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.

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.
