BIGHMW Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Well, like the title suggests which ones do YOU want to see on Big Sexy and/or XEGS? We already had 2600 and Intellivision threads but now it's time to conjure up some thoughts for the 5200's biggest rival competitor, so let's hear it, I'll start first: Space Fury Pepper II Mouse Trap Lady Bug Frenzy Time Pilot (already a homebrew on the 8-bit/XEGS) Here is a whole list of them for your records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ColecoVision_games#U.S. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayik Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Not trying to be a downer. But quite frankly, none. I’m happy with the 5200 catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybot67 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I would love to see a port of Turbo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTrust Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Most everything on the CV that I would want to play now is available on one of the Atari systems I have in a comparable version, and those that aren't wouldn't happen in a million years anyway. So this might as well be a list of my favorite CV games not on the 5200, but hey, since you asked: It's Only Rock n' Roll - Always loved this one, and my username comes from the name of your band's shyster manager, so it would be great to see it in a proper Atari version. 2010: The Graphic Action Game - Great graphics, sound, and atmosphere from the movie. Very 80s in an authentic, not kitsch-y way. Fortune Builder - People talk about how the CV was all arcade ports, but it had really great simulation games, and this is one. Great 8-bit renditions of Vivaldi and Mussorgsky tunes. The CV is almost entirely responsible for my appreciation of classical music. So many games on the system had them. The Heist - Not a lot of platformers on the 5200. This one would be a good fit. B.C.'s Quest for Tires II: Grog's Revenge - The first one got onto Atari, so what gives? Looping - 5200 would likely have better scrolling. Would love to hear Bach's Invention 8 in F Major coming out of the POKEY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 New to the Coleco and only barely explored it yet, but I've played most every 5200 game. I was recently playing Antartic Adventures-mebbe not the BEST game in the World, but fun, and seems like it'd work well on the 5200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty great retro system with a library full of ports you can't get elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it could be made on the 2600 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get it open, however, it’s not too difficult to identify and replace the bad transistor(s) that are almost always the trouble. And you didn’t even mention the flaky power switch and the hard to repair motherboard! So, yeah, original Colecovision hardware isn’t great. (With the arrival of the Phoenix, I doubt I’ll be using it much any more.) So I totally grant that original hardware probably isn’t the best solution for someone not comfortable with repairing it. But finding some other way to play it’s excellent library of games is probably preferable to waiting for 5200 conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the a little kid at the time when the TV show was a big deal here in the states, Smurf Paint n' Play Workshop was the one that got all the love. That thing was nuts for a Colecovision cartridge. Crate your own scenes, record your own animations, just play around sandbox-style. We played it for hours; wore the top layer off the keypad with it. Best thing about Rescue was how the Smurf died: one frame 270° rotation and "clunk". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw the 8-bit version on youtube. PLEASE would someone convert it to the 5200??? Holy crap it's near perfect - has the Alien saucer screen too!!

+x=usr(1536) Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Being serious for a moment, I'd like to see the following ported to the A8 / 5200: Exidy games (particularly Mouse Trap and Pepper II) Taito games (Front Line) Universal games (Do! Run Run and Mr Do!'s Wild Ride in particular - also Jumping Jack) Other than that... Don't really have much interest. I would much rather see these as ground-up ports rather than attempts at bringing over the ColecoVision versions, however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathchild Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Not aware a binary was released for Mr Do! apart from to testers so sad that this seems out although any version should be subject to the remaining bug so it's not a biggy. It's been too long since I've been able to get back to that and I might have posted an early one on the forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
