schuwalker Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Anybody else a big fan of this game? I'm in the minority, but I think Slither trumps Centipede for gameplay! I remember my parents bought my brother and I the rolleraball accessory on clearance at Zayre's - remember that store? And became a devout fan ever since! I've been in the arcade scene since the late 70's and have a collection of cabs myself. About 2 years ago, I've been on the hunt for a ded. Slither machine. Let me tell you, this is a *rare* machine! It's so rare even parts are hard to come by! This, Victory and Looping are very rare in the dedicated scene! I thanks the CV to actually make ports of some of these gems! Back to the parts, I finally got one piece for Slither....So if you have any parts for a Slither cab? Let me know! One question... has a boxed Slither ever surfaced or has it ever been comfirmed to even exist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 It's a good game but I don't think it's better than Centipede. It adds a dynamic not seen in Centipede and it stands well in its own right. I think the ColecoVision port is very close to arcade perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapahute Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I made a cbs box for Collectorvision a while ago. It looks a little bit like this : Edited July 10, 2011 by Crapahute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Here are two Homebrew boxes that have been created by avid Coleco enthusiasts. Sorry for the small picture size, but that's all I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Here are two Homebrew boxes that have been created by avid Coleco enthusiasts. Sorry for the small picture size, but that's all I got. These were made by me The left one is the older one, and it look like $hit While the right one is the latest I made, better resolution Now, I need the time to print and sell them, I actually have a couples of boxes made that I need to print but can't find the time to sell them though.....

Definitely interested when the time comes! BTW: Awesome job! So it's safe to say that a Slither box or a Turbo for that matter, never existed?

Pixelboy Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 So it's safe to say that a Slither box or a Turbo for that matter, never existed? That's correct. They were pack-in games for the Roller Controller and Expansion Module #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Here's the Turbo box I made .... (VS a real Pepper II Box) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 And here's the Spectar Box I made, there's also a cartridge label (not pictured) Note that I'm not selling this game, you have to buy it from AtariAge store The box and label I made is to make your Spectar look like a retail Coleco game, that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynxVGL Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Here's the Turbo box I made .... (VS a real Pepper II Box) Any hope of publishing that Turbo box, retro? THAT is the box I want my copy of Turbo to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question... has a boxed Slither ever surfaced or has it ever been comfirmed to even exist? Slither arcade have never seen but for sure one of the best games for the ColecoVision ! LOOPING also a great game, I loved the arcade and had it in the past. Sold it in 1995. A pity the ColecoVision version so bad version and cannot destroy the missile from the top. Some homebrewer can modify the current version ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 As someone just getting back into the CV, this is a bit of a "newb" question but do games like Turbo and Slither need their special controllers or can they be played with regular stock CV controllers?

You can get a modifed Slither rom to use with stock controller on newcoleco website NewColeco also modified Destructor, Turbo and Victory to work with the standard Hand Controller. Would like to see a "Dukes of Hazard" controller hack come to fruition one day as well... maybe then I would actually give the game a little more play time. http://www.ccjvq.com/newcoleco/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get a trackball you'll see how much nicer games like Centipede, Slither, Space Fury, Star Wars, Subroc and Omega Race play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Star Wars really really sucked big time when I played it and wondered why anyone would like it after playing it. I was however using the controller and not the roller controller.
