Swami Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 12 minutes ago, Kiwi said: This game uses 1 controllers. Moving the controller pad will move your ship in all direction. The fire 1 button fires your forward laser. To fire your upper, lower, or back laser, hold a direction and press fire 1. Fire 2 button will shoot laser from both guns on top and bottom of your ship. You can use the keypad 2,4,6,8 to fire your laser in specific direction while being stationary. You're limited to fire 3 lasers on screen. You can pause your game by pressing the zero key. Tooooo cool! So, hypothetically, someone could make a stick/4button or twin stick arcade controller if u/d/l/r were wire for 2, 4, 6 and 8, or whatever. Then we just need Robotron 2084... is that the secret game? Yo! Mr Eddladdin! I have an idea for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Or have input from two controllers connected to the Roller Controller. The left controller moves the ship and the right is for controlling the direction on your shots/laser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option would be the four SNES controller buttons on the pheonix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Psionic Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just thought I'd add that Jennell Jaquays actually commented on Vanguard at 12:07 in this video of a presentation given at the 2017 PRGE. Apparently they had already gone as far as acquiring an original cab to study when the deal fell through. They soon picked up Cosmic Avenger as a substitute.

Liked the video but her incorrect use of factoid is driving me nuts haha Apparently there is a second meaning I wasn't aware of that would cover her use of it Edited August 7, 2019 by zaphro72 accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Psionic Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Speaking of vaporware...at 20:30 the game Skiing is also brought up, which 4D eventually worked on a version of. But by then Coleco was apparently no longer interested in publishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you saying the different buttons and keypad had different functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I wanted both games but had to get Challenger as I love Centuri games and there were only 50 left and will never be made again! Ugh my poor budget... I am hoping to get Vanguard on another print run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt you could sell another 100, especially when people start playing it and report on it. It's fun to get new homebrews, etc. But originally promised titles probably trigger a little something extra for the old fans of the system. You have NO IDEA how much I debated on ordering it or not.

I think you're highly wrong on this! The last perfect CV arcade port I've seen for ColecoVision has been a couple years ago This is not a simple MSX/SG-1000 conversion here, we're talking about a faithful arcade port done from scratch, and with passion....and it shows!
