imstarryeyed Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You really love Dino Eggs, don't you? I'll join that club. I love Dino Eggs, its a game I discovered on the C64 that, after figuring it out, became very addictive. Any homebrewers out there looking for ideas on porting a game to the Coleco, this would be a great one! 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287701-another-unreleased-cv-game-found-and-preserved/page/9/#findComment-4242930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Eggs for the Colecovision does exist according to first hand knowledge of someone I have known for over 30 years. He went to some computer expon in New York around the 83/84 timeline and at the very least seen a working demo. Is that to say that it was not the full game, he says it was. That said. This thread started January 29 and now going on 3 months around the corner. I mean really???

NIAD Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 You really love Dino Eggs, don't you? I remember seeing all the ads and reviews for it in magazines BITD and waiting for it to be released for the CV... which never happened. Anyway, I can't really say I love it because I never have played the game even thru emulation.

zyzzle Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 ^ I'll join the chorus and state that Dino Eggs is one of the very platform games ever released. I'm shocked that it has never had a homebrew release for CV as well. It would be easy to fit into 32k, and a talented CV programmer could make an outstanding conversion of the game for CV -- there are no technical hurdles and / or insurmountable challenges. The fact that it is mostly static -- no side scrolling or screen scrolling makes it an excellent match. Ditto for CRISIS MOUNTAIN and SHORT CIRCUIT as well, both written by the same author as DINO EGGS.

Mike Harris Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) You have to wonder why it was never released when it falls under other great Canadian software classics such as the Pine Syrup Tester 1.3 and The Official Salmon Cleaning Simulator.

Yes, despite the name, it's not a Quiz at all It plays similar to Qix with a puzzle twist The game can also be played 2 players simultaneously Looks very simple, but it's quite fun actually 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287701-another-unreleased-cv-game-found-and-preserved/page/9/#findComment-4249573 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make me go to Service Canada and get in a line to buy one! LOVE THIS. Sell me a copy and I can pretend that it's 1983, have my own Teleguide kiosk, and am playing "games" while also looking up the weather in exotic destinations like Manitouwadge and Armstrong. I may even build a CV kiosk and stick in the lobby of the Provincial Building in town (I work in it!) to give visitors a thrill. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/287701-another-unreleased-cv-game-found-and-preserved/page/9/#findComment-4249577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
