Kamshaft Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Can I use the site if I'm a recovering former addict? Go nuts! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 A very ambitious project you've got there and so far it's looking GREAT!! I'm looking forward to watching your site evolve. It will evolve, just not sure how fast! LOL And thanks for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkK Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 How would you categorize games that can use, but do not need certain hardware? E.g. a game that has an extra level when the SGM is present? Or a game that can be played with normal controllers, but using a Super Action controller offers more options (e.g. in Search for the Stolen Crown Jewels 2, there is a level, where you have 4 gun turrets; with the Super action controller you can fire from all 4 at all times, with the normal controllers you fire always from the topones (unless those are already destroyed, when it switches to the lower towers)).

NIAD Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 You have Meteoric Shower by Bit Corp. listed in the prototype section, but it actually was a released game in CIB form by Bit Corp., re-released by Telegames as well as a built-in game for the Dina 2-in-1 and Telegames Personal Arcade.

So it's another official release? 140 official titles it is then. Edited May 30, 2015 by Kamshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Looks great! Small issue is that when you are on a game detail screen and it has lots of screenshots, there is no way to advance back and forth manually, we shouldn't have to wait for the screens to switch on their own. Windows PC using Chrome or Firefox. Added! Enjoy! You can now scroll back and forth. Edited May 31, 2015 by Kamshaft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 ROM Updates ! First, thanks to the hard work of the community members Ikrananka, NIAD and Pixelboy.

Nebulon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The site looks great. Please add more pictures, whether it be box covers, people's ColecoVision collections, promotional material from Coleco, trade shows, etc... I especially like the hardware section. Text on one side and a nice big photo on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I notice one of the screen shots of Time Pilot is from the arcade version. As a future addition, perhaps the ability to click on the game's box cover to view a higher resolution version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaling would look , well ... scaled. I removed the ONE arcade shot that accidentally got in there.

Maybe create one image that has them side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main goal is to get everything in there first, then add "different stuff" - Good idea though....I was thinking of doing that from a video perspective.

NIAD Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Looks like some volunteers to handle some of these suggestions are going to be needed, otherwise you're going to have to quit your day job and that may not even provide the necessary time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamshaft Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Today, I added all the additional screenshots from NIAD's collection of the Legacy games. The site now has over 1200 screenshots! (1266 to be exact) I can see how a person like NIAD could go a little stir crazy! Plus a few pieces of box art has been replaced too. 98% of the box is near perfect. Enjoy! Edited June 2, 2015 by Kamshaft 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, anything over 300 pixels wide is really hard to get. Since I don't have any games in Box in order to scan myself. With the help of some awesome people it will happen. But, 300 pixels wide is pretty good no? Edited June 2, 2015 by Kamshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not "must have" things, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I can see how a person like NIAD could go a little stir crazy! That's exactly why I have immersed myself into coaching my son's baseball team and looking forward to the weather finally warming up for good for some further summertime fun. Just need to recharge a bit, but I'll continue to help you in the meantime as much as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamshaft Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I've added a handful of overlays. Games include Super Action Baseball, Super Action Football, Mouse Trap, Fortune Builder and WarGames. The overlays will only be meant for on-screen viewing only. More to come as I get them. Enjoy! If you want to help me with ORIGINAL overlay scans, please send me a PM. Please scan at 600 dpi/ppi Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
