digress Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I literally was just playing intellivision horse racing with my daughter for an hour this evening so any news on a colecovision version is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT12 Productions Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hello again, y'all! I've REVISED the overlays' design, AND the betting/program/codes legend screens for our new game Fidelity Electronics' Horse Racing Challenge. You'll find 'em on Google Drive. On the race program screen, I substituted the horses' color numbers (red 1 through silver in place of the colored initial letters from the old draft. I also drew up NEW instructions for navigating between these screens: BETTING SCREEN: Press COAX (the LEFT action button) for the PROGRAM SCREEN (the screen listing the 4 entrants for each race); Press WHIP (the RIGHT action button) for the PROGRAM CODES LEGEND SCREEN (the screen explaining the codes used on the PROGRAM and BETTING screens); Press 0 (ZERO) then START to start the race on the track—the game then transfers to the race track screen, with the 4 entrant horses loaded into the starting gate! PROGRAM SCREEN: Horizontal rows listing the 4 entrants for each race are shown thereon. For each entrant, they're listed in the assigned post position(s) from the inner rail outwards. Also show is their stamina rating (SURE, EASY, HARD, or DRAG), the track conditions from their MOST RECENT race (DRY, TURF, or MUD), and the FINISHING ORDER from the most recent race (if any). From this screen: Press COAX to get to the CODES LEGEND SCREEN; Press WHIP to return to the BETTING SCREEN. CODES LEGEND SCREEN: This lists the code abbreviations used for both the BETTING and PROGRAM SCREENS. From this screen: Press COAX to return to the PROGRAM SCREEN; Press WHIP to return to the BETTING SCREEN. You'll LOVE how I redesigned the overlays!! Would you know where to download a sample game box template for ColecoVision games?!?! I noticed that such a template is available for Intellivision ones... Thank You!

Ikrananka Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, he's posted over the years on various Google Groups mentioning files uploaded to his Google Drive and that readers should check them out. Nowhere does he provide a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antoine Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi,im taking a chance, any update on the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah, this is sort of like beating a dead horse at this point. Maybe i make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT12 Productions Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I assure you that it ISN'T vaporware! Derek Else (the original programmer) recently did some more demo updates (which DON'T seem to work within BlueMSX, by the way), but DO work within ColEm, and some other ColecoVision emulators. He and I are looking into further programming developments to help bring this much-needed game into fruition. Good quality video games DO take time to produce. Thank You!

You are correct RT12, I have an updated version from Derek (not for release) and it is rather good. Can always use some polishing like most things. KEEP GAMING!!!
