VectorGamer #253 Posted January 25, 2010 Got mine today! Haven't played it yet so report on that later... There's a subtle and familiar smell to both my cart and box but I can't say for sure what it is...any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.golden.ax #254 Posted January 25, 2010 IT'S HERE ...that is a cigarette smoke smell... FYI. *cough* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorGamer #255 Posted January 25, 2010 IT'S HERE ...that is a cigarette smoke smell... FYI. *cough* You should've moved the box about 3 inches over to the right and it would've been like the Sleestaks messing with the crystals... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retroillucid #256 Posted January 25, 2010 There's a subtle and familiar smell to both my cart and box but I can't say for sure what it is...any ideas? You know Mario & Luigi are plumbers, maybe it stink alot in those pipes... Seriously, I may know what it smell... humm... I like this smell... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorGamer #257 Posted January 25, 2010 IT'S HERE ...that is a cigarette smoke smell... FYI. *cough* Cigarette smoke, eh? I knew that smelled familiar... Anyways...I gave the game a few plays and it is really nice. When the kiddees get home we'll see how two player mode works out. Then, we'll compare to the 5200, 7800 and arcade versions and see how it stacks up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retroillucid #258 Posted January 25, 2010 There's a "secret level" in the game, pretty easy to find The initial plan, was to add a bunch of new levels, but it'll have take forever to release the game Interesting facts: It has take 17 months for making this game (including making/encode Graphics by me with help of a friend here) There is approximately 9500 lines of code (including data tables) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikrananka #259 Posted January 25, 2010 Got mine on Friday - looks great - smells terrible Only had time for a quick game and am very impressed - very polished and fun to play. I expect that two player will be a blast - have to wait for my daughter to get back from band camp before I can give that a go. This weekend will be fun 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEFF31 #260 Posted January 26, 2010 I don't have my cart yet... YEA!!! My cart arrived today!! Plugged it into the new A/V modded coleco and... the title screen loaded and then nothing Tried it on another system (not modded) and it works great ... well once I found a working controller... Played for a while and really enjoyed the game. Like the multi-colored cover on the instructions and liked having the box insert (SNES?). The red casing is nice also. This will look nice with the Mario controllers purchased earlier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beta testing has been done on my A/V Modded CV and everything works fine I've played the game on my newly component modded CV with no problems : http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/153635-component-video-mod-for-colecovision/page__view__findpost__p__1927143 Has your BIOS also been modded? Perhaps the BIOS has been corrupted in some way? Edited January 26, 2010 by Ikrananka Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GaryH917 #264 Posted January 26, 2010 Received my cart today. Looks great, smells terrible, lol. Will try it out this weekend... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterborn #265 Posted January 26, 2010 Got mine today as well. Mine doesn't smell at all, very odd. Haven't had time to play it yet. I just got home from work, opened up the package and went right to the computer to say Thank you Retroillucid! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coleconut #266 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Got mine today, yay! Very nice, professionally done, great manual. FYI, found something interesting about this game. I play 99% of my games on a standalone ADAM. I re-read this thread again and there's no mention in messages or on the box or instructions about the ADAM. Turns out player 1 is on controller 2 and you play Luigi. Player 2 is Mario on controller #1. El-reverso of standard CV play. That's extremely odd... I've never heard of or seen a game that plays different on the Adam than the CV. Did you try it on an actually CV to make sure it's not that way there too? Just curious as this is kinda baffling me. Ok I musta been smokin something bad that day because today it works fine on the ADAM. More to the point, if you just use controller 2 to start a one player game you play Luigi. Why I experienced what I did the other day I dont know. I could say controller #1 wasnt working but heck, I played a 2-player game, I just had to initiate it using controller 2. But today....normal. Sorry for the misinfo didnt mean to mislead anyone. I even tried removing and re-adding my 128K memory board from the ADAM to see if that was making the difference but no...

Yurkie #268 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I just want to let everyone know that if you are interested in a set of custom Controllers to go along with this awesome game cartridge please check out my thread. Revision and Clarification on Post #123 http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/149793-mario-bros-custom-controllers-deposits-until-midnight-131/page__fromsearch__1 I started this project back in September of last year and I am ending the offer Sunday 1/31/10 at Midnight. Please post comments about the controller set on my thread. I went off topic simply to make people aware of these, if they weren't already. Here is a picture of a boxed set of controllers.

xybot67 #269 Posted January 27, 2010 Can anyone post a Youtube video of the game in action. My Colecovision is dead, but I would really like to see this. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Atari #270 Posted January 27, 2010 Received mine on Monday. AWE-SOME. Seriously stoked for the classic edition, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterborn #271 Posted January 28, 2010 Finally got to play my copy today and it rocks! I will get some video for you and post it tonight xybot. So what is everyone's high score so far? I got to level 10, which I could never do in the arcade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skaarg #274 Posted January 28, 2010 I'm getting really anxious. Mine still hasn't arrived unfortunately. Tomorrow's another day though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skaarg #275 Posted January 29, 2010 Double post, but oh well. I picked up my controller set from the post office yesterday and they are great. So if anyone has the game and wants a nice controller set for it. Definitely get in touch with Yurkie quickly! The pictures really don't do them justice. They just look and feel amazing in person. I still don't have my game yet though. I'm hoping it didn't get lost in the mail or something since it seems most US located people got theirs early this week.
