Ikrananka Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 True, but a modded original CV would run me what, a hundred plus Cdn? This would cost twice as much but also gives you a lot more. As mentioned those built in homebrews are worth hundreds. That alone makes this trump a real CV IMHO, let alone the other goodies built in. NIAD wasn't referring to modding your CV, just opening it up, cleaning/refurbishing the power switch and closing the system back up again. Only cost would be some deoxit and possibly some dielectric grease (the latter is for if you strip down the power switch). It's really not that hard to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking from the point of view of reacquiring a new CV now. If I were to do so, I'd want a modded and cleaned unit, not something off ebay, which would run me $100+ Canadian plus shipping. What I'm saying is that if I were willing to do that, I'd prefer to take that money, save it, and wait on the Collectorvision and spend the extra on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Harris Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) I have often wondered why someone with a 3D Printer or other modern tools just do not created the Coleco Prototypes for history sake.Sure they are copies but would be able to work with modern internals.Put the spinner back on the Coleco Joystick or a stick with blue buttons.Personally I like the Coleco with the white face plate.This is not like we were 40 years ago. Hell, someone can actually make the original SGM and install the micro string drives which were nothing but a looping 8 track if you ask me.

TPR Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's been a little while since I've added to this thread. I probably need to go through and make a few new updates. I did spend some time recently re-organizing my collection. It's not done yet, but here is a good chunk of my "boxed homebrew" and "varients" that I have... As far as homebrews go, I think that is almost every Team Pixelboy, Opcode, and CollectorVision game, among others... not quite every variant, but I do think almost every game from those publishers is at least represented in some way. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have surpassed my collection by about 2x or 3x! You're making me want to update my collection thread. EDIT: I count about 582 unique boxes (double-boxed are separated) on your shelves there (minus the SGMs). Is that about right?

Your work is amazing and it's not your fault someone else bootlegged it. On one hand, at least being in my collection means it is "out of circulation" and now exists just as an obscurity next to the original title. If anything, this most certainly applies here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveRider1970 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi this is quite impressive. Now i can compare and see what I missed. I see there was a lot of OPC prototype SGM games in those grey boxes, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPR Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Why leave a game sealed in the box? Did you do that on Christmas morning in 1983? No? Why would you do that now! Let's open this sealed copy of Jumpman Junior for the ColecoVision! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow - these are already being shipped - fantastic. While I'm excited by both of these games, as I love platformers I'm particularly looking forward to Zombie Calavera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
