VGC1612 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 As my top 3 games on INTV are:Diner,Thin Ice and Loch 'N Chase,and that the last one has been done,I wonder if it may be possible,in future years to have the 2 others on ColecoVision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If someone was to develop/program Diner for the CV, I hope that they would revert back to what Diner originally was supposed to be released as... Masters of the Universe 2: The Power of He-Man. Then 20 years from now, everyone will be asking "What happened to MotU 1: TPoH?", just like so many have asked over the years about Pepper 1.

+grips03 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) was there a Pepper 1? I would like to see Archon 1&2, MULE and Druid ports from C64. Edited January 21, 2013 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'd like to see something that hasn't really been seen before on the ColecoVision. See below for an image that should be worth a thousand words. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 was there a Pepper 1? I knew that someone just couldn't resist asking that question! To answer it, No, there was not a Pepper I. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So, where did the title Pepper II come from? Would have to track down and ask the programmer(s) that developed it for Exidy, unless someone already has done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been discussed before. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/40979-pepper-ii/page__st__25?do=findComment&comment=1604804 And just to keep people guessing even more, someone should do a Pepper prequel as a CV homebrew, and try to pass it off as a real arcade adaptation.

xybot67 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wasn't Coleco also planning to do Tabletop versions of Omega Race and Berzerk? Wonder what they would have looked like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Now stop teasing ! You ARE teasing right? These are just mockups. But they are "functional" mockups, meaning that they could have been done as actual electronic tabletops in terms of graphical design, and they were also designed so that they could actually be done on the ColecoVision, via a combination of tiles and sprites, same as the first group of mockups I posted earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berzerk was in the works, not sure about Omega Race. Actually, PBoland has available some Press Kit style posters of both of these tabletops along with many other tremendous creations dealing with Coleco and CV products.

das_64 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd like to see a Colecovision port of Hang On II for the SG-1000. I believe it was also on the MSX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGM compatible? A prequel should logically be less than the game it draws from, from a technlogical perspective. This is especially true for early arcade games. Pepper II could fit in a 32K CV cartridge, so Pepper should too. I would imagine Pepper to be a single-screen game, instead of the 4-screen maze game of Pepper II. It could actually be a nice design challenge: How to make a single-screen Amidar clone that's interesting in its own right, and could hold its own against it's well-known sequel. But that's all my humble opinion, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was actually attempted about a year or two ago by Eduardo Mello. It was determined that the slight hardware differences between the SG-1000 and ColecoVision made the port of Hang On II impossible. And if Eduardo Mello can't get an SG-1000 port to work properly on the CV, then that's that, it can be officially labeled as impossible to port.

I guess that I wanted to see a Pepper III sequel type of game, with more mazes, and possibly more character options. (Pepper II was always one of my favs!) Thanks.

youki Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 This was actually attempted about a year or two ago by Eduardo Mello.

And if Eduardo Mello can't get an SG-1000 port to work properly on the CV, then that's that, it can be officially labeled as impossible to port. But it does not mean at all that Hang On II can not be done on coleco. Starting from zero it is doable and i'm sure we can do better. And concerning the pure "portage" ,. Anyway the portage from SG-1000 to Colecovision is always possible , the problem is just the amount of work and rewriting you want put into. The usual Lazy port is may be not possible in the case of Hang on II. May be it require to modify 40% of the code instead of the 2% that this kind of port requires usually. I'm sure If Eduardo wanted he could, imho he just didn't want invest his time in that project to do something more interresting as the SGM or DKarcade.
