  1. Sounds a reasonable price given that it works and it includes a lot of things. Anyway you can negotiate towards $100 as NIAD has pointed before, maybe $120.
  2. I can strongly recommend it as today I've received a lot of cartridges in excellent state
  3. I just have received a lot of Colecovision cartridges from Mumbai and them look awesome, almost new :) Excellent service and +1 for quality.
  4. I second that. Recently I've got three CIB MSX games from Europe that are hard to find (Gradius , Gradius II and Vampire Killer ) and I had to pay 200 euros including shipping. eBay is driving prices very high .
  5. In fact I've saw several barcode readers with PS/2 keyboard interface that indeed share the cable with a common PC keyboard. So if someone can develop an interface for Colecovision to use a PS/2 keyboard then the same could be easily used for a barcode reader.
  6. :) Check Colecovision's Princess Quest box front :) at my site nanochess.110mb.com
  7. Just I've found Colecoville http://www.tomheroes.com/Video%20Games%20FS/video%20games/coleco/coleco.htm
  8. If it's for testing your games in a real Colecovision, I'd suggest strongly to get an Atarimax Ultimate Colecovision SD cartridge. (check http://www.atarimax.com) This way you can load your programs directly in the SD memory and then plug it in the Atarimax cartridge, it's faster than programming/erasing EPROM and you don't have to solder. Also is pretty difficult to insert an alone PCB. Besides Atarimax is currently including two games from Collectorvision: Mr. Chin and Mario Brothers.
  9. Really?, retroillucid crosses the street to deliver to Pixelboy? that's fun
  10. Thank you! About difficulty screen I mean to center everything as a whole to not disalign numbers. Really I'd prefer to push a button to continue instead of reset. In my setup, I've my Colecovision near my TV and I'm sitting in a chair, so I have to get up to push the reset button. Just my 2 cents
  11. Welcome to the forums. You'll need to insert an Atari 2600 cartridge in the expansion module #1. Otherwise you get only a blank screen.
  12. It's not really a new thing. My games Princess Quest (MSX/Colecovision) and Mecha Eight (MSX) integrate random appearance of enemies so the player does not get bored with same order each time. The random counter is active all the time while the title screen/story runs, so when the player press the start button the seed is always different. And ability to redesign levels on the fly is still in early stages, as human creativity is what makes them challenging/surprising/beautiful.
  13. I can confirm that I've seen again the line bug, I didn't take a picture and now I cannot replicate it! I made two "towers" in the bottom part of screen and then I was making a left bump in the corner of right tower and the horizontal line appeared between the two towers. I think I was changing my mind on direction and did a brusque movement in the last moment because the crawling guy was coming towards me. By the way, I think it would be very appreciated a way to reenter game after losing without pressing reset. Also the difficulty selection screen should be centered just to keep aesthetics.
  14. ¡Muy bien! Será interesante conocer de desarrollos mexicanos
  15. Yep, certainly one of the most creative labels I've seen. Unfortunately it's somewhat damaged.
  16. I'm more in the Colecovision side, but almost all my friends are Atari 2600 fans, so I've bought several Missile Command, Space Invaders and Pacman for gifts, amazingly almost none of my friends had them.
  17. Berzerk as a zombies game! LoL
  18. Sure, here it is: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-fire-bird_27476.html I've other four taiwanese bootlegs: Enduro, Fantastic Game (32 games, not working), Seesaw (Circus) and Tooth Brush (Pacman, not working)
  19. I believe that homebrew games quality has improved very much in comparison with 1983 and remember that units are very limited. Personally I've surprised myself getting some homebrews like Side Trak and Way of Exploding of Foot from retroillucid, also I'm in the waiting list for various Pixelboy releases, and last and not least, I'll get an Super Game Module and Donkey Kong Arcade So I think that this will be a great year for Colecovision , no chance for a crash
  20. My upcoming Zombie Near has two players at same time mode, though them are in separated buildings (i.e. they never encounter) But anyway is incredibly fun to play with another person to find who gets out first or who loses first.
  21. I feel bad for you. I know how hard can be finding things over the years and then losing them by an accident like this.
  22. I think my rarest cartridge is Fire Bird, a taiwanese bootleg for Demon Attack. I believe it's rare because nobody saw it before, in fact I've contributed with a scan of sticker for atarimania.com database. For me that is better than a R7
