Tomy Tutor Games to Be Ported to ColecoVision

Recommended Posts

Are there any Tomy Tutor titles out there being ported?

 

The reason I started this forum is because both the ColecoVision and the Tomy Tutor used Texas Instruments graphics and sound chips; and thus using the same color palette, too.

 

Tomy Tutor games available in the U.S.:

*Scramble (Konami, 1981)

*Jungler (Konami, 1981)

*Loco-Motion (Konami, 1982)

*Pooyan (Konami, 1982)

*Traffic Jam (1983)

*Cave Crawlers (1983)

*Deep Six (1983)

*Torpedo Terror (1983)

*Hyperspace (1983) (this was released in Japan as Tron, though neither version was related to the 1982 Bally/Midway arcade game except for the Recognizers)

*Car-azy Racer (1983)

I think it is not so easy to port TI Game to Colecovision.

 

The Video Processor is the same. But the TI is a 16bit machine and his processor has nothing to do with the Z80...

 

the only thing would be to rip the graphics. But i think it is better to do some new and better.

 

I think Pooyan is coming soon, i think i have saw it on Collectorvision site.

Pooyan is definitely already coming and it will be far, far better than the mediocre Tutor port.

A homebrew like Traffic Jam would be nice. The Japanese Tutor got some interesting unique games as well (like Demon Diggers).

I'd just love to get my hands on some of the advanced late release and 3D games released for the Japanese system. Those actually showcased the system's capabilities (thanks to some extra cartridge as well). They've been tough to find to add to the collection, though.

Pooyan is coming, I'm waiting for the final built

All boxes & cartridges labels are in my hands, the manual will be done soon

Expect Pooyan to be release somewhere this Summer! :) ... ... Mario Bros as well! ;)

Please don't start a thread with a subject that gives readers false expectations. It's very annoying.

The thread should be "may be ported" instead of "to be ported"? Well, I don't know if he's convincing about porting all these games or if he's just thinking about porting some of them. Anyway, good point.

Did you see my original post? The words are "How many of you guys would like to see any Tomy Tutor games be ported to the ColecoVision?"

Yes, and I fully acknowledge that these will take time to do. These are indeed pure suggestions, and I do understand that not all of these may be ported.

...right, but your title is "Tomy Tutor Games to Be Ported to ColecoVision." As is this was already in the works.

In other words, you're blueballing gamers who are led to believe that this already has happened. It hasn't. When you start a topic like this, you should say "Can Tomy Tutor Games Be Ported To The ColecoVision?" or something to that effect. You're not the first person to do it, but it's still a pet peeve of mine.

I don't mean to "blue-ball" anyone here, it is just a matter of opinion. I apologize to everyone here who thinks I'm blue-balling them. But still, I and a few other Tomy Tutor fans here would like to see at least one of those games get ported for the ColecoVision.

I don't think you understand why I'm irritated. It's not the content of this thread that bothers me, it's the misleading title. That's all.

I agree, the only reason I even read the thread was because the title made it sound like this was actually occurring so I opened it up.
