opcode Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 How similar would it be to Sega Master System version? Similar, though different graphics, closer to the arcade version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Any word on Arcade Cabnits on the box's? for LadyBug or Pac-Man SGM ver Not sure if I understand what you mean, but if you are referring to the Coleco box template, we won't be using those. While we understand the Coleco boxes have some nostalgic appeal, we believe we need to create our own visual identity, that better matches the quality of our products. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKELETOR68 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thank you for letting me know, and yes it does make more sence to go the way your going with the box's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I personally like it when new boxes are created without the arcade cabinet style from the old colecovision days. I never really liked that design as it doesn't always apply to games that were never arcade games or highlight cabs that were not all that remarkable. I would be for coleco games to have super colorful artwork with matching spines like Team Pixelboys little logo on the spines with the arcade cabinet (if applicable, in the back) I love it when game developers make new artwork so very different from other games in the library.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I personally like it when new boxes are created without the arcade cabinet style from the old colecovision days. I'm sort of on the fence about them. While on one hand I really like the nostalgic feel of those boxes, and I like that some home-brew games have been released using them as a throw-back, I also really *REALLY* like the direction that Pixelboy & Opcode have gone with their boxes. Remember that even Coleco themselves started getting away from the "arcade cabinet" box design after a couple of years as well. I do like it though, when homebrewers offer different box options or "special edition" versions that go back to the classic design. But that being said, I think Opcode's direction is just fantastic and I can't wait to get them in my hands! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I like the NeoGeo Japan and Mega Drive Japan box / cart art style. TP and Opcode box and art is also very nice. I don't care for the arcade cabinet style, as they are too bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artrag Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Once this game is released, the new business will be new coleco controllers... Fire buttons will have an hard time Edited May 20, 2016 by artrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Once this game is released, the new business will be new coleco controllers...

Pixelboy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The configurable autofire option will help alleviate that. Autofire toggle at any time via the keypad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten-four Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Autofire toggle at any time via the keypad? No Luc.

Pixelboy Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 No Luc. As stated in the Newsletter, Opcode Games, May 2016: " New Options screen offers many configurable settings, including autoshoot and easy mode." Ah, I see. Well, being able to turn autofire on and off at any time during play would have been nice, but for a game like Gradius, one would probably want to keep autofire on 100% of the time anyway.
