    Laser 2001 (Salora Manager) Expansion Module #1 (Colecovision)

    in ColecoVision / Adam

    Posted · Edited by manu_pkp

    Greetings and apologies for resurrecting a year old topic.

     

    I'm the owner of the Colecovision expansion in question (that photo was taken by me). We (the Pelikonepeijoonit) had heard rumors of these things for a while and knew people that claimed to have owned one in the 80s. Finally we managed to get one from a fellow collector and then later a complete boxed one in a bunch of Salora stuff. It was more than a prototype, though all of them were hand built. We assume a test batch was released and sent out to some stores, but as far as we know, we have the only two in collector hands... But if Coleconut really does have one, would be nice to know.

     

    Here's some more story...

    Here it is being mentioned in a Salora Manager ad.

    And here's the manual that came with it.

    Here's a little project that I've had in my mind for a while :

    You can upload a picture and a small description of the rarest items in your collection and find out what other visitors think of them. Kinda like Hot or Not or Rate my Kitten, but for game collectors.

     

    I just got the site working, but it might need some refining still.. Let me know what you think and take part. Thanks.

    Does anyone draw by hand, scan, and then colorize, etc?

    Here's how mine went. Pretty much.

     

    1. Get an idea

    2. Draw a sketch with pencil on paper

    3. Throw away that sketch because it looks like crap

    4. Draw another sketch and be somewhat happy with it

    5. Scan that picture

    6. Launch Photoshop

    7. Use many hours reproducing the sketch with curved lines (note to self - start saving for a GOOD drawing tablet)

    8. Color in basic colors

    9. Add shadows and blend them in

    10. Add highlights and blend them in

    11. Add details

    12. Add textures (either taken from photos or made from scratch in Photoshop)

    13. Add text and stuff

     

    A somewhat similar process that I used with this picture:
