Colecovision 2 Button Games

[David Alexander]

Can some kind person out there provide a list of what games require the use of both fire buttons.

I have a Champ Adapter but I have not yet had a chance to modify it to work with 2 buttons.

One of my favourite joysticks is the Suncom Slik Stik.

Thanks.

Could anybody update or add to this list, thanks

Here's the full list of two-button games, which I compiled for my ColecoVision trading card project. I examined the manuals and tested every cartridge myself a couple of months ago to make sure I had the correct button usage information for every legacy game. I haven't gotten around to doing this exercise for homebrew games yet, but I'll have to do it eventually.

B.C.'s Quest for Tires

Thank you for the list, Highly appreciated.

For my own games, Zombie Near uses only one button.

 

Princess Quest uses two buttons, one for shooting and other for jumping.

 

Mecha-8 uses two buttons also, one for shooting and the other for special "devastator" power; also is needed to replay same level if Mecha gets destroyed.

I am waiting for a copy of Zombie Near that I bought recently from Collectorvision, I also bought the digital copy of Princess quest. Its a hard game, reminds me of Ghosts N Goblins.

Concerning my games :

Did the buttons have names?

 

ie, did Coleco refer to them back in the day as "Button 1" and "Button 2", or left and right, or nothing at all?

 

Wondering what to label them in an emulator... Or no label at all

Pretty sure they were referred to as Left and Right

We just did an update today where we are trying them w/o a label. Since they are on-screen, and laid out side by side, then they end up being "left" and "right" by virtue of position. Now deciding if they should be grey or red...
