Colecovision fun

So my Colecovision was barely working. Faded colors, sprites sometimes not showing up, other stupid quirks. Yes, I tried cleaning the power switch. I even tried cleaning the reset button. It still was being a barely functional machine. So I decided to get another one off of eBay. I got the cheapest one there. It had no wires, but it said it works fine. Well, I just got the mail today and there was my Colecovision. I opened the box, stuck my wires in, and...

 

IT WORKS! Bright, lovely colors, no missing sprites, working sound, everything is fantastic! Donkey Kong, my go-to test game, works with absolutely no graphic lines. I tried a few other games that weren't working. They work too! So I guess the lesson here is do not leave a Colecovision out in the garage for a couple years. I will always keep it in my room so it won't decide to go bad like my other one did.

 

While waiting for my package, I worked on Flying Hamburgers some more. I changed some colors so the fry shows up better. It used to be a hot yellow. Now it's orange. I changed level 4 to a meadow because it was a mountain and I decided that's really close to the snow level so I changed it. I first it was going to be a beehive, so I composed some fast tempoed music, but it turned out the fry wasn't going to be visible. So I created some (hopefully) calm music for a nice, serene meadow.

So the package came. the mail came. As a bonus, there wasn't anything bad in the mail today! So I'm guessing today will be a good day. I can play a Colecovision and have it work great. I'd get a new Game Gear, but those are really expensive.
