VOTE-Most Wanted Arcade-to-ColecoVision Conversion

[Inky]

1) Tron

 

2) Pengo

 

3) Crystal Castles

[Ze_ro]

1. Major Havoc
   
2. Dock Man
   
3. Zookeeper
   

None of these games ever managed to get ported to a console, despite being awesome. Dock Man is a very obscure arcade game by Taito... give it a try in MAME though, it's awesomely outrageous, and entirely do-able on a CV.

[Guitardude]

I've got three more!!!!

 

ummm...I CAN vote again, right?

 

Scramble , Star Castle & Ordyne

[Pixelboy]

My three picks are:

 

1) Moon Patrol (the real deal, not a prototype like the CV ROM that's floating around the net)

2) Arabian

3) Discs of Tron (could use the trackball expansion module!)

 

Other arcade games that deserve honorable mentions as possible CV ports:

 

- Arkanoid

- Asteroids (has it been ported to the CV already? I was too lazy to check...)

- Bomberman

- Elevator Action

- Galaga

- Gravitar

- Kangaroo

- Kung-Fu Master

- Lunar Lander

- Marble Madness

- Mario Bros

- Missile Command (another great candidate for the trackball module!)

- Pengo

- Pooyan

- Qix (assuming it's actually possible on the CV)

- Quarth

- Rip Cord

- Robotron 2084 (is it possible without tons of flicker?)

- Rally-X

- Solomon's Key

- Space War

- Super Sprint (single-player could use driving expansion module)

- Tempest

- Vanguard

- Wacko (fun trackball game)

- Wizard of Wor

 

Since people are going outside the realm of arcade games in this thread, I'd like to voice my own non-arcade CV port wishlist:

 

1) Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (port of Atari 2600 game with improved graphics)

2) Remakes of the SwordQuest games on the CV, with more bells and whistles

3) Adventure (port of Atari 2600 game with more skill levels, bigger maps and more items)

4) Space Shuttle (port of the Atari 2600 Activision game that would use the CV keypad)

[Lord Helmet]

1. Tron

2. Stargate

3. Phoenix

Everyone,

 

Thanks for the participation in this survey. We've been getting a lot of entries, but we hope that more is on the way. One note, this is a survey to find out what are the most wanted arcade conversions, we'll be holding a separate survey for computers and home consoles soon.

 

Thanks again.

[CARTRIDGE STEALER]

my choices would be:

 

1. RETURN OF THE JEDI (never released in the USA)

2. Mr. Do RUN RUN

3. ELEVATOR ACTION

 

 

of course I have an many others including the ULTRA RARE "THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK".

 

but alas, I wouldnt pick any arcade games that came out after the demise of COLECOVISION (1986) because those newer games just wouldnt fit in Coleco's world.

[GrizzLee]

I would like BAGMAN. Please.

I second Bagman.....

Bagman would be very doable and look very nice on a CV.

I'd like to welcome this thread to 2007!

Anyway ColecoNation is not dead; it just moves a little slower these days, it seems.
