unreleased coleco games..........

[CARTRIDGE STEALER]

I just saw a list of unreleased colcovision games and Im wondering if any, if not all, have somehow made it to the black internet market in forms of MAME? if so, anyone have a link?

The only "unreleased" CV games you'll find, aside from some rare unfinished prototypes, are those released by homebrew programmers, such as the recently released Spectar.

The majority of Coleco's announced games were pure vaporware. Some prototype ROMs such as Escape From the Mindmaster are floating around.

Most unreleased Coleco games never got past being a non-playble demo. Coleco would amass a large number of demos to display at the trade shows in order to get the retailers feedback on them. If enough retailers liked a certain game, they'd make it. They also used this large collection of games to put a little fear into the competition.

 

"How do I know this?" You ask me. Well, I've been lucky enough to interview Dave Johnson (the Director of Video Graphics at Coleco from 1982-1985) and I've learned a lot of information about the innerworkings of our beloved Coleco.

 

Want to read the interview? Well, you'll get to in a few of weeks. ColecoNation #8 should be out by mid-April. It'll be worth the wait.

I'm sure you can find roms for a few unreleased Atarisoft CV titles if you look hard enough.

I really wished coleco had survived longer. It was a major part of my childhood. I would have loved to have seen more games for it, especially arcade styled ones. I was an arcade junky and I simply had to have every game on the coleco that was in the arcade. I cant believe it only lasted 3 years. it felt so much longer.

Are you talking aobut opcode's "Pac-Man Collection" demo? If so there's still a nasty bug regarding emulators using physical joysticks. Otherwise the AtariSoft one works just fine.
