mozartpc27 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 This is a special spot in the Venn Diagram: a holy grail of Vintage gaming/ColecoVision collectors AND a He-Man item. I occasionally post on he-man.org because I grew up in the period and have nostalgia for that franchise in particular as I was a fan as a kid, and let me tell you, if you are unfamiliar, that He-Man collectors are another breed. That stuff goes for INSANE amounts of money, Star Wars level at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colormesticky Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I apparently stink at this game as much on Coleco as Intellivision and can't get to Skeletor, but I helped test the ROMS last year and Steve said it's okay to post the video. If nothing else, it shows the very beginning and that the sound works. 20190706_124239.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchy Scratchy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Supposed to shoot and drop bombs, what's the dilli-YO I wanted to hear the title music as compared to the intellivision.

colormesticky Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I was probably playing one handed and holding my phone, I don't actually remember. I do remember being giddy about being getting to play them. ? But I will vouch that it's playable and didn't freeze or glitch out.

Play the Intellivision version, which seems to be identical as far as gameplay, and you will discover that your comment is 100% CORRECT! However, you are mixing He-Man with ColecoVision which is akin to mixing Chocolate with Peanut Butter, Pizza and Bear, Wine and Cheese, Vaseline and.... err, I'll stop there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, never mind, the controller is laying on the ColecoVision. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I mastered this game no pun. Then on occasion I would put the cartridge in just to listen to the music same as SNAFU Cloudy Mountain and Deadly disks were my favorite with Microsurgeon in 3rd. SPEAKING OF.... Anything they do on the 994A should be 100% capable on the Colecovision minus intellivoice. So is Coleco-Surgeon just way too much of a game?

colormesticky Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Well, there's my problem! Maybe I should try my Inty version later and see if I'm as terrible as I remember. ? I thought I had a few videos, but this was the only one I could find. I'm two phones past this, and this was the only one I had backed up.

Aside from some nice parallax scrolling and improved graphics over the Intellivision version, the actual gameplay has the feel of a Xonox title... ie: Chuck Norris SK, Robin Hood, Sir Lancelot.

Seems all the bidders have an alias. Is this something eBay does automatically or something? I'm not overly concerned about the game. I've lived this long without it, haha. It would be great, though, to not have some guy Golem the three ROMs from the community.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphro72 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I think ebay obscures the user names to protect buyers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
