New to the COLECO FORM

[SKELETOR68]

Hello Guys, I had no idea that Atari had a site with COLECO VISION in it, I must say I am impressed with the amount of people still posting good stuff about Coleco, So here is my small collection and always looking at getting more games to play not just collect, I still play PEPPER II, LADYBUG, DONKEY KONG Jr and ZAXXON all level 1 for now. I know most of my collection, if not all of it is very common but this is my third console, lost one in a house fire back in 85, insurance got me another one and later my jackass room mate pawned it off for $40, so I picked up my third one in Winnipeg Canade.

Hello Guys, I had no idea that Atari had a site with COLECO VISION in it, ...

 

You make it sound as if this site and forum are property of Atari. It really isn't, you know.

[mimo]

Thank goodness this site has nothing to do with the current fiasco that is Atari.

[SKELETOR68]

Just very surprised how many Coleco Fans are still out there, me being one of them.

[Pixelboy]

Oh yeah, there's plenty of Coleco fans out there. And it's nice to see a lot of them coming here on a regular basis.

[cOLeCoHiTMan]

Would be nice if Coleco.com would make us a nice new forum!

[SKELETOR68]

I agree, Coleco.com would be sweet, shame it has not been updated in a bit.

[SKELETOR68]

Played with the Roller Controler last night, the wife thought it was another Coleco with the controlers hooked in, so of course I just had to show her, Forgot just how fun Slither was.

Do you know which label variation you have on Victory and Venture? You could have something rare and not know it

I assume you are evading police for the homicide of that stupid roomate. You can hide out with me because that was a well deserved punishment.

Welcome to the forum! Always nice to see another person that is into classic game consoles and especially the ColecoVision.

[SKELETOR68]

Just got back from being away for a bit and after my shower, just had to jump onto the Coleco for a bit, oh ya, good times.

[SKELETOR68]

What am I looking for on Victory and Venture? the carts.

[NIAD]

What do you mean "looking for"? These are two very common carts if you are looking for them LOOSE ($1-$5) or even COMPLETE IN BOX ($8-$15).

[SKELETOR68]

Just something that Rellik111 had brought to my attention on these games.

[NIAD]

Still doesn't clarify what exactly you want to know about them.

[ColecoDan]

If you read up higher rellik talks about if he had a different variation in those two carts on the label then he would be happy because they would be worth more or special.

 

He didn't tell him what was different about the labels so he has no idea what he is looking for though.

 

I am pretty sure that is what he is talking about.

[RelliK111]

Sorry I was talking about the label variation on Victory and Venture. If your cart on Victory says "ColecoVision Presents" that label variation is very hard to find. Also with Venture the label variation that says "For ColecoVision & ADAM" is super rare. If you look at NIAD's Rarity list he breaks all the Label Variation down for everyone and lets people know how rare your ColecoVision games are. He has every known game on the Colecovision in that list. It's super helpful for starting your collection!

 

Also if you want to have a huge boost in your Colecovision collection you could participate in the raffle I'm having right now for one of the rarest and most sought after ColecoVision games ever: Mario Bros 32k Prototype #4. There is only 5 in existence and its signed and numbered. In fact copy #5 just sold on ebay for $1000.00

 

Plus the money raised for the raffle is going to a good cause in helping out Collectorvision. All the info is at this link: http://www.atariage....bros-prototype/

 

I hope that clears a few things up for you and if you have one of those label variation, I would love to buy them off of you, as I'm sure a number of other Collectors here would love to also, as there are very hard to come by. I have been looking for those for a while now.

Thank you RelliK111, I will tke a look after work tonight, sorry about any confusion.

[SKELETOR68]

As it stands my VENTURE says COLECO VISION Presents, on the top it says Coleco Vision VENTURE, on the VICTORY cart it says Victory for the COLECO VISION & Adam, top of cart says COLECO VISION & ADAM, hope this helps

Ok, thanks for clarifying (as well as ColecoDan and Relik111). Indeed, you have the VERY COMMON label variations of Venture and Victory.

 

The Venture label that reads "For ColecoVision & ADAM" only became known to us about 4 months ago and I "think" the Victory label variation that reads "Coleco Vision Presents" was a Coleco In-House label that only became available to the masses when former employees sold off their collections.

 

I could be wrong concerning the "Coleco Vision Presents" label variation of Victory, but there are a couple clues that lead me to this thinking:

the only box that was ever made for it reads "For the ColecoVision & ADAM Computer"

the rare/uncommon "Coleco Vision Presents" label does not state "For use only with ColecoVision Roller Controller"

how many people are actually known to own one... maybe a handful?

Cool, I will still enjoy these games more than ever now, I would be to worried about the cart destroyed with the labels, I do play them quit a bit, Nice having a working Coleco on a 54 inch SONY tv.

[sqoon]

later my jackass room mate pawned it off for $40..

 

Did you remain room mates, or even friends, after that?
