NIAD Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Go to Pixelboy’s website for news of games that he has in development and plans to release. Go to Opcode’s Subforum here and his website for info and join his mailing list. Go to CollectorVision‘s Subforum here for all the latest news and their website for additional info. Most, if not all, Homebrewers will usually post info here as well. Also checkout their Facebook, Twitter, etc. pages for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor the Gaming Guy Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm also wondering if anybody is doing Ascii's game, The Castle. Either the MSX port or SG-1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched it up and came to Electric Adventures. Thanks for the response. I was also able to seek Steve Begin's other things like Mr. Do's Wild Ride.

Leeroy ST Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Didn't someone port a downgraded Metal Gear I to the MSXI? It makes me wonder if one could port the NES version to the ColecoVision. The way the sprites look definitely makes it seem possible and they aren't very far in power, just that the Famicom has tile game support built in (and it's mandatory) which works well for this style of game. It doesn't really look like it uses much in the way of graphical enhancements in the carts it looks very close to a native Famicom game outside some of the backgrounds. I think it's possible even without the SGM without much sacrafice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible even without the SGM without much sacrafice. I barely even know if Metal Gear was released for the original MSX, just only MSX2. Maybe Opcode should add in the V9938 / V9958 and MSX2 codes onto the Super Game Module 2. Also if I'm not mistaking, the ColecoVision has some code with the NES / Famicom itself, maybe from this website: https://rec.games.video.classic.narkive.com/h7k24NV0/cvb-could-colecovision-games-play-on-the-master-system Also, ColecoVision is playable on SG-1000 and Master System, just find some of the zips here: https://www.smspower.org/forums/9867-SG1000ToColecoVisionPorts Edited August 24, 2020 by Taylor the Gaming Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the Famicom and Coleco are pretty similar in power aiming for two different game design philosophies, I don't believe any console released before 1986 is double the power of the NES. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jltursan Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) In fact there's a "downgraded" Metal Gear for MSX1 ?. I mean, not exactly the original script; but with the same mood you can find Prisoner of War. Superb game!

artrag Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Naturally it is a totally original game coded from scratch, nothing to do with the original Metal Gear if not the inspiration and the atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Regarding the Sord M5, I remember that PowerPac was ported to ColecoVision. Otherwise I'm not sure if the library contains much not already on ColecoVision. Also it is a very small scene for homebrew, and just currently people have started to look into porting more MSX1, SG-1000 and ColecoVision games to the Sord. Also the reference to the Usenet discussion 15 years ago is not very useful as it clearly was written with tongue in cheek as an attempt to pull legs of unaware readers. The Famicom has a different CPU, different graphics system, different sound, different inputs even than the ColecoVision has. While there are semi-automatic tools to convert code between different architectures, a lot of hand work and complete rewrites are required to get it to run. Without having looked closer at the technical differences in how to program the 9939 (MSX2) vs the 9929 (MSX1), I think it would be a much lesser task to convert any MSX2 code to CV than convert any NES/Famicom code to CV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelboy Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 If you're in the mood to port an MSX homebrew to the ColecoVision, may I suggest Night Knight? It's a recent release similar to Miner 2049er that looks kinda fun. Otherwise, I would suggest porting "Do! Run Run" (known as Super Pierrot on the MSX) which looks rather good when compared to the arcade version. Do change the title screen to match the arcade game, please. There's also The Fairyland Story on MSX which may be interesting to port, given that it has many levels. Fans of Bubble Bobble may enjoy that one. A port of Lunar Ball could be interesting, or maybe Konami's Boxing. Just my two cents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ideas for homebrew, how about Final Justice, Swing, and Crusader, I want to see that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor the Gaming Guy Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 While we're here, I want to see Poppaq the Fish on the Coleco or any type of Ascii or Mass Tael game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyBoss Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Mass Tael/Ascii games already released for the ColecoVision: Telebunny and Sasa. I have been thinking about port Poppaq the fish, but it seem like the game is a bit to simple to be fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neogeoman Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Would love to see an SG-1000 PORT of hero and bomb jack. Both have great colors/sprites/gameplay and of course as with most SG games fantastic music and sounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sega-Galaga, Zoom 909 or Zaxxon would be really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
