Following up is: Smurf Challenge wich will be release in about a week now 5 copies left? I'm 100% certain that once the word gets out that this game has been released, they will be gone FAST! This kind of game on the Colecovision is a pure treat! And after Smurf Challenge I'm sure there will be a break? Perhaps the next release will be in June or so? (Not talking about the re-releases or anything, although I would interested in some of those too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should continue to save some paypal $$ for future titles! Sometimes, when I have some money in my Paypal, I start looking at ways to spend it and sometimes it's on things not Coleco related (heck sometimes on things not video game related lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Short and to the point review... this game is deep! There seems to be a ton of stuff to do and I barely scratched the surface so far. I did manage to kill a low level creature and find 1600 gold which was awesome! Too bad I died before making it back to the store! lol This game will keep people busy for a long time and the manual is absolutely required! Try casting a spell.. they won't make sense unless you read the manual! Overall, very nice work J-F! Now I need to start mapping more of the dungeon! This game won't stay in stock for much longer! If you like dungeon crawling old-school rpgs... this is the one for you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I received mine last night, but unfortunately it doesn't work in my system. I can't get past the title screen. Based on the warning, I tried a different power supply, but had the same result. My system is one Yurkie modified (video, BIOS, pause button). I just bought it from him a couple of months ago. Maybe something about the mods keeps the cartridge from getting enough on the +5 volt line. I was very much looking forward to playing this game.

King_Salamon Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Did you press up on the control stick? I think that was how you got the game to start... I was trying to play without reading the manual (kinda like I always did as a kid!) and I was pressing buttons etc on the title screen but it wasn't doing anything.. then I moved the control stick and then it asked which game I wanted. Hope that solves it for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I think he's getting the little airplane-like characters instead of the words "Lord" and "Dungeon"? If yes, then it looks like the power supplies aren't providing enough voltage (4.75 volts minimum) to the CV. edit: I should have said "assume" instead of "think". Ransom?

Hope that solves it for you! D'oh! I didn't read the manual well enough, apparently. I thought it said to select the game by pressing a digit on the pad. But I just glanced at the manual and should have read it more carefully. I'll try moving the stick when I get home tonight. Thanks for the tip.

The mods have no negative effect on playing this game. On the title screen press "up" on the joystick. A message to select game version will appear. Select the game version you want to play as printed on page #2 of the manual. ............SPECIAL ROOMS..................FAST MESSAGE KEYPAD #1......NO..............................NO KEYPAD #2......NO.............................YES KEYPAD #3.....YES..............................NO KEYPAD #4.....YES.............................YES After pressing the keypad button a message saying "The Monsters Awake" will appear briefly followed by a screen to "Name Your Party" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Okay, cool. For those who don't have the re-release, the memory chip inside the cart goes into hibernation mode if the +5V supply goes below +4.75V. However, most ColecoVisions will work okay with about +4.65V minimum. Below about +4.65V, the console won't work at all. However, between about +4.65V and +4.75V, the ColecoVision will likely work with other games, but not with the LotD re-release... however, if your supply is in this range, it's probably on its way to failing anyway, so it's really a feature.
