TPR Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I'm Chrome running Vista, with Colecovision in the search, and I only get about 2,000 results. Pure Colecovision and nothing else.... In the upper right of the screen I have a box to check if I want to include it in the description. As of tonight seems it's all been fixed. Not getting the crap I was getting before. While that was certainly annoyed for a day or two, nice to see that eBay was at least on top of it.

NIAD Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I just found the strangest version of Donkey Kong...it has the label as normal but it has Donkey Kong himself on the label too. is this real? There were numerous custom labels made over the last 15-16 years and I think I know the one you described, but would neednto see a picture to know for sure. Usually the actual game code burnt onto the rom chips is the In-House version with the 4th level (Pie Factory) that has no sprite collision detection implemented.

Bartsfam Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I collect Colecovision press kits and advertisements and won this one this past week, at a very good BIN price. I can't say I've ever seen this particular advertisement before, but it is pre-release, as the controller pictured still has the spinner on it. Anyways, I thought that I would share the scans with everyone. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/187319-colecovision-auction-watch/page/177/#findComment-3587412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartsfam Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Are those controllers with the rollers different? One looks like a black roller and the other one looks grey.

NIAD Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ya, they are different. .. I believe NIAD can provide a more detailed response... I'll try and take a clearer pic The controller on the left (with missing control knob disc label, black roller and dark grey firebuttons) is an early prototype. What you don't see is the back side where rivets are used instead of screws to hold the two halves of the controller case together. I'm not sure if it is fully functional seeing as the previous owner never shared that bit of info with me. The controller on the right (the same as the one I have) is a finished product that is completely working. It looks exactly like the hand controllers that were sold with the ColecoVision, except for the added Speed Roller.
