The guy know how much we're involved into preserving unreleased ColecoVision stuff, and that's why he is willing to let us dump his 2 prototypes That's awesome news, can you give us a hint about the titles?

Last year, we've released the rom file for Pink Panther We even paid to rework Math Quest so it can be played on ColecoVision Energy Quiz will get release publicly, just be patient, it's only a matter of time Point I am trying to make is that people have to recoup the thousands paid for so it will not be anytime soon for free. I guess I can always word things better. As in, invest your money into paying off debt and if you want to buy one of these prototypes then do a goFundMe or hook up with a bunch of friends. Believe me, if I wasn't taking a break for the holidays I wouldn't be commenting and more programing. My grandson and daughter left yesterday and Monday is back to work. Then again, my buds want to take me deer hunting to break in my new AR Edited January 2, 2021 by Itchy Scratchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, I don't have any debt or owe any money When Toby and I are buying a prototype, we don't see this as an investment We're doing it because, first we're passionate about Coleco/ColecoVision and second, we want to make sure it get preserved and make the rom available to ALL the ColecoVision fans out there. Not just in a collector's closet... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like everyone else, am extremely interested despite my sometimes sarcastic posts. I will not disclose what my max bid may be but I will say that all depends. Guaranteed to work to some degree and I would like to see a video of game play from title screen all the way to entering the castle. I would like to see the fight with Skeletor, movements of the characters and such. This rom may surpass $2,000 as far as bids and this is a requirement of my participation.

CaptainBreakout Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Well, anyway this is cool. This looks better than the 2600 and Intellivision versions I'm familiar with. I never thought He-Man got his fair shakes on the game platforms, especially considering the pop-culture power he once commanded. Power to the ColecoVision rom preservation... and go forward bravely, with the Power Sword no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, don’t hold your breath waiting for further game play video(s) which IS NOT a knock against the seller. However, further game play videos after the sale would be appreciated so everyone: - gets a chance to enjoy a good view of the game in case it ends up in the hands of a private collector. - knows ahead of time what a possible physical release will play like and how complete or incomplete it may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that, however I can not in good conscious dish out 2 grand for what may be a dead set of eproms and it would only take 5 minutes of someones time especially when everyone has a cell phone with ultra HD quality these days. It is also not an absurd request either. What collector in his right mind would pay top dollar for something you don't get to touch, watch in action or even play in this case until after you buy it. But to each his own and I respect your opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to each his own and I respect your opinion. If I had the cash, I'd be thinking the same way. I wouldn't be spending anywhere near the same level if the result is a title screen and totally unplayable or barely started game. A full game that plays decently would be worth a lot more to me. Even a simple low quality video showing some of the screens and a bit of gameplay to prove that it's playable and maybe fun would be beneficial for me... ... if I had the cash.

But to each his own and I respect your opinion. It is hard to take good quality video and play the game at the same time. The pictures in the auction were taken last week using the board that is for sale. It takes more than five minutes to get to the Skeletor fight and I am too rusty to get through the fireballs easily. The board is packed already, along with a flash drive with ROM dumps of all three prototypes (including the one at NVM which does not seem to be playable). I know I don't have a track record with the Colecovision people, but I think the Intellivision guys will vouch for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There IS a Skeletor level then to where the game will cycle through to continue like the Intellivision? Also how does the title music compare to the Intell or is it uniquely Colecovision. Bidding is almost over so I need to know asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
