Give up, you’ll never get it unless you buy one secondhand! ?

zaphro72 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 196,900 is my high score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 It's a great game and have been thoroughly enjoying it, but I wish I could get it to dump properly, so I can play it on my Ultimate SD cart and keep the cart pristine and in the box. So far, using the 128k MegaCart w/ EPROM format via Atarimax USB programmer & CV adapter has worked the best, but the flower sprites are missing on the bottom. Weird! There's no EPROM in it as far as I can tell, since my high score disappears after I power down the console. ? ?♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Collectorvision already stated all owners Of the cart will get the rom once everyone has received the club game, so just be patient, it’s coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't express how much I want this comment to be a "just kidding" post! Do people (adults) seriously, and with regularity play games on their phones (or any other touch-screen device)? I'm sure kids do (fortunately I have no first hand knowledge of this), and when smart-phones first became a "thing" all those years ago, I remember getting a few games on my first smart phone...realized how bad they sucked (new made for smart-phone games, angry birds, tower defense games and the likes), and realized how unplayable vintage games are without a controller...swipe the screen to move...no thank you. This truly saddens me...and really makes me wonder what will happen to all of the "hardware" in the probably not-too-distant future. Obviously people can do whatever they like, play games however they like, I just find it really depressing to think of people playing games like Pac-Man or other vintage classics on a smart-device with a touch-screen. This now concludes the daily ranting of a crazy old man...now back to your regularly scheduled programming. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage games should be played how they were originally intended to be played for optimal enjoyment and immersion. I'm afraid the smartphone has "ruined" the fun of playing these games that *we* on this forum still understand. There's just no comparison, and kids of today and tomorrow don't know what they're missing by not using the original joysticks and hardware to play the games properly.

Bill Loguidice Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I find it sad that you guys find it sad that people like to play games on smartphones. ? In my opinion, now is the best time to be a gamer, period, and it only continues to get better. There are countless form factors and methods to play games and to play games exactly how you want at any given moment. Do you really think our younger selves would have complained about having a general purpose super computing communications device in our pockets at all times and wouldn't have played games on them as well? I certainly don't expect any of my kids to play games I grew up with and loved on a regular basis. That's like asking a modern movie fan to stick mostly to silent movies. Why? They don't have the same connection to them. Can we still enjoy the occasional classic game together? You bet. Can we also enjoy playing a modern game like Fortnite together too? Yep. As for "using the original joysticks and hardware," many of us who are still fans of vintage computers and video games sure do go out of our way to bring modern conveniences to the experience, no? The CollectorVision Phoenix is just one very relevant example of that. I don't think it's a bad thing to enjoy the games in a way other than through the original, sometimes fiddly original hardware. It's OK to evolve with the times and expect more, while still enjoying what we first loved all those years ago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is mainly due to the fact it become harder and harder to find a CRT Screen that works, on Colecovision that works , etc.... so we need to find some way to adapt our machine to modern device. It does not mean we like that, we are kinda force to that. Most of us, i think would prefer to play with original devices if they could. Not everybody is able or have time to repair hardware. They just want play. Edited July 28, 2020 by youki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want play. I don't know if I fully agree in the "forced" part. It's still easy enough to have a CRT if you really want one and there are still plenty of working original ColecoVisions out there. I think the desire to video mod a ColecoVision or to put a balltop on the controller or to do any number of other things is to make the experience more enjoyable overall. Even if some of us don't like to admit we've changed, we HAVE changed over the past 38 years, and our expectations with them. And I'll argue again that that's not a bad thing. I don't think any of us are ever trying to replicate the EXACT experience from our youth, just the essence of it, the fun of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad! ?♂️ Still though, it could be any number of games, so I don't think I revealed too much of anything. Guess I should renew that AA subscription so I can edit my comments. ? Anyways, as far as playing CV games by non-traditional means, I'm a hardcore original/real hardware guy, through & through and prefer to play my retro games that way. However, I recently started a job where I'm working nightshift, which has lots of downtime, so I figured I'd download some emulators and transfer some of my roms to my phone so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone - getting my retrogaming fix while at work, all while killing some time. ? Using touch screen controls does suck big time but I'm considering buying some kind of controller to hook up to it. It's not ideal solution, but it's better than nothing and at least I can play some retrogames while away from home.

I still use my old color television (20 inch crt) which I bought way back in 1993. In the last two years I have bought a few extra just to keep it all original. But I have also bought a few Sharp lcd monitors with scart and I love to use them too especially in combination with the MSX2. It's a pity that the old color tv's are disappearing and I simply don't have enough space to preserve them. And preservering means also maintainance. And that is also a problem. I am not a technician. But, if you ask me how I got back into gaming I would tell you that it was due to the internet. Someone told me about MAME and I still have it running on a Windows 98 pc. Yes, with the vertical scanlines to make it play like the original. I wish that I had all the arcade cabinets or at least the PCB's, but MAME gives me the same joy! To me videogames don't need to get better than the Arcade games till the year 1984/1985. Of course I have played with PS or Wii, but I am quite nostalgic ?! Question: Has anyone already listened to the mystic melodies of the Sydney Hunter cd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
