Bartsfam Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I saw some Colecovision games on EBay, but the seller does not list the games, only photos. There is a screenshot of this game: I own 80 games, but cannot place this one. Any idea what the title of this one is?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi Bartsfam. The name is: Flipper Slipper from SpectraVideo 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartsfam Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thank you! I have heard of it, but have never seen a screenshot. It looks kind of like "Break-Out" mixed with "Carnival"? Atari2600.com gives it a so-so review... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcoleco Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRauEUUP51s Yes, it's Flipper Slipper. Edited January 30, 2011 by newcoleco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Your link do not work Daniel. Moreover, I can see it is Spectron in the picture you have put in as a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartsfam Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 What the general consensus on a rating for this. A "B" or a "C" game? One review I read said the controls are sluggish and slow to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One review I read said the controls are sluggish and slow to respond. Depending on your skills in games like Arkanoid, you may find Flipper Slipper too difficult for your taste. The controls are OK when you get used to it. The fast action is annoying sometimes, forcing to just try hitting the ball instead of targeting. Last thing, it's only in the high skill level where the balls change color, and it's a real pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
