chuckwalla Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Zaxxon: A port of the Adam Zaxxon Super Game but on cartridge Venture: Only change would be to have the game keep repeating all 3 levels after collecting all the treasure instead of repeating just the 3rd level Gyruss: a little slower to make it more playable like the Atari 8-bit or C64 version) Qbert: add eyes to our hero Gorf: adding a Galaxian screen Cosmic Avenger: add a parallax starry sky (a few colored pixels here and there would do) - I LOVE classic space shooters with that galaxian/galaga twinkling star background DKjr: Add the 4th screen (forgot what it's called - the 'Hideout' or something) ------------------------------ Off topic - a nice port of Phoenix or Zookeeper would be treasured!

Madaracs Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think Popeye would be cool. It always bothered me that he was just one color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Venture: Only change would be to have the game keep repeating all 3 levels after collecting all the treasure instead of repeating just the 3rd level Also, in the arcade game you are able to shoot a hole through the walls in the "Moving Walls" screen.

ColecoFan1981 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Venture: Only change would be to have the game keep repeating all 3 levels after collecting all the treasure instead of repeating just the 3rd level Also, in the arcade game you are able to shoot a hole through the walls in the "Moving Walls" screen. Yes... and also, there is more BGM in the arcade version, too. The arcade "Spider Room" theme, on the CV, is used in: Goblin Room (levels 1, 4 and 7) Spider Room (levels 2, 5 and (also arcade) Genie Room (levels 3, 6 and 9) Arcade "Cyclops Room" theme, on CV, used in: Skeleton Room (levels 1, 4 and 7) Dragon Room (levels 2, 5 and Cyclops Room (levels 3, 6 and 9) (also arcade) Arcade "Serpent Room" theme, on CV, used in: Serpent Room (levels 1, 4 and 7) (also arcade) Troll Room (levels 2, 5 and Bat Room (levels 3, 6 and 9) Arcade "Genie Room" theme, on CV, used in: Two-Head Room (levels 2, 5 and Demon Room (levels 3, 6 and 9) On the arcade version each room's BGM is only used once. The treasure collection fanfare, on the CV, is always the one heard in the "Serpent Room" (read: a brief rendition of Rossini's "William Tell Overture" aka "Lone Ranger Theme"). That means the CV version is missing seven pieces of BGM by room (the "Wall Room" in levels 1, 4 and 7 has no BGM, just sounds of wind in relation to the walls moving), and eleven pieces of treasure collection fanfares. ~Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoFan1981 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I am also interested in a redux version of Cosmic Avenger so as to include the actual CV renditions of arcade sounds like hitting the UFO, and the addition of an "X" box that wipes out all enemies onscreen when you time your hit properly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWq61DqXaew ~Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoFan1981 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I also want to continue saying that Cosmic Avenger deserves to be made as a CV Super Game because on the arcade version, in addition to the radar, there is also a notice warning you of a UFO ("UFO COMING"). ~Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozma wars Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 COSMIC AVENGER and TUTANKHAM for COSMIC AVENGER, in particular, I was disappointed to see on catalogs and on console boxes the image of a better graphics. There were rumours, between friends, that the version with better graphics were intended for US market only and I remember a letter in this sense published on an italian videogames magazine. So, I would like to have COSMIC AVENGER as promised in the catalogs. Only graphics. Gameplay is great as is, may be you can add a new stage ? I don't know the arcade, never seen it.

This is the case for all games shown on the system box and catalog yes but, because the differences were so small, I don't remember why, some enlarged the rumour that a version existed for the native market only......web didn't existed at the time..

youki Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Most of screenshot you see on Catalog and boxes at this time are not "Screen Shot" , they are "Artist view" done by hand. At this time it was very difficult (almost impossible) to take a picture of a TV Screen with a quality you can print correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only picture taken by Coleco of a ColecoVision game that is clearly a TV screen is Skiing in the presskit... and we don't have this skiing game at all.

Sorry, but I don't think that Skiing pic was taken from a TV screen. I think it was a mockup, same as Dracula, Mr Turtle, and others.
