I just got my copy of Frenzy: The ColecoVision Games That Brought the Arcade Home by Jamie Lendino (senior writer of the defunct PC Magazine). I'm loving it! a.co/d/052vbvpd

Hach, da ist ja viel Platz... UND auch paar schöne Exoten :)
Sah nur selten (=nie oder vergessen) einen #Dragon64 oder ein #Colecovision auf einer solchen Veranstaltung.

New book! It’s been a long time in the works, so I am very excited to announce Frenzy: The ColecoVision Games That Brought the Arcade Home! A celebration of a short, thrilling time in video game history centered on this terrific console. Available in print amazon.com/dp/1957932139 and Kindle amazon.com/dp/B0GMXSD4YN #retrogaming #colecovision

The cover of Frenzy, which shows the left third of a ColecoVision console at a slight angle and some red digital-ish graphic designy stuff behind it

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.

If you have one of these, CVBasic now handles the spinners and Roller Controller for the Colecovision. You only need to read it using CONT1.SPINNER and CONT2.SPINNER. Compile the bleeding-edge code from git github.com/nanochess/cvbasic

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!

I'm developing Akalabeth for Colecovision. Just a little video of my work-in-progress. youtu.be/Shry64lalDU

@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) 😄

@angiebaby and share the same CPU (Z80), the same Video Processor (TMS9928) and have a close Sound Generator (SN76489 vs AY8910). MSX come with 8/16KB of RAM while Coleco have only 1KB.
So yes, they are very similar pieces of hardware, and it makes sense that an emulator for one would work for the other with minor changes.

Tutankham es uno de esos juegos en los que pestañeas y te das cuenta de que te están acorralando sin piedad. Lanzado en 1982 por Parker Brothers, este título de acción y exploración se convirtió en un habitual de #Atari2600 #Intellivision #ColecoVision y #Videopac

Qbert no fue solo un arcade: fue un enigma geométrico disfrazado de muñequito entrañable que juraba en símbolos.
