Ze_ro Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Not bad... the hardware you got with it is especially nice. Aside from Gyruss and Burgertime, all those games are very common though. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerz Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Excellent deal for $40 bucks. Good job!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share Posted February 15, 2004 I figured that the games were mostly commons... but that's ok. I thought that the real jewel of it all was the attachments that came with it (the trackball... driving control w/ pedal and of course the Atari module) I also like the feel of the Slik Stik. I'll have to try it on a few of my Atari games. How much do the Expansion module usually run? I can buy an expansion module CIB for $15. Should I pick that up as well? I would have two of them then, but I could always ebay one of them. I'm going to go look for a few good Colecovision sites really quick. I've got to find out more about it. The funny thing is that I almost bought a PSONE with screen for $40 just 15 minutes earlier. I passed it up and then stumbled across this gem! Now I wish I still had my Beamrider Colecovision cart.

gamerz Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Loose the expansion module usally runs $10 to 415 so CIB for $15 is good. Also click my link for some more info on the Colecovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Eric, check out www.intellivisionzone.com They have a rarity guide that I use for my CV games. You can switch rarity guides with a drop down menu at the top corner of the guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Great site! Thanks for the link. I liked their rarity list. Now if just a current NES list would show up some time. So... how many games are in the Colecovision library? I've seen a list of 150 and then a slightly smaller list. Not that I'll ever be able to find them all... but I've got to have something to shoot for! I'm thinking about selling off my regular Atari 2600s now. Of course I'd keep one... but now that I got this thing, I really don't need so many back-ups. lol I'll probably hold on to this Colecovision until at least around Christmas time. Then I can possibly ebay it to get some more Atari games I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
