mark griff Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Hey Guys quick question I have the MSX emulator for my PC do you know if you can use an atari joystick to play the colecovision games. I can do it on my 2600 and 5200 but not colecovision can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many CV games use two fire buttons, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikrananka Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 This is a very frustrating game and one I can't say I'm having much fun with. The random, and invisible, placement of the Flame Spirit makes having to search for it again and again a boring pain the proverbial. The bats stealing the Flame Spirit from Level 2 onwards is also incredibly annoying. Plus the platform layout seems to always be the same. It's definitely an interesting game, but in my opinion it's too repetitive and frustrating to be a good game. After many attempts I finally got to Level 2 but failed to get further. Score so far is 44,060. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those must read the manual games imo. The use of sound here is really cool, and the instructions help with decoding that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northcoastgamer Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 179,410. Slight improvement. I was jumping to the flame spirit to grab it, then time ran out as I was in the air and it turned into a flame, killing me. Had a sweet run going too, sigh..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an Odyssey2 HSC here at Atariage but it fell by the wayside due to lack of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
