Words iManifest #1 Posted August 6, 2012 Hello all, I have been collecting for quite some time but only just recently re-discovered my love for all things Colecovision. The poor guy (or maybe girl for this story) had been sitting in my closet for far too many years whilst my attention was being held by my recent Saturn and Sega CD obsession. On one rainy day I pulled it out, gave it a nice cleaning and fell in love all over again. Not only did all my great Coleco related memories come flooding back, the games, as always, still hold up great today. I have no doubt that it is my favorite of all time, I just had to leave for awhile to appreciate the sheer awesomeness when I came back, lol...Anyway, I've been expanding my collection through my local independent game store out here, occasionally ebay (just got Buck Rogers CIB for $8.09 !) and am very excited to find the Opcode and Collectorvision homebrew sites. I just ordered Pac-Man and Yie Ar Kung Fu a bit ago (I think...I paid but haven't received any confirmation, not sure how the site works, lol) and could not be more excited about some of my fav's like Elevator Action and Buster Bros.! I'll stop rambling, just wanted to introduce and meet some other like-minded Coleco lovers. Thanks ! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

65Gamerguy #4 Posted August 6, 2012 Welcome! I think you will find that the ColecoVision homebrew community is pretty awesome. One homebrew you might have missed is right above this post. http://teampixelboy.com Have fun with the ColecoVision! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NIAD #5 Posted August 7, 2012 Welcome to the forum. There's a lot of great information to be had here and all it takes is a some time to Search or read thru all the old posts... it's a great way to catch up on everything that has transpired over the years. The "CV&ADAM" SubForum was created in May of 2009, so if you are really interested in catching up on everything, you will have to look thru the "Classic Gaming General" Forum for even older Coleco related posts. Nice to see another ChiTown Coleco fan as well. BTW, what videogame store are you referring to, People Play Games or VideoGames Then & Now, or is there another that I am not aware of? Rainy day??? There haven't been too many of those around here this spring/summer! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Words iManifest #6 Posted August 7, 2012 Thank you all for the kindness ! I have been going through a lot of the older posts and it is surprisigly exciting to see that the Coleco is becoming almost more popular than when it was released. @NIAD, I am referring to People Play Games. I live about a ten minute walk from there, Video Games Then and Now I have not been to yet. I sold my car a little over a year ago and have become a CTA kinda guy, though a ZipCar trip may be in order soon. Speaking of PPG, some foolish person emptied there entire boxed collection there and I have been steadily purchasing, I certainly haven't found any in the wild yet...Maybe that means I'm due for my rare, big haul, lol. @65Gamerguy, I will check out that link, thank you...I believe I have been watching reviews on Youtube which were yours prior to finding this forum, they are a lot of fun to watch ! Here is my meager but growing colection... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow! I never realized there was old Colecovision posts in Classic Gaming General from before 2009!! I've been reading the old posts, and it's like an alternate universe with different characters. No Retroiilucid, Pixelboy, NIAD, or Yurkie, just to name a few.... I see Opcode and a few others are still around. Where are the old rabid CV devotees? Coleconation, Doubledown and Bill Brasky?

I'm here since 2006 As far as I know, Coleconation did not had enough free time to continue to be around the scene I'm always in touch with Doubledown, but again, he's too busy to be around Mike did help me with almost all of our manuals ....so we could consider he's helping the scene Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
