ColecoVision 8bit Music - Super Ghouls and Ghosts (Rob Hubbard style) newcoleco 2020-11-01 | One of my lost work. It's a music composition done in July 2010, my a ColecoVision rendition of a Super Ghouls and Ghosts music for the SNES but in the style of C64 chiptune heavily inspired by Rob Hubbard style by filling up silences with drum and other sound effects.

ColecoVision 8bit Music - Commando all musics and soundfx (Rob Hubbard style) newcoleco 2020-10-15 | This video was recorded in 2018, but was never published. It shows the final work of my years perfecting my ColecoVision music composing talent, a difference between the early version of my work inspired by Rob Hubbard's Commando music and sounds for the C64 version. All the musics are done,, including the missing helicopter intro music, and all soundfx. Enjoy!
ColecoVision 8bit Music - Ducktales (Disney) newcoleco 2018-05-28 | I've always wonder how Ducktales would have sound for the ColecoVision game system. This is my 8-bit chiptune PAL version cover of the Disney's Ducktales theme song with a simple title screen that looks like there is a game there... but there isn't. I've programmed this in a day. The original song was released in 1987. The ColecoVision game system was released in 1982.http://atariage.com/forums/topic/279193-music-colecovision-ducktales-1987

ColecoVision 8bit Music - Jump (Van Halen) newcoleco 2013-11-11 | Chiptune composed on and off during 4 days, using all channels of the sound chip. Proposed to be used in ColecoVision version of a port of Rip Cord (arcade game made in 1979 which involves JUMPing out from a plane, avoiding obstacles and landind safely on the ground to make points). Coded each note into hex values one by one. Enjoy
ColecoVision 8bit Music - Poker Face newcoleco 2013-08-06 | This music took 2 days to code (and it loops). I hope you appreciate the effort put in this music.Recorded with BlueMSX which always decided to record sounds mostly on the left channel, to fix that (like I did on my other music videos) I've to reprocess the video with VirtualDub and copy left channel to the right one to equilibrate. If someone knows how to fix that in the emulator itself, please do tell.

Computer Chess - Stockfish 2.11 and Houdini 1.5a versus Komodo 3 newcoleco 2011-10-23 | A side by side comparaison, 2 games, same number of moves, same openning C8, Komodo 3 playing black in both case, but 2 different results. If you are a chess master (or higher), feel free to comment. I've also PGN file of these 2 games if you want to take a look on the time used and their thinking. Houdini 1.5a is considered the strongest free chess engine around. I personaly consider Komodo 3 as the second free strongest ex-quo with Fire xTrem, but there is a whole debate on the subject in forums actually. Stockfish was my favorite free chess engine for the last 2 years, but time changed. Why I've done this video? I think chess masters might find interesting to compare the 2 games and try to find the key movement that kinda decide "win" or "lose". And I'm fascinated by computer chess programs and I want to program one eventually, even if I'm not a good chess player myself. I don't expect to program any chess engine as strong as these 3, but I can dream.

GhostBlaster - Trailer and News (October 2011) newcoleco 2011-10-21 | GhostBlaster is a perfect ColecoVision game to play during Halloween time. It was done to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of CCJVQ (a retrogaming collectors club), and to show that it's not necessary for homebrew games to be related to an existing arcade game to be real fun and professional.This amazing cool fake movie trailer was done in Flash during 4 days based on my ColecoVision homebrew game released in 2009 named GhostBlaster. The game is available as a ROM file, but also in cartridge (well, for a limited time, and now again available with the help of Dale Wick).Note : For those who can't pass the first level, it's probably because you can't do the jumps to reach the top, which means you have a bad joystick... don't blame teh game, clean and repair your game controllers.CV ROM files can be found at my official ColecoVision web site herehttp://www.ccjvq.com/newcolecoPlenty of informations and manual in pdf format at my dev blog herehttp://newcoleco.dev-fr.org/p4155/2009-06-14-colecovision-ghostblaster.htmlFor a cartridge (during October-November 2011), contact Dale Wickhttp://www.adamcon.org/cartridge.htmlP.S.: I bet you can't resist... you've to watch the video more than once. :)

Go to this link to find an up-to-date link and discussion about this mod. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/536584-181-handy-recipes-v07-need-risugamis-modloader Before you ask, this mod is actually for Minecraft 1.8, a new version will be done after the official release of Minecraft 1.9
Rusty Hearts - My first impression? Nice but unstable and not well tested newcoleco 2011-10-17 | This is my first impression of the game after 3 hours playing it. This is my third time opening the game and of course I had a bad news right at the beggining by NOT SEEING MY CHARACTERS I'VE PLAYED SO FAR... And why it takes a zillion of tries to name a character? I had to think about objects in my house as a name of my character instead of a real name... it's crazy! Seriously, this game is unstable and not worth downloading it and playing it. It crashes, freezes, even closes before running if X-TRAP consider you are cheating by using a screen capture software or even leaving a task manager open (which is my case). The loading time depends mostly on the hardware your computer is using, but my computer should be able to load and play this game considering that I can load and play a game like Broderlands just fine... but it takes ages for Rusty Hearts to load as you'll see in this video if you didn't decided to stop it by thinking that I'm doing a joke here... it's not a joke, it's the time it takes for me to load the game. To compare, Borderlands load incredibly more faster than this game on the same computer. This game has no excuse to take that much time. Because some of you may not believe me when I say that my characters are gone, ask my friend if we played in a party an hour before I've recorded this video with a character named "Aspirateur" (vaccuum cleaner). And you'll all see the loading time and the stupid issue of invisible ennemies... my friends don't believe me when I say that I've invisible ennemies in this game. And a message to those who want to flag this video : I'm not even using the audio part, and it's clearly a critic, a review of some sort, so it's covered by "fair use". And if you've problem with that, go watch something else! geez!
Minecraft Pixelart - Kermit the Frog by Frogziller newcoleco 2011-10-12 | This video is about Frogziller doing a pixelart of Kermit the Frog. I've offered to be the camera and this is the result. I've recorded this video with something called bandicam, added a soft computer generated female voice (maybe too soft?), sound effects and music while doing the montage with AVS Video Editor. Audacity was helpful to grab sounds and make them wav files because somehow I can't hear ogg vorbis format in the video editor. If you want to see by yourself the huge amount of pixelarts we did so far, you're welcome. From the spawn point, go upstairs and walk on the "sky road" by following the rising sun, and after a long walk just follow the clouds and you should be very close to your destination. Server : mc1316.servercraft.co:8465 Music : Cipher, Electronica (US-UAN-11-00844) Frogziller said to me on skype while I was uploading the video : "u could say 'after being politly told there were too many marios by an lone standing sign the planed mario was changed to a super cool kermit, lol"
Minecraft - Rainbow pixelart by Frogziller and Legislatrice (timelaps = 3.5x faster) newcoleco 2011-10-10 | Frogziller joined the Minecraft server, horrified by "too many chickens". We started to chase and kill the chickens, and then after Frogziller decided to start a rainbow pixelart. I've decided to record it, making a timelaps video, and Legislatrice decided to help and pretty much made the whole rainbow. Visit us, Minecraft server : mc1316.servercraft.co:8465 As you can see, the framerate is better in this video, compared to the "too many chickens" one, and the reason is simply because in this video there is not hundred of chickens lagging my computer. As an extra, I don't know if you noticed but... female player characters in this video have breasts... something not in the official game. I've programmed and added this into my Minecraft.jar file to get this effect... took an entire day but I really like the effect, it looks like these characters are breathing.

Minecraft - Too Many Chickens!!! newcoleco 2011-10-10 | My friend and I was bored one night, so we decided to play a little bit of Minecraft and start building machines that throw eggs on a fire target... and this is the result. Really not good to make cooked chicken for sure, but quite fun to watch. Sorry for the bad frame rate, the game was too laggy because of SO MANY CHICKENS!!!
Minecraft Mod - MultiTool by NewColeco newcoleco 2011-08-12 | This tool can replace an axe, a pickaxe, a shovel, a hoe and a sword... and can cut leaves like shears too. The durability and strength of the tool is based on the material used, same goes for the regular tools in Minecraft. No extra power, just a multiple tool in 1. Updated versions here : http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/644088-181-multitool-v03-need-risugamis-modloader Older version (for Minecraft 1.7.3) : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10167114/mod_MultiTool_0.2.zip INSTALLATION : You need to install ModLoader first. http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/75440-v172-risugamis-mods-updates Then put the zip file of this mod into the "mods" subfolder (create one if it doesn't exist yet) of your Minecraft folder (Windows : "%appdata%/.minecraft" ). FAQ - I don't like the look of this tool! Well, good for you because it's the mod I've made and I've decided that this multitool item will looks just like that. - There is already multitool mods. I know, I've seen one that looks like a swiss-knife. So...? I'm not forcing you to use my mod, I'm proposing you one. It's up to you to try it or not. - Why using mossy cobblestone? Because mossy cobblestone is not used in any recipes and I wanted to create an idea that needed one to be crafted. Because mossy cobblestone is relatively rare, making a multi-tool would be difficult enough to be generaly accepted by Minecraft players to be used in their games. - Why using diamonds? For the same reason in the tools already in the game can be crafted with diamonds. You can use also 2 wooden planks, 2 cobblestones, 2 iron ingots, or 2 gold ingots. The multitool will be less durable if you use gold instead of iron or diamond, but somehow the tool will be faster to use (and it's not because I've wanted to be that way, it was something already coded in Minecraft regarding the building materials for tools). - Why using 2 diamonds? Because the average of diamonds needed is barely above 2 diamonds for the tools this multi-tool can replace : shovel needs 1, sword needs 2, hoe needs 2, axe needs 3, pickaxe needs 3. 11 diamonds / 5 = 2.2 diamonds per tool. - Why it can break obsidian so fast? Because I've set this tool to be able to break obsidian as well. In Minecraft source code, regular pickaxe doesn't consider obsidian as a block they can break so only the building material toughness is considered, not the efficiency of the tool. The multitool here keeps the efficiency of a pickaxe while digging obsidian, making the process much faster. - Your mod crashes Minecraft. Really? Well, it's not supposed to... except if you didn't install ModLoader properly or if there is a conflict with another mod you already installed. If it's a mod conflict, let me know all your mods you are using to help me fix the issue in the future. If you have more questions or objections, use the comments section below. Hope you liked this video and will eventually give it a try. Know issues : This multitool isn't effective againsts new blocks from other mods like trees made with treecapitator and fossiles from peaceful mod. However, this multi-tool can adapt to a new block if you try first to use the tool on the block instead of break it; the tool will confirmed by playing a slime sound effect.

Minecraft NewColecos Mod Test newcoleco 2011-08-06 | Description : Powered by CV (ColecoVision), NewColeco's robots glows in the dark and lives peacefuly unless someone attacks them. More health than usual Minecraft creatures, these robots can be exploited during day time to get redstone dust, redstone repeaters and somtimes a cookie or two. To get the maximum redstone dust as possible from these robots, avoid using strong weapons against them. The best place to find them is the desert. Normally, this mod is looking for sound effects (sound files) to play, but it works without them. During night time, you might see one of these robots fighting back another monster like a skeleton... and they usually win, so if you are in trouble they may help you a little bit if you don't attack them. WARNING! : This mod works only with Minecraft 1.7.3 with ModLoader.

Minecraft - Yogbox - Israphel Attack newcoleco 2011-07-29 | During the day, walking on sand was hurting a lot. That's the seasons MOD effect, simulating too hot sand during summer time. After trying to smooth a little bit the terrain curves nearby the village houses, I've stopped playing for awhile. When I've decided to continue my game, this is exactly what I've experienced (recorded here as a test for the video capture software I was trying). Coming from nowhere, Israphel attacked me with his golden sword and arrows. Of course, I've failed, not ready for this attack. The Yogbox MOD pack is cool but very laggy, and it's apparently because of Millénaire (villages simulator). I don't suggest at all to install the full MOD pack... try one at a time and keep only your favorites. It's beta version so game freezing and random lags are expected.
ADAMCon 23 - Day 0 - Flights experience newcoleco 2011-07-15 | ColecoVision and Coleco ADAM convention, 2011 editionDay - 0After security, I went through all the flights with some issues, for the most part : a broken plane and a delayed plane. Hopefully, I had some quaters I've keeped from my last time in the US so I were able to call the Hotel for a shuttle.What you can't see in this video is all the nice people sitting near the entrance waiting for me to say "you finaly made it? how was your flight?" Well, this video is my final response to this question.I've forgot to mention that the second flight landing was kinda scary. The pilot had to break so hard to not miss the turn right after the landing to reach the right gate. Otherwise, the flights were fine, but the inside of these planes was hot, even more when planes are on the ground. Next time, I will not wear more than a t-shirt and short.
Farewell my ColecoVision Jeepers Creepers cartridge #25 newcoleco 2011-07-14 | In this video I'm telling quickly the story of the ColecoVision game Jeepers Creepers and showing a "boxing" video and signature time of my own cartridge for someone who was kind enough to make me a reasonable offer to get this game cartridge.June 13 2011, I've tried to sell some of my ColecoVision gems on Youtube. Brain Schumacher is the only one who made a serious offer in time, and he wanted a Jeepers Creepers cartridge. I was keeping at least one cartridge for myself until now, the number 25 because I've released this game in cartridges right before halloween, in the year 2007... it was kinda the 25th anniversary or the ColecoVision game system, that's why I was keeping the number 25.

A ColecoVision Smurf Minecraft Night by NewColeco 2011 newcoleco 2011-05-04 | After building a wooden house, a musical railroad, visiting other places and helping a little bit around with road tracks and other stuff, I've worked on a quick pixel art... and of course I had to think of something ColecoVision related. So, I've made a Smurf pointing first to my house, then I was thinking to make something complex with redstones and so the blinking "Coleco" and "Vision" sign was done in the most compact way... kinda the same challenge as fitting an incredible videogame into a tiny 32KB cartridge... plus the lag. I'm happy with the result and I hope you enjoy the video. Sorry to not show you exactly how the circuit works for the blinking, it's essentially a 5-clock and a couple of repeaters, no logic gates or memory simulation.
ColecoVision 8-bit musics - Catchy and Incomplete newcoleco 2011-04-27 | Hello, in this video you are invited to listen 2 new ColecoVision musics and to answer 2 questions. The best way to experience this video si to free your mind and just gives your first impression of these musics and then answer the questions. For example, the first music may reminds you of a festival, or even a circus... it depends on each one experience in videogame and life in general. Do your best to give an answer to both questions, it's not a quiz so don't think too hard and make your head explode. Egg-Note : it's better if you close your eyes first and open them only after the second music ends... otherwise you may feel observed.

NewColecos playing Minecraft? showing a big wooden house and a musical railroad? newcoleco 2011-04-22 | Well, StricklySega saw my message saying that I was playing Minecraft and having some problems to use something called redstone. He invited me to join their server and the first thing I've made is a big house made of wood and white wool (simulating a roof with snow on it). Then the news about getting back the weather in version 1.5 shocked me because now my house may be set on fire by a lightning. So, I took time to finish my house anyway, with paintings inside, a bed, and I've covered the roof with glass giving it a more icy effect. The day after, a greifer took all the wood and wool on my house, leaving just the glass, chests and a few wooden planks. I was so sad, I didn't wanted to rebuild my house. Then, with the backup, I've got back my house almost finished. After this episode, I've worked then on the railroad that leads to my house, making it a 2 tracks railroad with a funny parking twist taking advantage of the new powered rails and rails with detectors. Because of the smooth velocity on this railroad, I've decided to make it play a music... a music you may recognize.Note : In the chat, Dan said that someone took a minecart from him. I have no clue who took his minecart, I've made some for my railroad and put them in chests at both ends of the tracks, like shown in the video.At anytime, I might be the target of a greifer again. I've even change my password twice already just in case.The main reason why people are playing Minecraft is because of the social part, otherwise many people will just get bored quickly and play something else.This video was recorded with a software named ScreenCamera which directly render the video into WMV format. The compression to WMV format slows uses too much the CPU and creates a low framerate rendering for the video capture. Hopefully, it's not really an issue this time, I just wanted to show you quickly what I've done in Minecraft at the "gaming comunity" server... I don't know the name of the server.
RE: LOL! Tag Response BLOOPER newcoleco 2011-04-15 | Just my 2 cents in reply to the tag by using the reponse by MaximumRD. The virtual is not equivalent to the real thing, it may be close enough to be compatible at very high dregrees, but not the same thing; and that's, why for programmers like me, it's better to be able to test on the real thing as much as possible the different software projects. In the cartoon, this is represented as first it's a cartoon, not the real MaximumRD, and also the ColecoVision used as a phone in answer to phones used to play ColecoVision games. It's my style of cartoon, with missing arms because the Flash version I'm using don't include the hability to use a skeleton and I was tired after 10 hours. So it's useless to comment about the missing arms. Instead, did you notice the message in the cartoon? or even notice the Atari logo used for the belt buckle?Think about it, it took me a little more than 10 hours to do that. To me, it's my first try and I think it worthed the effort.SOFTWARE USEDAUDACITY (FREE) : Capture and edit audio sequences.

Instead I've used a few motion twean effects and do my best to fit the audio playing with the mouth shapes sequence I had to hardcode almost frame by frame based on the file made with Papagayo. Because of the lack of "bone" feature, things like arms moving around is not easy and need a lot of time. In fact, up to 90% of the time to do this cartoon was to deal with Flash and make tweak a few things here and there, addind details, and so on. Duration : more than 9 hours with frustration sometimes.Hope you enjoyed the video!Special thanks to MaximumRD and MarkVergeer!If you didn't suscribed yet to MaximumRD and MarkVergeer channels, I highly suggest to do so... they have great humor and a lot more various content than my dedicated Coleco channel here.Please note that the "wall of fame" is composed of featured channels on MaximumRD's channel page.
Your chance to suggest ColecoVision games to do newcoleco 2011-04-10 | Yes, it's your chance to give your suggestions about ColecoVision games you may want to get if it exists. Rule#1 : you can do more than 1 suggestions, but each one should be in a different comment. Rule#2 : act like you have amnesia by not saying the name of the game, the name of the characters in the game or even the name of the company who made the game. also don't say something too obvious that identify precisely the game you are suggesting, like "climbing up ladders and jumping over barrels" Rule#3 : thumbs up suggestions you like, Remember that these suggested games should be possible for the ColecoVision game system. So nothing that implies voice, video, too much text, graphics or cpu processing. But who knows what can be possible to do for this game system. Why I'm doing this? why this amnesia rule? Well, I don't like getting suggestions like "do a port of this game" or simply "do this game" when I'm more comfortable with trying to make my own games. However, it's obvious that I'm not the only CV programmer around here and getting these suggestions from you should be interesting. By getting only the descriptions of these games open the door to various interpretations and creativity. Make your suggestions now and maybe win a prize (if I can think of any). My suggestion... suggest also games that are not in the arcade, like RPGs and other types of games.
ColecoVision 8bit Music - Bombn Blast (extended version) newcoleco 2011-04-08 | This music was composed for a ColecoVision adaptation of a puzzle game of the same name that looks just like Tetris, but the idea is more explosive. The programmer contacted me with the idea to use a music like Tetris A, which is an adaptation of a russian polka. After listenning to the original (traditional) music, I've decided to make my own version, something more energic and explosive, and this is the result. In my humble opinion, this is the best electronic chiptune of this music, something you might not be ready to hear, specially for a ColecoVision videogame.You can check the progression of this brand new ColecoVision game and so as some other cool projects at the programmer's Youtube channel here : http://www.youtube.com/bfggamepassionMy ColecoVision web site (qhere you can find the MP3 file)URL : http://www.ccjvq.com/newcoleco
Words of wisedom - Jean Bartik newcoleco 2011-04-08 | "I think you should do what you love. It's not that much work when you do what you like to do" - Jean Bartik, 2011(?)This video is dedicated to all my friends on Youtube and elsewhere, to tell them to do what they like to do, the life is too short. My passion is ColecoVision, it's what I like to play with, to program it, to have fun with it.Jean Bartik, like mentionned in the video, is one of the women who worked on the ENIAC in the 1940s. Their work (of these women) was recognized only in the 1980s when someone wrote a paper about the history of computers. Considering that back then the job "working on computers" was more hardware manipulations than doing a few mouse clicks and typing on a keyboard, these pioneers do have things to tell us, to teach us, including inspirational words of wisedom.I was looking around to improve my flash animation skills (I'm multi-talented) and I've decided to try the software papagayo to help me for the lipsyncs and this is the result. the animation is 24 frames per second and the best synchronization is reached when I'm playing the sound 2 frames later than it should be in the Flash timeline.
NewColeco plays Champions Online? newcoleco 2011-03-16 | To answer a viewer's question : Yes, I'm also playing modern videogames, but my main videogame experience is retrogaming. Here, I'm showing footage of Champions Online recorded with UScreenCapture (free) and VirtualDub (free) on a computer not as powerful as you may think. I've decide to capture only the center part of the screen in order to not make too big video files and make the encoding process faster. Before year 2000, my friends and I had fun playing videogames in the same location, doing LAN parties with our PCs and multipler games for Nintendo 64 and XBOX like the famous Golden Eye in split screen mode. After year 2000, it became more difficult to find time to continue playing these games and we mostly move on to playing online games. While some of us prefer playing games like Minecraft and Magikca, and others are mostly waiting for the next Diablo and Duke Nukem, I've decided with a friend to try Champions Online available as "free to play" since (I think) february 2011 (this year). After the extreme long download time, and busting my Internet bandwidth limitation again, I've started playing this game... not what I imagined but fun to play with friends because this game is really challenging. My main complain of this game is the dull part of collecting more and more objects to make components to make other objects which is not part of what I consider a superhero job. My main complains of the free to play mode is that any change to the costume cost money and the inventory space is too small. If you also play this game, and want to play with me to defeat Ripper or any other big boss of this game, let me know.
ColecoVision 8bit Music - The Passionate - featuring CCJVQ meeting November 2010 newcoleco 2011-02-15 | I was alone during Valentine's day, and I was thinking of a music to write right away. It took me too long to finish it for a special Valentine video, but I've decided to use this music anyway with pictures of a videogame collectors meeting I was part of the night of the full moon of November 2010. As for the music itself, I've composed it the same way as my other ones. Maybe you can point out to me a pop music or something that sounds just like this one. Personally, I have a vague impression of "deja vu" but I've no clue. The only thing I'm sure is that I've composed it note by note, during more than a day, and the MP3 file will be available soon on my web site. http://ccjvq.com/newcoleco Full Moon + CCJVQ (collectors club) + ColecoVision = GhostBlaster time! I remember that kids was playing with interest a bunch of games including pong clones and GhostBlaster. Anyway, I'm packing my stuff already for the next CCJVQ meeting this saturday February 19, 2011. Enjoy this video and see you next time.
Who are you, my Youtube viewers? newcoleco 2011-02-11 | This video is based on Youtube Insight information for the first week of February 2011. Music programmed by me (Daniel Bienvenu) for the ColecoVision game system, based on COPS.
ColecoVision 8bit Music - Crazy Train newcoleco 2011-02-06 | This music was coded note by note by myself (Daniel Bienvenu) based on what I was hearing from Ozzy Ozbourne music titled Crazy Train, and based on my capabilities to adapt it to the ColecoVision sound chip and sound routines. MP3 available at my web site : http://www.ccjvq.com/newcoleco RETROIST ARTICLE : http://www.retroist.com/2011/02/09/8bit-colecovision-music-crazy-train Also, this music was made in order to help Russ Kumro with his project to recreate the Side Trak game based on the picture in the ColecoVision silver catalog many of Coleco fans do have already.

Random Subjects : Year 2011, Creeper World, Champions Online newcoleco 2011-02-02 | In this video I present random subjects not related to Coleco. This shows you all that I'm not always thinking about ColecoVision. 1. - Fun with the number 2011 - I don't believe in astrology and numerology, but it's fun to play around with numbers. The year 2011 seems to be my lucky year, based on my non-scientific manipulations of 2011 and the date of the new Chinese year (February 3rd, 2011). It's the Chinese year of the rabbit, my Chinese zodiac sign (apparently), number 7 is related to luck, and having a rabbit foot is for luck (poor little rabbit captured for their feet). 2. - Creeper World Training Intro. I'm showing how to get a very good score at this online flash game, at least with the intro level, without cheating. 3. - Champions Online (free 2 play). My friends asked me to join them but we waited for the free to play version. Here, I present to you my champion : The Angry Computer Guy. He looks a lot like me, except that I wear clothes and don't stand and move like Hulk in real life... and he uses teleportation for long distance and mind powers to defeat enemies. If you play also Champions Online, let me know : my nickname is ColecoMan. Enjoy this random video from my part.
ColecoVision Spinning Ambigram with Color and Rotation effects newcoleco 2011-01-27 | It took me 3 days to draw this "COLECO VISION" ambigram and to make it spin as a valid ColecoVision rom file. In this version I've played around based on a few questions/suggestions in AtariAge forum. Some technical details. It uses Graphic Mode 1, 2 charsets (almost full) and 6 screens (frames), 3 screens per charset, and a data sequence to create this animation. The idea is to set during the NMI the proper screen with its proper charset for each frame and that's it. The rom file is pretty much uncompressed but still small (less than 6KB). Download file... soon available with source code. Recorded with BlueMSX 2.8

Lets Watch ColecoVision SuperAction Boxing Rocky - Demo mode newcoleco 2011-01-24 | During my childhood, I was pretty bad at this boxing game Rocky for the ColecoVision, but I've enjoyed watching a few fights in the demonstration mode. It tooks me 2 hours to get this footage right, not because it was difficult to record, but I wanted a good match that ends with a K.O. Super Action Boxing Rocky is playable only with Coleco SuperAction controllers. Unfortunately for PC users, many emulators like BlueMSX doesn't support these special controllers. So you can't really play this game, but you can surely watch a good fight! Recorded with BlueMSX
Lets Play ColecoVision Pyramid Warp & Battleship Clapton II March 2009 newcoleco 2011-01-20 | I've muted the music and Youtube keep considering that there is a music copyrights issue... I'm contesting it. This ColecoVision video game published by CollectorVision in 2009 was adapted/ported by dvik and joyrex in 2008 from games by T&E Soft. This game footage was recorded with a real ColecoVision console, not emulation. I'm selling my copy of this game in order to possible buy a new one. It's your chance to get your hands on this game no more available.
Lets Play ColecoVision Amazing Bumpman 1986 newcoleco 2011-01-19 | Amazing Bumpman is an amazingly bad educational video game. You have to move around to not only bump the (white) numbers into the right places (green numbers or ?), but also to make the entire game screen move in order to reach the numbers you need. The controls are bad and your laser beam is only good to destroy cells borders, not enemies. To reach the number you need, you have to make the game screen move by destroying cells borders around the screen. The spinning enemy eats your numbers; the insect-like creatures want to eat you but die if they touch a (white) number. In this video, I'm playing at the highest difficulty level. If you think it's easy to do addition and substraction math problems, it's because you've never solved them by playing this game. Thanks to Telegames who released this game in 1986, which otherwise will have been simply lost. It's one of the latest commercial ColecoVision games published.
Lets Play ColecoVision Beam Rider by Dave Rolfe Activision 1983 newcoleco 2011-01-19 | This is my best try at the highest difficulty level of Beam Rider, and I admit that was extremely lucky. I've reached sector 16 which show enemies I've never seen before. For example, in sector 16, the yellow X acts like a magnet that want your ship crashing into it, you have to immediatly move in the opposite direction to avoid it.. To start the game, simply move the joystick up, the rest is just avoid obstacles and kill the 15 white enemies as fast as you can in order to not stay too long in this insane and deadly zone. Save the rockets for the boss, but you can use them before if you are in trouble. This game is all about reflex and random chance because of all the random obstacles popping in the game, each one incredibly fast and indestructible. I highly suggest to play this game at a low difficulty level... unless your goal is to yell at your tv screen. Even if it's conter intuitive, holding fire button to shot constantly is NOT a good strategy. You have to predict where the enemies are going and shoot when it's appropriate, not all the time, because you can one shoot one laser beam or rocket at a time.

Lets Play ColecoVision Root Beer Tapper 1984 newcoleco 2011-01-19 | This is my best try at the highest difficulty level of Tapper for the ColecoVision game system. Reached the 10th screen. In this version, there is a last stage not shown in this video where you give root beers to a bunch of extra-terrestrial creatures. Except for the "guessing game" and a few other random things during the game, it's possible to see a pattern after playing this game a lot and be very good at the first levels (or screens). I highly suggest to play this game at a low difficulty level... unless your goal is to beat my score here. A good strategy is to get rid of the short lines of customers first, notice all the time how many costumers there are per line and get back empty glasses before they break on the floor.

ADAMCON 22 - Sunday banquet newcoleco 2011-01-18 | This is the banquet time. Showing the lotery time : Luc winning an adam-clock, Erin winning t-shirts, and so on.
ColecoMe and ColecoCam - Make your own Coleco ROM files newcoleco 2011-01-17 | ColecoMe is a collection of online softwares that involves you, not as a programmer, but as an artist or simply as a ColecoVision fan that want to make something personal, to make your own rom files. ColecoCam is a way to use your webcam to make your first Coleco rom file by showing your picture on screen. That's it! Nothing difficult to use, just make sure your Flash is up-to-date and your webcam not used by another software. Link : http://colecome.x10.mx/ Special thanks to MaximumRD, JacesFaces, and MarkVergeer who tested the buggy version(s). MarkVergeer even take time to show me results in video format, and it's great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrFysLWfQLQ Fun Fact : It's only now that I've started to code something for this collection of softwares I've dreamed to do more than 10 years ago. I had the idea of ColecoMe in 1996-97 while I was working on my first Coleco programming tools including the discontinued CVPHOTO and I.C.V.G.M. written in QuickBASIC.
NewColecos Youtube Channel Retrospective 2010 newcoleco 2011-01-05 | PLEASE READ : I like using computer voice, so deal with it.
