Ikrananka Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'll add a positive note to the thread. Definitely my type of game and my pre-order has been placed. Thanks for creating something quite different for the CV (with F18A)/Phoenix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I pre-ordered the game the other night, looking forward to seeing a title that is created to be run on Phoenix. While I was there I also picked up Hustle Chumy (come on it's by Compile, I have to have it!) and Jet Ready that game just looks interesting. I hope Vanguard and Jawbreaker I/II gets another run, the missed the first ones due to be unemployed at the time. I am also looking forward to Eggerland Mystery when it comes out.

Swami Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Can anyone enlighten me on what a point-and-click game on a ColecoVision is? I read online this is a remake of a text-based adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporel Inc. was a game availlable through a cable service box called: Vidéoway The Videoway let you download games (temporarly) to the box device Similar to what Sega did with their Sega Channel later in the 90s The Videoway was available in Canada (was very strong in Quebec Province) first in 1989, then later in U.K The service was running from 1989 to 2006 When Videotron (the company behind the Vidéoway) shut down the service, everything was lost Here's a video record of Temporel Inc.

retroillucid Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Just now, Pixelboy said: Not everything... I'm aware of this PC remake But it's not the original one, so yeah, everything is lost A Videoway programmer had an emulator made in the late 90s But sadly, it's also lost ? I've tried to contact a few people, nothing so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website ordering link says that 85 copies have been pre-ordered and that shipping will start in August. I would think you would be able to order through sometime in July.

+Sargon Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Who do I need to contact about using my CollectorVision club coupon toward a pre-order? I have sent emails and PM's with no response. The coupon doesn't do much good if nobody replies to messages about using it. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
