Troy_Whelan Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Are you using this thread for people to sign up for a copy or will there be a order thread in June? How many copies will be available? Coleco style box or CBS as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Any chance for modified colors for the aliens? What they went with for the MSX version just doesn't look very good judging by YouTube videos of it in action.

Atariboy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) That's not what I meant. I meant was there a chance of swapping the original color selections out for something that's better looking, not adding more color. The colors they selected like that shade of green and the purple and pink aliens look pretty awful and mar what's otherwise a fine conversion. Would've been nice to see the primary color of each from the arcade be utilized as closely as possible. Edit: Something like this...

Atariboy Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) So that's the closest they could get? It's a wonder why so many Colecovision games have nice looking colors then since the apparently extremely limited Colecovision palette selection definitely doesn't do Galaga any favors. I think if I bought this, I'd be switching to B&W. I have a picture mode on my Trinitron with color turned off just for things like this where I think it would look better, 2600 games that I grew up playing in B&W, and even movies and tv shows once in a while if I prefer it in B&W (like the later seasons of Gilligan's Island where the introduction of color just made everything look even more fake). I bet this one would look great in B&W and would look a lot like a late 70's arcade game. The 2nd pic doesn't look like it use the CV palette In my defense, while I obviously don't know anything about its technical capabilities, I did say as close as possible to the primary color of the arcade version. I wasn't expecting it to be able to match that example perfectly where I grabbed color samples directly off a screenshot of the arcade game.

ten-four Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Two questions: 1- Do this version have the challenging stage. ? 2- Is the SGM just for enhanced sound, or will ColecoVision Galaga only Work together with the SGM. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Two questions: 1- Do this version have the challenging stage. ? 2- Is the SGM just for enhanced sound, or will ColecoVision Galaga only Work together with the SGM. ? I think I can answer those questions: I expect that the game will be a straight port of the MSX version, so if there are challenge stages in the MSX version, they will be in the CV version as well. As for sounds, I expect that the MSX port of Galaga will use the sound chip in the SGM exclusively, bypassing/ignoring the ColecoVision's sound chip altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 So Eduardo has chosen ColecoVision Galaga only work with the SGM. I came for doubt that CV Galaga without SGM would work with Coleco's own audio chip, and CV Galaga with SGM would have the improved sound.

Whether the ColecoVision version of Galaga is an MSX port or an arcade port, it will require the SGM. That much is certain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) An update to the status of the Telebunny release would indeed be welcome. Any further news that can be shared re.

VectorGamer Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well, FWIW, I do appreciate the fact that when I order a CollectorVision release I'm not waiting a year after I've paid to receive the product. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
