RickR Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Nope, it's fine. I think you press star or pound on the controller to start. The number keys will change the options (1 = 1 player, 2 = 2 player, fast/slow, music/no music). Prepare for fun. I think I might have a few extra Colecovision carts. PM me if you are interested. Maybe a trade or something. Edited May 4, 2014 by RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LidLikesIntellivision Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My tip: Atarimax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My tip: Atarimax I second this...but make sure to buy the AtariMax SD Cart and not the USB Cart. The SD Cart comes with two very good Homebrew games and you can place all the CV rom images onto it and use the built-in menu system to choose which game you want to play. AtariMax has detailed info on his site as well as a video of it in operation. If you want to buy the actual game cartridges, follow Nanochess' suggestion and checkout Mumba's sale thread in the AtariAge MarketPlace. He has extremely fair prices and it will be cheaper to buy a group of carts through him instead of buying a cart here and a cart there through eBay. Welcome to the CV family!
