  6. New blog post! It's part five of my quest to make my very own #ColecoVision. This time, I let other people build one too, and make sure I actually included all the parts! There's still some bugs to work out, but I do still love my first clone system.

  8. Oggi si sente spesso parlare di videogiochi di genere "Roguelike".

    Roguelike o Rogue-like perché per concetto sono ispirati al vecchio videogioco del 1980 "Rogue".

    Ma avete mai visto il gioco #Rogue da cui tutto è nato? Eccolo 👇

    Non esattamente la versione originale ma un clone di @nanochess del 2019 per #Colecovision #Memotech ed #MSX in soli 8kb.

    Nonostante i suoi 46 anni sulle spalle, è ancora oggi estremamente divertente.

  9. This week on the blog: I wrap up playing with my game board rendering by trying out various ways I could make it render on the TMS9918A chip. We get a lot of options without needing a lot of tricks!

  10. Feels so great to finally have the complete @[email protected] collection! 📚 Excited to dive into the early years of #Gaming Thank you so much, Jamie, for helping us get these on the shelves! 🙏 ♥️ #Booksky #Atari #Intellivision #Colecovision #PCGaming

  11. A quick shot this week on the blog: I really like the ColecoVision as a retrodev platform, but I'm not a fan of the 12-second boot screen that also claims every program ever is copyright Coleco.

    So today we fix that.

  12. New blog post time!

    This week's game is Gateway to Apshai, the last original game in the Dunjonquest series that blends early action RPG and roguelike ideas in an interesting, friendlier, and more "consolized" way than the complex computer games it's related to.

    Perhaps most surprisingly to me, you can even play it on a ColecoVision!

  13. @aoineko @angiebaby not to forget the #SEGA SG-1000, which is basically the same hardware of the #ColecoVision (and it's the base for what then became the #MasterSystem) 😄

  15. So I was in #Winnipeg yesterday, I've gotten a little driving gig that happily includes delivering a little girl and her grams to visit her mom, who works in the city. Having delivered my passengers to their couple days' visit, I was gonna grab a few groceries and make haste back home, where I sold a pizza to a neighbour for dinner.

    But going by the Value Village, something called out to me. I didn't know what it was, but I heard the call, dear credulous believers, and in I went. I found a working fan for ten bucks, but that was not the treasure.

    The treasure, which I do not have right here to photograph, is a ColecoVision Super Action Controller, by far the most ridiculous expression of a 9pin game controller of the 80s Consoles.

    I never owned a #ColecoVision, but even at the time, we knew it was a cut above all other consoles, never deposed until the NES. Modern assessments support this; it was truly a marvel, and absent the '83 crash, #Coleco would have had a bright future.

    And even if I had, I would absolutely never have had sufficient financial agency to purchase the Super Action Baseball (one of three known games that used these controllers) set that included two of these, but I remember seeing a picture of this controller, and thinking to myelf, man, whoever can afford that setup must be having a great time.

    Granted, controllers got even more complex later, but this thing. This thing.

    Four colourful trigger buttons. Not one, but four.
    A red-ball Joystick with classic "squishy" action like the venerable Atari joysticks.
    A phone keypad. GenX will recognize this layout of keys as central to our social lives, at one point, and perhaps it harkened to an eventual concept of involving phones or modems in the games. Who knows what Coleco would have done.
    And beneath that, a scroll wheel such as you'd find on any modern mouse, but horizontal. Apparently it stands in for paddle-style controllers as well.

    I'm not about to get into retro consoles, though the MiSTer is very intriguing, and if I ever have the disposable income for that, I expect it will indeed spend some time as a ColecoVision.

    Meanwhile, I have the Super Action Controller. It terminates in a standard 9pin Atari-style controller that dominated consoles and home computers alike until Nintendo leveraged the power of Italian plumbers. I also have a hoarder's pride of electronic bits and bobs, microcontrollers, etc, to interface this to whatever might take fancy. And I still have a week off, cause my holidays track student holidays. Though I'm working a lot during it, as it turns out, but that's fine.

    What should I make it do, #Fediverse? How do I bring more Super Action into my life with this controller?

  16. Super Cobra es uno de esos videojuegos primigenios que parece simple… hasta que te acuerdas de que en 1981 sobrevivir más de dos minutos ya era motivo de orgullo.

  21. ... did I mention that with the latest #devkitSMS you can write software (like... games, for instance!) for the #SEGA #SG1000 / #SC3000 and also compile them for the #ColecoVision too? 😁

  22. What a weird coincidence! 😲

    Today is #SEGA Mark III's 40th anniversary from its original release - and this morning I have pushed an updated devkitSMS/SGlib that adds support... for the #ColecoVision 😅

    Anyway, I hope you like it. Basically now porting your SG-1000/SC-3000 game to the ColecoVision is just a recompilation away. 😁

  23. How #Gauntlet is possible on the #Colecovision with all those sprites is beyond me. On the NES all the enemies were a part of the background layer. (If I remember right) I don’t think the Colecovision can do that even though this game requires the expansion pack basically making it an MSX. It’s impressive to say the least for what the Colecovision is. #retrogaming

  24. I thought I lost this for a second, but it was packed away in my over filled closet. I got too much stuff.😅 It’s not what I should have been doing, but it was eating at my soul not knowing where it was after wanting to use it last night and it not being where I thought it was. #SuperGameModule #Colecovision #retrogaming
