It looks like the whole Captain Power VHS tape game is on Youtube.

Man, now imagine playing Snatcher with a gun with that very same concept using DVD

 

 

Looks like Sega CD but in 80s

Anyway anyone that is a ColecoVision fan and board please feel free to post a question

 

Hello Mr. Yurkie, contacted you a while back about a console that would go nuts after a solid 15 minutes of perfect play time. One of your suggestions was bad memory and I went ahead and performed the mem mod... you won't believe this, it turned out to be a bad power supply -- I guess after the power supply heated up from use something inside would get finicky. Problem solved.

 

Anyway, I have another one for you... My spare console is one that I bought with "black screen", found a lifted trace and after soldering it back in place the console worked great. Then one day I was testing out a game lot I bought and while playing DK the graphics and sound all of a sudden got jerky and finally froze completely (even the reset button wouldn't work) -- I turned off the console and restarted it, all it does now is show a black screen with a constant hum. Suggestions?

 

Your knowledge and insights are much appreciated here on AA!

Yikes, didn't realize this was such an old thread.

OMG Captain Power sucked. Still have mine. Sometimes my nephews just play with the spaceship as a toy.
