Maybe the well is dry right now, but all the CVs you've fixed/modded may need servicing again eventually. The hardware is very old, after all and despite your great work, stuff breaks or wears out eventually. If there were 100 ColecoVisions here and you've worked on 99 of them...yeah, business is going to slow down...but that doesn't mean it's gone forever. I still have one CV in need of fixing, as well as 10 or so controllers but my bank account is rather empty right now so there's not much I can do about it.

Brings back bitter memories of trying to buy Donkey Kong Jr. at Toys R Us, but the clerk insisted I had the ticket for Donkey Kong and wouldn't give me the DK Jr. box...even though the ticket clearly said Donkey Kong Jr on it. She was going by the skew number which obviously had been mislabeled. Had to go hunt down the manager myself to straighten it out. I was so pissed I never bought anything there again when she was working "the cage".

Man, when I first saw that picture I thought I was looking at my game shelf...very similar in setup, but with ColecoVision, SNES, 2600 and Sega Genesis games. The rest of my games (NES) are in another hutch and in the closet on a 4 shelf bookcase (Sega CD, PlayStation 1 & 2, 3DO, Saturn, Xbox, N64, Gamecube, and Dreamcast). I'm lucky enough to have our third bedroom as a computer and video game room (and potential fire hazard)

My favorite "must play" games are: Sundog: The Frozen Legacy Dungeon Master Oids

Montezuma's Revenge - 88,950 Got lost in the dark!!!

I've made it to the 2nd mountain, but can never figure out how to get to the next. I can't make any sense out of the caves on the 2nd one and it's easy to get lost -- especially with Grog chasing after you. sometimes you just have to flee through a cave to get away from him, not really paying attention to where you are going or what cave took you there.

Montezuma's Revenge - 54,350

Montezuma's Revenge - 36,600 Whew...I'm having problems with this game. I used to breeze right through the first level. Now I've forgotten most of it. Parker Bros. really put out some good games for ColecoVision.

Time Pilot - 54,900

It was added to at least MAME v.140...I skipped over several versions before that. There is also Donkey Kong Foundry which only contains one extra screen that was added around v.135. You don't need MisfitMAME to play Donkey Kong 2 it's supported by the latest version of MAME. http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/ Search for Dkongx

Not to be a downer...but once again, the common shallow-pocketed gamer (like me), is being priced out of this game before it's even produced. I love Joust, but I could never come up with that kind of money for it.

NIAD knows!!! No, seriously, if I understand correctly, the game would have to be totally re-programmed because it makes system calls specific to the ADAM and not ColecoVision....right, NIAD? NEVER! Never say never.... you never know

I just had an interesting glitch occur on Time Pilot. I was in the 1940s level and shot the required 20 planes, but the red plane never appeared so I couldn't advance to the next level. It never did appear for any of my remaining lives...weird!!!

Yeah, my wife has been on vacation this week....so little playing time for me...every time I try, it's "can you do this...or can you do that..."

I always liked the Atari 8-bit computer version of E.T. I used to play that game or hours on end. Wish someone would turn out a ColecoVision game similar to it. Sarcasm aside, I believe a well-done remake of E.T. The Extraterrestrial would be a good thing. Maybe someone could even add some newer, more interesting levels. Say, for instance, a level where Elliot tries to outrace the bad guys on his bike with E.T. in the basket. Would be cool.
