retroillucid Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I like bagman but if it just moves bags then I say you should make sure to create extra levels to make it more fun. Something I want to do is to make Bagman Collection Wich would include both, Bagman & Super Bagman Edited October 6, 2014 by retroillucid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Here's the two games, Bagman & Super Bagman Like I said earlier, the plan is to having both in one cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynxVGL Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Here's another preliminay works; Reactor Reactor needs the love. There are no decent ports of this unique game, and darn it, the CV HAS A ROLLERCONTROLLER! What are we waiting for?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chart45 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Having the actual Arcade machine, I can tell you this game is hard as hell For the CV version, I'm planning to have an " easy" mode , where you will be able to run instead of just walking This will be based on a "cheat" made for the Arcade .....made by djubba, a member here There will also be all DIP switches found in the Arcade game did you sell some of your cab cause you will need more space when you ask for my rush the rock i could not imagine bringin it to your place any way great find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Reactor needs the love. There are no decent ports of this unique game, and darn it, the CV HAS A ROLLERCONTROLLER! What are we waiting for?!?!? Forgive me if I rain on anyone's parade, but I never understood the appeal of Reactor. I had a hard time understanding what you're supposed to do in the game, even after watching footage on YouTube. I mostly understand the gameplay now, but it's still not appealing to me. I remember walking by a Reactor cabinet at a local arcade when I was a kid, and saying "What the heck is this? I don't get it, it looks complicated." then I would walk over to the Arabian cabinet and say "Ah, now that's more like it!" All this to say that Reactor is far from being at the top of my list of desired new arcade ports to the ColecoVision. There are far more desirable candidates out there, such as Vanguard, Phoenix, Asteroids, Arabian, Kangaroo, Crystal Castles (with Roller Controller support!), Wizard of Wor, Pengo, Bag Man, Bubble Bobble, Gauntlet, Kung-Fu Master, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I admit it can seem complicated at first I agree with you, there's plenty of great games to choose from Just so you see, I never liked Phoenix ....seems boring to me compared to other games like this Same with Kangaroo ..... I would prefer something like Food Fight The other choices you provide are great canditates, although ..... I though Eduardo had dibs on Wizard of Wor and Pengo And unless I missunderstood, you have dibs on Asteroids, Arabian, Crystal Castle I don't see how we could properly make Kung Fu Master on CV I guess the same thing goes for Gauntlet Anyway, I've many projects to complete befrore being able to make Reactor Heck, I want to make Bagman Collection and Mr Do's Collection first And would certainly make Quantum before Reactor, that's for sure!

retroillucid Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 did you sell some of your cab cause you will need more space when you ask for my rush the rock i could not imagine bringin it to your place any way great find I did make space at my place In fact, I sold (and still selling) ALOT of videogames from my collection I sized down my collection so I can have more space here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I don't see how we could properly make Kung Fu Master on CV I guess the same thing goes for Gauntlet Mediocre versions of Kung Fu Master and Gauntlet were made for MSX, so I suppose it's possible. It would probably be better with the Super Game Module, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know Not sure why, but I immediately think of Contra (wich is mediocre on MSX) Those games are doable, but they won't be any good on CV Maybe with the exception of Gauntlet, wich somehow could be adapted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You call this crappy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAYJo-Eqzuk I suppose there could be room for some small improvements in the implementation, but I'd be very happy just to get this as-is on my ColecoVision. I agree that doing a good version of Kung-Fu Master on the CV would be quite a challenging task, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Forgive me if I rain on anyone's parade, but I never understood the appeal of Reactor. I had a hard time understanding what you're supposed to do in the game, even after watching footage on YouTube. I mostly understand the gameplay now, but it's still not appealing to me. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground in regard to this game: people either love it or hate it. I love the game and would love to see this as a roller controller game on the CV. Reactor is fun on the 2600, but it has been dumbed down from the arcade game. Would love to see a CV release with the cool music and sharp graphics.

retroillucid Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 On another note.... I've just finished all graphics for Bagman Collection Everything has been verified so it can display properly on Colecovision I will probably tweek things here and there, but for now, everything seems fine Hope you like it! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that doing a good version of Kung-Fu Master on the CV would be quite a challenging task, though. It seemed a little jerky from what I remember. Is there a performance hit with two players? Of the home ports, I have the most experience with the C-64 version, which was quite good for what it was. Same thing with Kung-Fu Master on the MSX, which again, maybe I'm unfairly comparing to the C-64 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Isn't a MSX2 game? Nope, those are clearly MSX1 graphics, although I guess you need to watch other YouTube videos with a sharper picture to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I stand corrected Gauntlet on MSX doesn't look bad at all for a MSX1 game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 And of course, my contribution to this thread wouldn't be complete without this: The "Shopping mall" and "Sewers" boards look pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it's original appeal in the arcade was the thumping bass soundtrack. The game play requires the analog feedback of a track ball and the 2600 port never came close, and playing with a mouse on MAME doesn't cut it either. That's why I continue to call for Reactor to get the port it deserves. The other arcade games that you talk about are good games, no doubt, but have either good ports or are represented pretty well on other platforms or on MAME. Reactor is just different. Those other titles are shooters, platformers and puzzle games that aren't as different a beast as Reactor. (All good ones at that... mmmmm.... Vanguard....) Just my 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
