah, I know, it's a shock...! It only means that people want GAMES for their beloved ColecoVision, they not NECESSARILY want ONLY arcade ports. Second, Ed created the Super Game Module in 2012 and everybody said that it was a big bad idea, he released the SGM anyway and guess what, when people saw the power that it has they were "OMG I NEED IT!". The result is more than 700 SGM delivered, 3 runs, coming to a 4th, with a new model that people also got crazy about, AND more than 350 names on the waiting list for the SUPER GAME MODULE PRO. So, yeah, after all that I dont think the SGM was a bad idea after all.... adding that it does exactly what it promises in the box, not more than that. Last and not least, complementing the first topic, let me explain one more thing, a "behind the scenes" thing, The Opcode today is Ed + me, I'm a graphic designer so I know nothing about programming for video games and I also know nothing about electronics, so he is the only one that can do ALL about this two parts. I think everybody knows that Ed was the guy behind most of the SGM releases until today, and it takes TIME to make. On January/2016 I joined Opcode and we revived it, since this day HE DIDN'T STOP until the last week of December. Ed is the only programmer that Opcode has. From January until today he has made games for CollectorVision + Opcode + SCART SGM modifications + all the SGM PRO project + many other stuffs, besides programming Penguin Adventure, Gradius with lots of improvements (have u played it? It's f** awesome with all modifications he made!), Warp&Warp, Bosconian, Tank Battalion, and many more games that he already started! (All this in 1 year!). Honestly, I dont think ANYBODY could do better or more than he did. And I'm not telling as his wife, but how the only person that really see all the struggle behind the scenes! If he had made only arcade ports or original games we would'n be able to deliver half of it, and I would receive even more messages asking for games people have played in other platforms when they were kids.. And about Warp&Warp, what would be the point having +700 modules in the houses all over the world and do not make your games to work with it? Hope you understand that it's not about the money, it's about all the messages we receive by email/FB page, twitter, etc, of people asking us to make the games that they used to play when they were kids and would love to see it been released by our hands. (quoting a guy that message us a few time ago). That's the purpose of Opcode.

Donkey Kong requires a bigger amount of work to be perfect and it's not ready yet, but we want it to be one of the first games to be released this year (Premium line) with SGM PRO features. For those who made the pre-order on jan/2016 don't worry, your special edition is safe and sound (both refunded and not refunded).

Hi guys, Our vacation just came to an end and this week we will return with full power!

I will work on it

I see, I'm not an illustrator, I'm a graphic designer, so about the illustration what I can do is to make some composition of images that already exists. And what about the cover style, do you already have one in mind? Spiderman uses the Parker Brothers style...

Ok, I have some ideas here. Which style do you prefer for the back of the box? The front: the only tricky thing is the illustration, we would have to make a composition or something.. do you have any images of dodgeball you have already selected or am I free to chose one? Label: Just little space adjustments to make.

Wow this is amazing! Rly! I design the OpcodeGames boxes/labels/etc (ColecoVision). If you need someone to develop the art box, labels, manuals, etc, I would be glad to help!

Wow like the project! I design the OpcodeGames boxes/labels/etc (ColecoVision). If you need someone to develop the art box, labels, manuals, etc, you can count on me!

Hi Ben, are you still working on this project? I make the boxes/labels/etc for OpcodeGames (ColecoVision) and I work specially with vectors =) If you need anything I would be glad to help! BTW, have a very Merry Christmas! ^^

It may be possible to work on a composition of some images since you want it with a specific look. I make cover boxes/labels/etc for OpcodeGames (ColecoVision). Can you provide more info about the game/project? Maybe we can work together

Hi guys, my name is Grazi and I'm from Brazil. Here in Brazil it's really difficult for collectors to find original game boxes, and when we find one it's not always in good conditions. So people love to buy repro boxes for their games, and the closer of the original, the better! The thing is, i'm moving to US and I would like to continue this work, but I'm still getting into your culture, so I would like to know if you guys like this kind of work, if you use to buy it, etc.. how do you like it? I already made game boxes for: Sega Genesis, SNES, NES, ATARI, N64, MASTER SYSTEM, GBA, GBC. And now I have this project of start making consoles/handhelds boxes also. You can see in the image below that I'm working on a GBC Yellow box, 100% vectorized (except the screenshots), and now I'm treating the background image in Photoshop. So I think the result will be really nice!!! I used to make repro boxes a long time ago, like this: (this material is different from what I'm using now) And this is an exemple of the new material I found: Now, few years later, I have studied Graphic Designer and I'm able to make a better job, because now I can improve the image so much more too. Just remembering, the images are not downloaded from websites and printed, they receive a long Photoshop treatment, and many icons and texts are all new (vector). So I would really appreciate if you guys could give some feedback of what you would like to see in terms of REPRO BOXES, like, 100% loyal to the original, custom version, etc. Just tell me

I'm ready for Christmas! Started to play The Last Guardian yesterday! Mannnnn, it's good! Next will be Until Down. PSN: GraziGamerXD
