EDIT: I went into my mailbox and the same person replied saying "A 32GB card is the biggest it will support".  I'm quite perplexed...

You have to read between the lines: It's their way of saying "lol 1 second wtf big deal".

This would just give me the kick in the pants I need to move forward with the project, as I have nearly zero love for Slither.

Y'know, perhaps a similar controller with a rotary dial would be fun. It could be used with several CV games, such as Carnival, Destructor, Flipper Slipper, Gyruss, Omega Race, Pitstop, River Raid, Skiing, Space Fury, Star Trek, Strike It, Threshold, Turbo, Victory, as well as CollectorVision's Arkanoid, and perhaps even Team Pixelboy's Asteroids. But all those games would have to be hacked to support the rotary dial (even Turbo, for tweaking purposes). Galaxian and Beamrider could be adapted too, but they'd likely play a little weird compared to the originals. Sorry for the slight highjack of this thread, just thinking out loud.

Please note, that these are not snarky or condescending questions/comments at all...I am genuinely curious. 

Is someone considering making a custom trackball controller at some point in the future...?   

 

[Zombie Calavera Prologue]

Very nice!   

[Steve Pitman's Micro Chip]

Yeah, Adam Bomb 2 would be nice too. 

 

[Steve Pitman's Micro Chip]

A friend was telling me earlier tonight how he's recently become addicted to solving Nanogram puzzles like Mario's Picross. He told me this would make a nice ColecoVision game, and I told him that someone (namely Steve Pitman) did such a game on the Adam:

 

 

Has anyone considered porting this to a MegaCart cartridge? 

 

It's true that you'd need some way to save your progress on the cart. A password system wouldn't work very well, I think. Perhaps the 64K Activision PCB with its EEPROM feature?

Alright, so in this case, it would be point-the-laser-and-click.   

[Which movies should have a game?]

I think Logan's Run would make a great point-and-click game.

It takes 13:42 minutes to run around your waist? Man, you need to go on a diet, STAT!

Okay, interesting.

I also have photos from Time Pilot 84 (Time Pilot SuperGame)

Time Pilot 84 in the arcades was the sequel to Time Pilot, and while it was interesting and fun, it looked very little like the original. I doubt Coleco had that arcade game in mind when they planned to do Time Pilot Super Game. I would have expected the same game as the Coleco release, but with the addition of the flying saucer level.

 

[SGM Games on the ADAM]

You should ask Opcode to send you a test e-mail, just to see if it's being blocked, or maybe sent to their/your spam folder.

 

[Zombie Incident gameplay]

I can jump way higher than that when I play under blueMSX or CoolCV. You better check your input configuration to see what happens when you hold down the jump button.

I was wondering if this game will come up for sale again? Thanks

That's up to CollectorVision at this point.

Whether you're into segmented LCD, earlier red LED stuff, Gameboy, Tiger R-Zone or Game.com, weird japanese handhelds, whatever, it just would be a nice place to have.  It would be easier to discuss, share reviews, info, anything.

Don't forget homebrewing. 

 

[ColecoVision Super Action Controllers]

I didn't know they sold this as a single controller. I guess I'll have to track this box down in order to make a trading card with it.

[Atarisoft Ms. Pac-Man Prototype]

The original proto with sound and no title screen is still the property of Sean Kelly, as far as I know.

However, if on the other hand some modern day programmer created or hacked together the sound for the rom file, then it would be classified as a Homebrew game.

I classify my version as a homebrew because I had it altered to add a proper title screen. The original prototype (with sound but no title screen) is the "unreleased CV proto".

 

[SGM Games on the ADAM]

No idea. I never kept up with this kind of stuff.

 

[SGM Games on the ADAM]

A board with only the AY-3-8910 should work for most games (not sure if you can map the SGM's sound ports to the pins on an ADAM expansion card though) but the SGM has a feature to run in "full 32K of RAM" mode, meaning that the Coleco BIOS is replaced with 8K of RAM, and you won't get that feature with a sound-chip-only board. I know Gauntlet runs in this mode, not sure if there are any others (probably very few).
