+5-11under Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Here's my collection... Milton Bradley Microvision - North American items: Phaser Strike (without the "Star Trek") (missing manual): Milton Bradley Microvision - European items: I'm happy enough having one of each number; I won't be collecting from each language/country. However, missing "console" box and label for #4. Also, most of the boneyard (boxes are empty): 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice! I loved the Microvision as a kid, and still do today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Europe had better buttons that didn't wear as bad as the pancake buttons. And the screens, I think, were more durable. Europe wins again!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Having the originals in your hands, together with experience with programming for the ColecoVision, you should do a CV collection cartridge with reproductions of these games, 5-11under!

+5-11under Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Very nice collection. Thanks! The pictures are old, though. Now I have at least one of each of the European games, boxes, and manuals. The only major thing I'm missing is a box for the European console. There are variations from different European countries, but I'm happy enough to have one of each game. I also have the non-"Star Trek" Phaser Strike and box (but no manual).

I've thought about it, but I have other "plans" in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe wins again!? Generally, yes. Definitely on the North American ones there tends to be a fair bit of creases and other defects. However, sometimes (on rare occasions) the European buttons snap off (but only if mis-used, I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I've thought about it, but I have other "plans" in this area. Aww, that's too bad. A single-cart compilation of these games would be cool, especially if it was designed to be played with the Roller Controller to emulate the knob. Can you imagine a single homebrew CV cartridge with 12 different controller overlays in the box? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep0cDrO5k5w 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
