goldenrod Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yes, i agree in same country you have may not access easly to MSX title. But nowaday thanks to internet if you really want you can. you find MSX computer for the most commun ones at around 20-40 USD , game between 5 and 50 usd. even if you add shipping cost and power adaptator if you need ... i think at the end if will be less expensive than buy all SGM Games and you will have even lot of more choice. i own lot of machine never sold in my country , that i bought around the world thanks to the net. That's what makes collecting SO great, isn't it?! It seems everyone has their own, personal reason or niche. Some folks just like to play the games and don't care how; they're fine with an emulator and a PC. Others like the original console and a handful of used, loose carts will suffice. Then there's those who want the full monty -box, instructions, game, etc. And then there's the SuperCollectors, who want a sealed copy of every variant ever produced and maybe another loose cart just to play. Some love the artwork, others are in it for the gameplay. What a GREAT hobby (or lifestyle)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 MSX stuff costs a fortune. Really anything rare and sought out sold overseas from Japan are price gouged to the extreme. MSX2 computers and games are astronomically priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 MSX stuff costs a fortune. Really anything rare and sought out sold overseas from Japan are price gouged to the extreme. MSX2 computers and games are astronomically priced. You find MSX in lot of country. And very cheap. Just an example, i just did a query on a French site http://www.leboncoin.fr/consoles_jeux_video/741935716.htm?ca=12_s http://www.leboncoin.fr/informatique/676758497.htm?ca=12_s http://www.leboncoin.fr/informatique/756343368.htm?ca=12_s http://www.leboncoin.fr/consoles_jeux_video/759783693.htm?ca=12_s http://www.leboncoin.fr/consoles_jeux_video/759785404.htm?ca=12_s Of course you can find some rare MSX at more than 400 euros , but if you want just play game just take a cheap commun 64k MSX and that's it.

ValkerieSilk Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi. Is there a Colecovision II Console in development or is it just a Myth ?? And when is it due out ! I heard they were skipping 2 and going straight to 10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lezanderson Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Is anyone design / building a colecovision II , homebrew or not ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The closest thing to the ColecoVision II becoming reality is this project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron1999 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So the Colecovision (II) Neo is a MYTH ! ** Should remove the website then ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 So the Colecovision (II) Neo is a MYTH ! ** Should remove the website then ! If something new about the Idea of a new CV2 PCB from Eduardo shows up, will I update the CV2 site. Remember all in the CV2 article is only suggestions, and only what Eduardo would like to see an upcoming CV2. I have relayed the article because I support the idea, as I know many others also do.

Megatron1999 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Perhaps we should encourage more people to design & Build Colecovision hardware ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Perhaps we should encourage more people to design & Build Colecovision hardware ! Well, the thing about homebrew hardware is that once someone has done it, there isn't much incentive for other poeple to reinvent the wheel. Aside from 5-11under and his replacement motherboard project, other people have already made working FPGA implementations of the ColecoVision, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f0Vl_obcL8 There's a huge leap between making hobby hardware that works and manufacturing many copies of this hardware for retrogaming fans. Most people aren't interested in a large barebones PCB, they want a plastic casing with a proper cartridge slot and connectors for joysticks, and then there's the issue of the joystick themselves and where to procure them. All this is really expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
