If someone was to work on a ColecoVision version coded from scratch, he could peek at the original source code to make sure no detail is left out, thus ensuring that the game would contain all texts and features. If CollectorVision could get a license from the German company who apparently owns the rights these days (according to the auction's description), they could make an exclusive version for the CollectorVision Phoenix that could make use of the keyboard port as well as the integrated F18A and SGM.

Cool! I 'm not sure it is so interesting for this aspect. Because i think Leisure suit larry use the ScummVM engine. And we have already open source implementation of this engine for various plateform. Then you have more or less just to take the script of the game and run it on it as is. So adapting the ScummVM engine to the Phoenix would be very interesting as it will open the Phoenix to all ScummVM games... ... and it is huge... https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Category:Supported_Games Having the rights from the german company is more interesting indeed.

SCUMM engine was made by Ron Gilbert at LucasArts Sierra engine is way different, and the source code for this engine is not included with Al Lowe's disks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildOfCv Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 SCUMM engine was made by Ron Gilbert at LucasArts If it came from LucasArts, shouldn't it be the Rebel SCUMM engine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 If it came from LucasArts, shouldn't it be the Rebel SCUMM engine? Yes, that's what I was saying SCUMM stands for Scrypt Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youki Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 SCUMM engine was made by Ron Gilbert at LucasArts Sierra engine is way different, and the source code for this engine is not included with Al Lowe's disks Yes, the original one . but it have been ported to scumm by sierra later (in 91 i think) So if you manage to port a Scumm engine to Phoenix , in theory you should be able to run it. The open source scumm engines are available for various plateform. But of course, is it possible to adaption the engine on Phoenix and still have enough resource to run the scripts... it is another probleme... But if you implement a 80286 core with 1 Mega of Ram and a EGA or VGA Card... it should be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswift74 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Is anyone still working on this game? I have great memories of playing this game with my friends on my Tandy 1000 SL back in the late 1980's. Seeing this on the Coleco/Adam would be a blast.

imstarryeyed Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I too would love to see this on the Colecovision as it would be an epic game to play on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 It's coming! I had to close many projects in the past months/years I spent so much time converting the PC screens to ColecoVision, that would be stupid to not make this project happen It's really just a matter of time 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800Knight Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you don't mind me saying, as a big fan of Leisure Suit Larry, I am impressed you could pull off a remake/port on the Colecovision. My hat is off to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMarcoux66 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I remember playing the original as a text adventure on the Apple ][. It was called "Softporn Adventure" back then. Can't wait to see the Toby version :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswift74 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Any update on this game? I am super excited for this one. I can remember countless hours playing this back in the late 80's on my Tandy 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswift74 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Is this still an active project? I have great memories of playing this game with my friends back in the late 1980's on our Tandy computers. Seeing this on the Coleco/Adam would be a blast!
