Taylor the Gaming Guy Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 How about that one Pac-Man clone for the MSX, "Oh Shit! (or other names like Shit!, Oh No!)." This would be great for ColecoVision, maybe even better for the Super Game Module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sega-Galaga, Zoom 909 or Zaxxon would be really good. The SG-1000 version of Zaxxon has been released for the Colecovision as Zaxxon II, but the others, like Bomb Jack and Galaga haven't been SG-1000 ported as far as I know.

Taylor the Gaming Guy Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 I was also able to find some of Pixelboy's ongoing projects. And I can't wait. Also, I know that Arkanoid for the Coleco has been released, but did anybody try to port the MSX version of the game for Coleco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arkanoid release for the Coleco by Collectorvision is a port of the MSX version, but you need the Super Game Module to play it. Was the MSX version good?

There is a port of Night Knight in the works for the ZX Spectrum Next but that's being done by another coder. So, Night Knight for the ColecoVision would also have to be done by someone else.

The programmer, Francisco Téllez De Meneses, developed for both systems simultaneously. If more programmers do this, there will be stable ports for both systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both have great colors/sprites/gameplay and of course as with most SG games fantastic music and sounds i think the existing colecovision of Bomb Jack is way better than the SG1000 version.

Neogeoman Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 4 hours ago, Taylor the Gaming Guy said: I even put the demo on MSX. I played both of them, I think the sg1000 bomb jack has it beat. Like most SG games the music and sounds are way better. Plus the sprites are more defined with better use of colors. The coleco version has no sound effect or music when you clear a screen it just goes silent and then onto the next screen, found that kinda week. No sense of accomplishment. The sg even has a sound for when bomb jack loses a life plus he flips over on his head. That's a nice little touch and attention to detail. Plus it's not as floaty, but that's just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colecovision is really closer to the arcade version then the SG 1000 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, I do agree, also, the theme is used in a lot of ports in Bomb Jack, but I don't know why it was never released for the arcade and the ones that used arcade music.

NIAD Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Bomb Jack and Hero have been done already on the CV, so I see absolutely no reason to revisit them especially since the other versions mentioned can easily be played thru emulation. There’s only one game worth a new release and sounds like that one will be coming soon. Aside from that, enhanced versions with all new levels would be the only thing that peeks my interest (ie: Gorf and Venture Super Games being worked on by CollectorVision) akin to what Coleco did with their Zaxxon and DK Jr. Super Games.

Taylor the Gaming Guy Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Does anybody think of actually putting bootleg games, like Korean, onto the ColecoVision like Super Boy (I, II, and III), Cyborg Z, and Dr. Hello? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Hey Pixelboy, I don't know if it exists or not, but would it be possible to port Sony's Coaster Race to the Super Game Module with the driver expansion or controller?

Pixelboy Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I suppose it's possible. I'd leave the publishing part to someone else, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
