  1. Did you ever mention what you had on the back burner that you had been sitting on since last year's Midwest Gaming Classic?

    Actually I think this is everything now. There's one more surprise to come (hopefully) but it's not something 'new'.

     

    Tempest

     

     

    I'm guessing that means you've found an additional WIP for an existing game?


  2. Let's say I haven't kept up on the forums and noticed the fervor over the reproduction of an unreleased game. Sheesh, bunch of stuff flying under the radar. Did you ever mention what you had on the back burner that you had been sitting on since last year's Midwest Gaming Classic?


  3. Can we talk about the game itself - the fact that it's been found after being lost for 29 years???
    Because it's not the real one. The owner of that ONE machine is too paranoid to do anything with it.

     

    And it was so close to being released, too :(

     

    I thought there were three of them...not one.


  4. I'd be interested if there is a second batch made. I'd like to see video of the game play.

     

    That Pink Panther game also looks cool. Was that game ever reproduced?

     

    Pink Panther has not been reproduced...the prototype was put on eBay a few times but the auction was never completed.

     

     

     

    Is there a video of the gameplay of Power Lords on Youtube? I think that would be something the community would like to see even if they never get the chance to actually play the game.


  5. If you've seen this video as played by the DK3 world champion,

    at stage 159 the game repeats the first board over and over and over again does not advance to the other two boards.

     

    What is unknown is this...since many arcade games do weird stuff at stage 256...or as some say...STAGE ZERO...what happens on a DK3 machine if stage 256 is reached? Does the game have a true killscreen or go back to normal and cycle thru the three boards again? Apparently no one has played the game that far and the DK3 Twin Galaxies high score record holder does not know the answer.

     

    Anyone wish to tackle this with MAME to find out the answer? Be sure to video tape the results!


  6. Even if someone made a CV Tempest homebrew, what controller are you going to play it with? I mean there is no analog paddle-type controller available, and the stock CV controller just won't cut it.

     

    Right, good point

     

    I think the ideal solution would be to make a CV adapter that would let you use Atari paddle controller, ... not sure if it can be done though... :ponder:

     

     

    What about Coleco's Roller Controller? Roll left, roll right...and however fast you need.


  7. hit a garage sale today. Selling some NES games. Picked up Urban Champion, Castlevania, Ice Climber and Stack Up. Dont have R.O.B. the robot to use with Stack Up.....but that was not my intentions when buying the game. Simply wanted the Famicom converter inside. Not bad for a total of 5 bucks.

     

    Stack Up is a rare title...you might wanna leave that one intact.


  8. Well it is the second Colecovision I have found! I regretted not buying the other I saw years ago at a thrift store!my friend is going to send his out to me too! So, today with black Friday, I found an N64 working for $1.50 2 Coleco Gemini Controllers for 2.00 and unrelated but I found a leather golf bag for $1.50 and a Sinatra 8 Track for my car. My local gaming store was having a black friday sale buy one get one free on used so, I bought 6 games (2 Bond) and rainbow 6, etc. for $15!

     

     

    Roanoke, VA - Goodwill off US Alt 220/460 has a bunch of not all that common Colecovision titles for sale - Frenzy, Sub-Roc, Victory etc. and a steering wheel for it.

     

    I don't have a Coleco...so good luck heading out there to get them. Had some N64 titles as well.


  9. Here's a difference that you can see - plug in a game that uses joysticks then plug in the paddle controller and try to move around - the fire buttons control the left and right movement - the knob does nothing. Plug in the driving controller - the fire button fires but turning the knob you can only move up and down. There ya go.
