ColecoVision [OT]

Just got a batch of untested games for a few bucks.

Will test them out soon.

NIce, some good stuff in there!

Tested and all work, most first time!

Mr Do, Jumpman, Mouse Trap, Gorf, Looping, Subroc and Turbo are new to me, the others I already had.

Turbo - obviously only works with the steering wheel so isn’t really playable, but looks impressive.

Gorf is probably the best Space Invaders/Galaxian clone on the system!

Mr Do is kind of like Pac Man crossed with Boulderdash

SubRoc is a kind of a primitive first person After Burner from a submarine

Looping a typical flying game from the era (Like Sky Skipper)

Jumpman Junior is like a weird Lone Runner thing, you can see the Epyx later games in it

Moustrap is a Pacman clone

I wish I could play the arcade version again. It was the first 3d image game I played (I think it was the first one in general) and it was the closest thing to VR in the early '80s.

Nice pickup! Jumpman Junior is my jam!

Now I need to get softboxes for all of them since otherwise my Colecovision are complete :joy:

Actually I’m making up softboxes for Roc n Rope and Congo Bongo too.

I picked up an expansion module to play 2600 games on the ColecoVision for my brother today for $31 CAD after taxes at a local shop that was having a sale. He’s gonna enjoy it.

Colecovision was released just over 40 years ago now…

Might pull mine out this weekend. Will have to rig up composite to the PVM, don’t have a composite set up right now!
