Say something nice about her.
>12 face buttons>2 shoulder buttons>an analog stickdecades ahead of its time
>>12277382does it run doom?
>>12277393>>>an analog stickWell, no. It's just a big knob you tilt for the cardinal and ordinal directions.Anyway Colecovision has shitloads of good games. It's a box you'll find lots to love on. It's a little temperamental but well worth fixing up, and receives lots of homebrew love.
>my dad works at coleco and he got me a 32x that turns my colecovision into an atari!
>>12277382Near-arcade-accurate Donkey Kong. Yes, I would have loved to have had one back in the day.
>>12277397Kinda>>12277382Great SEGA support, basically an SG-1000 with a way bigger library in terms of catalog, it's a kickass machine.
>>12277382A great console with an unfortunately short lifespan. The company ran out of money and abrubtly ended all video game activity by early 1985. In a better world the console could potentially co-exist with NES for some time and be competitive against the Black Box games.
>>12277382It had a good version of Arctic Adventure. And Frantic Freddy was kind of cool for its time
I've never seen this console before and I thought you were posting a phone.
>>12277531>I've never seen this console before and I thought you were posting a phone.This board really ought to be a 40 years and over only board. Honestly. You should leave.
>>12277531It's one of those consoles that are kinda forgotten by younger gamers like the Intellivision and the Magnavox Odyssey 2
>>12277382Decent Donkey Kong port.
>>12277423>>12277589>Donkey Kongcolecovision donkey kong is the first game I have any memory of playing, couldn't have been older than 3 since it was at me old house
>>12277607That's awesome. I have no memory of the very first game I played, just a handful of probable candidates. You're lucky. Hang on to that memory.
>>12277382>great games>first console exclusive Konami games>better joystick than the 2600 (overlays are so much better)>port of donkey kong inspired the nes platform as a wholeI'm thinking based
>>12277382I can't be the only person on /vr/ who stuck his penis into the expansion module interface port
>>12277382that's one of those old cell phones, right? satellite phones or something?
So what are the good games? and don't just tell me arcade port shit like Donkey Kong
>>12277803They were all arcade ports. CV was the first console to deliver on what Atari falsely promised - arcade quality games at home.
>>12277809>on what Atari falsely promised>falsely promisedoh, my young apprentice....Video arcade games didn't even have color to begin with.
>>12277809>They were all arcade ports
>>12277550>IntellivisionI like dracula where you gotta eat people but the fucking cops and dogs keep trying to kill you as you wander around the world trying to satiate your thirst
>>12277838Who would call Dracula "MY MAN"??
>>12277842would he prefer>my brother in christ?
>>12277818
>>12277393>an analog stickNot analog. But don't worry. I made a controller that has an analog stick. You can use it as a wheel, spinner, or roller.
>>12277823Wasn't that just a rip off of Pitfall?
>>122778861977 was way beyond the beginning, my young zoomer apprentice. Like I stated, video games started out in black and white.
>>12278330What's not analogue about it? Of course it is.You zoomers don't know shit.
>>12277420>picWhat game is that? Is it homebrew? It looks a lot like a Zelda I clone.
>>12278417Alcazar, which is the game that inspired Zelda making Zelda an Alcazar clone.
>>12278418Very interesting, I will have a look at it.
>>12278407holy shit you're retarded they started out green and gray go watch more yt videos retard
>>1227869610/10This is a VIDEO game board and that is not a video monitor.
>>12278720it's a video scope
I don't know. We had this. My Grandma got me it and a dozen games from a garage sale in 1991 for $5. Later that year she got us an SNES to make up for it.
>>12278954That's an obscure one for sure. It's funny just how many of these old consoles from the 70's and early 80's there are that are barely even remembered anymore.
>>12279008That's what defines the true retro era: When vidya wasn't as set in stone as today and you had more than 3 companies trying to compete in the big boy league5th gen was pretty much the last one like this with consoles like the 3DO and the Jaguar
>>12279032I remember reading that the industry was anticipating a second video game crash at the time due to market oversaturation.
>>12278910No.
>>12279032the transitional period in the mid 90s was the peak of that complete smorgasbord of different platforms available. You had all the new next-gen CD stuff, 16bit still kicking strong, add-ons like the Sega CD, multiple hand-helds, 8-bit stuff from the 80s as the legacy budget options still on shelves, LCD games, multimedia PC gaming, Amiga and Macintosh, arcades still alive, weird jap imports and bizarre stuff like the Pippin and Super A'can. And actual retro gaming at the time being pre-nes stuff that was cheap as fuck second hand.
>>12277382better than the 2600
>>12279258It was a great time for sure, but as someone who basically went from the NES > Gameboy > SNES, all other consoles had a weirdness to them. They didn't offer the quality or type of games the SNES could do, or if they did it was outrageously expensive.
>>12278409>We zoomers don't know shit.
>>12279706Correct, but thanks for reminding me about you. You know how feeble us "Boomers" are.
>>12279754So feeble your 12yo boomer brain thinks a basic 4 direction pad with a knob on top is """analogue""". Why are children like this?
>>12280717Wow, you're not smart. Sure it's digital, you fuck.
>>12280720>child says stupid thing>grownups call out child>child throws trantrum Tale as old as zoomFeel free to provide any evidence to back up your ridiculous claim little zoom zoom.
>>12280809calm down son
