retroillucid Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 HelloHere's Dead Tomb for NESI've been working on this game for 2 years now This game is based off Temporel Inc. , an obscure game available through cable service in Quebec, called: Vidéoway. I've also heard it was also available in some parts in UK, The Vidéoway was way ahead of its time, you could play games, and many other features like weather forecast, Lottery results etc.. Sadly, when the serviced was discontinnued in early 2000, all the games were lost (games was temporary downloaded to your device) and the company didn't seem to have preserved the data So I've decided to do a remake of Temporel Inc. Now dubbed; Dead Tomb It is playable in both English / French It is going to be available 1st quarter of 2019 The game is for NES, but with the F18A, I'm thinking to port it to the ColecoVision as well Vidéoway Ad Temporel Inc.

imstarryeyed Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Just got my copy of Dead Tomb for Phoenix in today. The game is awesome and amazing. It plays and flows so nicely with great full screen graphics between rooms that add a lot to the narrative. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I am. I am so happy I bought the game, the interface works really well and the deaths are plenty for arbitrary decisions, which I love... nothing like Sierra game deaths but interesting ones nevertheless. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Great news - glad to hear they are being sent out. Edit - I see this thread seems to be specific to the NES game. I ordered the ColecoVision Phoenix game like @imstarryeyed, but I have not received it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldengalaxiesgaming Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I got my copy today! Here's a quick video I made going over the box, cartridge, and manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Page 7 of the instruction manual (found this like 2 minutes after opening my box) Next to last line... "Developped by Acclaim Montreal" Tried typing this in 4/5 'editors' and ALL 'pointed' out something wrong with the spelling. A minor complaint - but these things still slip by (looks like a bunch of 'French' guys ). See that some others have encountered 'bugs'.... ouch! Not a big deal to me per say but looking for a little better from Collectorvision. (Don't flame on me - just pointing out mistakes - love having games ported/made for my Colecovision & Phoenix!) Waiting for my next new game from you guys. Jeff 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try my best, but yes, English is not my native language and sometimes I do mistakes and my word processor gets confused with the use of French/UK English/US English. I’ve learnt English by playing The Hobbit adventure game on my Oric Atmos computer back in the days, so I guess I’m getting rusty (and old). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldengalaxiesgaming Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I got to the part where you drink an antidote then pick up a rock. After that I'm stuck. What am I supposed to do after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I still have not received my copy or been notified that my order was completed (as was reported by someone). My instinct is to just be patient, but I want to make sure that is the right tactic here. Do we have an idea about when all of the reserved copies will be shipped? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be patient as well but if you haven't received an email about your order check the CollectorVision Facebook page for info or contact them there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swami Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 This game is a great marketing tool for the Phoenix. It’s been showing up on eBay with the description “only works on Collectorvision Phoenix, will not work on standard Colecovision. “ so, think of all the ColecoVision noobs asking “What the tarnation is a Collectorvision Phoenix.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Wow that is a great looking port! I would love to see that kind of port for Phoenix. Of course I would love to see the Phoenix that really pushes the unit. Humm I wonder what the limits of this system are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say somewhere around Aliens Arcade and SNES Super Metroid could be duplicated, but would take forever due to the sheer epicness. Super Metroid was also impressive for the SNES. The NES G. I. Joe games I would guess are a more practical limit. We've seen something like Solstice for NES already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though ColecoVision is my favorite console, I still recommend the Phoenix because it's HD, FPGA, and has a built in Super Game Module.

The TI99 you see in the video have a F18A installed Hence the video, to show what the Phoenix can do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
