Super Game Module second run


opcode

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

I am officially starting the ColecoVision Super Game Module (SGM) second run order process. Here is some information about the SGM:

 

The SGM is a small device that plugs into the ColecoVision expansion port and increases the console RAM memory and sound capabilities. With the SGM you can run especially designed games that offer more complex gameplay than ever before. And of course arcade ports that play just like the real thing.

 

Specs:

  • Increases ColecoVision RAM memory from 1KB to 32KB
  • Doubles the ColecoVision and ADAM sound capabilities
  • Adds a power LED to the ColecoVision
  • Compatible with both the ColecoVision and ADAM
  • Uses a custom plastic case based on classic Coleco design
  • Comes with professionally printed box, manual and catalogs. Packaging mimics the classic ColecoVision packaging design circa 1982/83, so it will match your ColecoVision collection nicely.
  • Officially licensed Coleco product

How to order: Please send Paypal payment to eduardo [at] opcodegames.com. You will receive a confirmation email. Please allow 48 hours for the confirmation email (contact me if you don't receive the email by then).

PLEASE DO NOT SEND MONEY TO THE P.O. BOX INDICATED IN POST #2, AS IT NO LONGER EXIST.

 

Price: $90US including shipping for orders within continental US. $95US to Canada. $105US International (sorry, USPS greatly raised international rates recently).

 

Availability: I am aiming for October 2015. 200 SGMs will be produced, first come first served.

 

Games already available: Thexdex (classic Transformers like action game), Rollerball (pinball game from HAL with 4 tables), King's Valley (action puzzle game from Konami), Dragon's Lair (ADAM's version now in cartridge), Super Zaxxon (ADAM's version now in cartridge). Those games have been released by Team Pixelboy and CollectorVision, so you need to contact them about order.

 

Games planned for 2013/2014/2015: Donkey Kong (new port of the arcade game), Goonies (action adventure based on the popular movie), Knightmare (action shooter from Konami), Space Invaders Collection 10th Anniversary (enhanced version of the popular CV game), Twin Bee (based on cult Konami arcade game of same name), Ghostbusters (classic Activision hit from 1984), Penguin Adventure (sequel for Antarctic Adventure), Buck Rogers Super Game (port of the ADAM game, now in cartridge format), Lady Bug Arcade, Frogger Arcade.

 

FAQ: ========================

 

- Does the SGM improve my existing ColecoVision games?

No, to take advantage of the SGM you need to use especially created SGM games.

 

- Does the SGM have its own cartridge slot?

No, SGM games are just like regular CV games and plugs into the CV cartridge slot.

 

- Do I need to remove the SGM to play regular games?

No, you don't. The SGM is compatible with virtually every ColecoVision game.

 

- Can I use the SGM with my ADAM?

Yes, you can.

 

- Why are you taking orders before the SGM is ready to ship? Why is it so expensive?

The SGM project is very expensive. The total cost of the first run crossed the US$20,000 mark. Due to many unforeseen events, I was forced to put money out of my pocket to finished the project and now I am broken, so I need money in advance to pay for a new run. The SGM uses a custom printed board, plastic case and packing, all professionally designed and manufactured and thus very expensive to manufacture in low volumes.

 

- Wasn't Donkey Kong supposed to be a launch game? Why has it been delayed to 2014?

Unfortunately, due to time and budget constraints I was forced to delay the game to be able to concentrate on the SGM and most of the launch day games.

 

- So is everything in place to start manufacturing of the SGM?

Yes. Enough boxes and manuals were printed for 500 SGMs. Cases can be easily ordered now that we have the mold. We are still looking for a better supplier of the nameplates but that should be all sorted out in the next couple of months.

Yeah, and just out of curiosity, I'd like to know if the ordering instructions in the first post of this forum thread are still valid for pre-ordering an SGM right now. Some people are contacting me to ask how to order an SGM and I'm not 100% sure what to tell them.

UPDATE: this is kind of a personal update. I am currently in Brazil, me and Grazy got married last Saturday and we are now in our honeymoon. We should be back home on Monday (09/14).

The SGM manufacturing is progressing nicely. I will send confirmations to all pre-orders starting next Monday. So please hang in there until we are back. :-D

Pictures or it didn't happen! JK Congrats to the two of you.
