ColecoVision Prototype Consoles

[doubledown]

Yeah...so I just checked out Bump 'N Jump with the Expansion Module #2 on the ColecoVision...and the steering insensitivity is almost unplayable...in my opinion.  Definitely not the same as Turbo...which plays just like its arcade counter-part.

I don't have a steering wheel but the videogamecritic prefers colecovision bumpnjump with the steering wheel.

By the way, Intellivision bumpnjump is programmed for the 16-way control.  It gives bumpnjump multiple left/right speed which I miss when playing the arcade version.

Well obviously videogamecritic is a sociopath!  😁  Just kidding.  It is obviously "playable" with the Expansion Module #2, but as an example...when the road is at it's widest...it takes more than 2 full revolutions of the wheel to get from one side of the road to the other.  And as it's basically acting like a Roller Controller in joystick mode (pulsing left or right directions), spinning the wheel faster or slower doesn't make your car move sideways faster or slower, only at a single speed like when manipulating the joystick.  As Data East, who developed the game, decided that it should be played with an 8-way joystick...that's the way I'll continue to play it.  By the way...it does play great with my Spy Hunter Experience Controller.

Here's part of my Coleco catalogs collection 
There's about 60 different ones in this photo 

I need to scans all of them and upload them to colecoindustries.com (wich I also need to update!)

I think I saw Ms.Pac-Man in one of the catalogs but I'm not sure.

Well, you didn't specify the size you needed 😁

 

All kidding aside, and in answer to your question, no there is no-one I'm aware of who is currently making repro console boxes for the CV.

😂😂😂. If only they were life Size !!

Thanks though 

 

still looking for a complete repro box , styrofoam inside etc

I think many of us would purchase the box w/wo styrofoam if a high quality reproduction was made.
