 Welcome back, although I'm still new to the Coleco vision, this console really kicks the llama's ass. So I've spent a little bit more time with the console, I've had my CollectorVision Phoenix for about three months now and thanks to the power of the internet I think I've pretty much played every game and it's no exaggeration either when I say my three and six year old daughters love it as well. I'm with the show and hopefully you'll like it, the Coleco love affair continues. So before we start this video, let's rewind. Eric Bromley, a talented designer, was the brainchild behind the Coleco vision. Originally though Coleco was a leather company that eventually got into plastic toys based out of Connecticut. By the end of it they were into toys, swimming pools, video games, consumer electronics, the Coleco Telstar series, the Coleco Adam computer, the Coleco Gemini and believe it or not they own the license for the Cabbage Patch Kids. From a video games perspective it's as if they came out of nowhere almost by accident but the company entered the video game sector in 1976 with the Telstar and allegedly Coleco only broke even but surprisingly they continued to do well in the electronics sector. But for all intents and purposes it's the Coleco version released in 1982 that we're interested in here. And on that Damian McFerrin on the 18th of September 2010 did an article for Nintendo Life where he interviewed Bromley and it went on to say, I picked up a copy of the Wall Street Journal and saw an article about how the cost of RAM had declined. Bromley went on to explain, I retrieved the latest copy analysis and substituted the new pricing. It came very close to the target price point. I ran to inform Arnold Greenberg and burst into his office without even asking his secretary. Before he could react I showed him the new figures, 10 minutes later we were working on a new project with a working name Coleco Vision. It's a really good article from Nintendo Life and yeah check it out, I mean listen it's been discussed many times but I think the key to the early success for the Coleco Vision is largely squarely down to the packing cartridge which was the adaptation of the arcade game Donkey Kong. I'm learning more about the Coleco Vision as I go along with it and I'm not sure if this is true or not because it's only what I've read but apparently it wasn't plain sailing to get the Donkey Kong license. Atari were also hot on the heels in regards to trying to win exclusivity for what then would have been considered the hottest arcade game since Pac-Man. Apparently it came down to a last minute Winston Churchill slash Braveheart speech, quite a moving plea by all accounts but it's apparently here where Bromley convinced Nintendo President Yamauchi to grant Coleco Vision initial rights before later releasing to Atari. An absolute game changer for Coleco Vision this would have been and helped to fly thousands of consoles out of the shop doors but then disaster struck, not just for Coleco Vision but for Nintendo as well. In 1982 lawsuits are filed against both Nintendo and Coleco by Universal Studios who claim Donkey Kong and its various ports infringe on their King Kong movie copyright Coleco panicked and cut a deal with Universal giving them 3% of Donkey Kong sales where Nintendo gave them the two finger salute, I mean you couldn't make this stuff up. Years earlier in 1975 Universal had already argued that King Kong's copyright had already lapsed into the public domain so the story goes it went all the way to the Supreme Court and Nintendo eventually won and then after the win Coleco eventually filed a suit and received a portion of their lost royalties. It's a fantastic story and I'd like to one day read a book about it. So after a year of development time finally in 1982 the Coleco Vision is released and unlike the Sony Playstation launch years later there wasn't a single game available to buy apart from the packing game Donkey Kong that came with the system but by September a bunch of games followed, Cosmic Avenger, Smurfs and Venture were released, followed a month later by Carnival, Ladybug and Zaxxon but despite a lackluster launch the console is an instant success and by Christmas 1982 it already sold over half a million machines and if that wasn't good enough in the first quarter of 1983 Coleco reported that over one million consoles had been sold with over eight million cartridge sales and from what I've personally seen from the Coleco Vision so far this was a giant step towards capturing the graphics and game mechanics of the original coinup finally for the home and Coleco Vision even tried to future prove the console somewhat with the expansion module interface but as they say the rest is history. So with all that guerrilla warfare out the way Coleco Vision were now the king of Kong but as we all know it's all about the games so on to the games I thought I'd kick things off with Alcazar this looks very similar to the Legend of Zelda I've heard some people actually say that they prefer this over Zelda and if I'm honest the game does have a similar feel also if you want to see the entirety of this game you have to up the difficulty level so basically if you are going to play this game just start on level three there's all sorts of objects monsters you name it in this game including giant flies thankfully your gun can fire off eight shots and kill any monster a solid eight out of ten there's no doubt the Coleco Vision has an impressive lineup of arcade games my girls especially like this one it starts off easy enough and well you're basically racing a penguin on a slab of ice it's cute and kids will love it it's another Coleco Vision game that stood the test of time and there's definitely a challenge there and you can get quite difficult later on I mean this is really fantastic stuff and it plays as good as it looks for me personally and because my kids like it solid nine out of ten I'm sure I've said it before but this for me is definitely my kind of game against all odds you can fire in nine different directions the challenge is fantastic and the hand glider section massively switches things up a notch you get one life sparks will fly this is one of the Coleco Visions finest if I'm honest the only thing missing is a continue option but for me the challenge sometimes even the seemingly impossible is the reason I personally love retro gaming this one looks like a very basic two-player game and if I'm honest the Commodore 64 version graphically is probably the stronger game there's three difficulty levels to choose from but this is a mega classic if you've ever played scorched earth on the PC you can see how much scorched earth borrowed from this game this would have been a perfect four-player game as well it could have been amazing you could have had weapon upgrades a one-player option as things stand a seven out of ten here we have a game on the Coleco vision that is genuinely funny which is a rarity in any era and I think it's one of those games that people are still playing and will play for years to come my kids have had a go at it and they absolutely love it with great games like this no wonder the Coleco vision sold over two million units it's a terrific easy to dip into sort of game I guess for Coleco vision fans this is now considered part of furniture and will probably never be forgotten for me it's a solid eight out of ten this is a shoot-em-up based on the slimmest of material it's practically identical to the Atari 2600 version but for some unknown reason I can't get enough of this it's it's absolutely brilliant it's one of the best games on the Coleco vision if you can imagine space invaders crossed with Juno crossed with Tempest then you're almost there and once again unless I'm mistaken Activision massively struck gold with this one for me no doubt nine out of ten in blockade runner you're on a cruise ship to the stars you're a bazillion miles away from home in this case earth and you've got to find your way back the faster you go the quicker you get there if you can imagine asteroids in 3d but with a bigger ambition of scale the game looks sufficiently colorful everything zips along at pace but what on earth is going on with that shirtless guy on the cover this is top gun in space for the Coleco vision and I'm going to give it a solid eight out of ten I've played this on the Amsterdam CPC originally and it's a fantastic game and I think there's about five or six in the series I've also played it on the Commodore 64 and I think that's the ever so slightly better version but this is no slouch and it's absolutely fantastic to play just playing this is a great little trip down memory lane for me it's just awesome I get totally lost in it nothing else in the world exists when I'm playing boulder dash this one gets an eight out of ten who doesn't remember book Rogers in the 25th century it ran for 33 episodes in the early 80s I remember it was either this or Doctor Who on the other channel I personally love this game it offers deep space action with a similar formula to space Harrier and for me that's difficult to resist unfortunately the robot doesn't feature in this one and there's no bitty bitty bitty and thank goodness Gary Coleman doesn't make an appearance it's great watching your starfighter blast off into space and I don't care what anyone thinks this is a solid eight out of ten I was literally just talking to somebody today about retro gaming and he said he wanted to get an Xbox the original one so he could play all the old retro games on it and I mentioned about the Raspberry Pi and my collector vision Phoenix and how I can't wait to get home and play it naturally time permitting which is a rarity these days but it's because of games like this terrific stuff without question of one of my favorites easily an eight out of ten I saw this in the arcade years ago but I didn't appreciate it I didn't give it the time of day that it deserved so it's only now after discovering the Coleco vision and recently the collector vision Phoenix that I've come to appreciate this game and it's made me go back to the arcade original which I would probably never have bothered with if it wasn't for the Coleco vision and whilst it doesn't look as good anywhere near as good as the arcade original it plays just the same another solid eight out of ten a lot of these older programs from yesteryear I've made something of a resurgence on the platform YouTube so both of my daughters three and six knew all about the cabbage pack kids before I even show them this game and they really like it they didn't get far in it but they giggled the whole way through graphically especially the sprites I was really impressed it's not one I play personally but my two girls insisted it was a nine out of ten I started playing this and couldn't stop there's no way whatsoever I'd have picked this up back in a day just based on screenshots alone big mistake as this is really addictive everyone can play it the whole family can play it my two girls absolutely love it I personally can't stop playing it and on my pursuit to review anything Coleco vision probably a hundred games in there this is absolutely fantastic and the best of all the home conversions including the mighty in television a nine out of ten if you own a Coleco vision don't sell it whatever you do the gameplay in centipede on the Coleco vision is so fast and apparently although it doesn't say on the box anywhere I checked the roller controller works in this game as well so like with the arcade you get the trackball is it the best conversion I'm not sure the Atari 5200 probably has the edge but I love this a solid 8 out of 10 this is just one of those games where you can sit and play all day if you like without any pants on it's your job to man a chopper rescue the hostages and fly them back to safety all the while dodging and destroying dangerous enemy fire if you haven't played this on the Coleco vision everyone should own this it's a fantastic little game also I've been playing this with the kids and it's great fun I can't really fault it eight out of ten yeah it does look a little dated but it's still great fun whilst I'm mostly addicted to Zach's on the arcade conversion on on the Coleco vision I did spend a day or so playing this and when the kids came home from school a couple of days ago they said let's play Kongo bongo let's play Kongo bongo dad I think personally everyone should try Kongo bongo it's one of those forgotten gems for me a worthy seven out of ten yeah I think that's fair who doesn't love a great shooter especially a fairly addictive one if you're a fan of scramble or defender you'll absolutely love this it's not one of those games that appears to push the Coleco vision in any way shape or form and the sound effects whilst they do their job aren't really anything to write home about but when you consider that there's four levels of difficulty and a great challenge this really is an excellent little space shooter I had to think long and hard about scoring this one but in the end it's an eight out of ten I think we all know the plot to this one fly a bomber over enemy territory and blow up the dams if you love masses of detail in a game and this is a rarity on the Coleco vision then you can't beat the downbusters or simulation what's also apparent although everything happens at night how smooth the game is this one's a nine out of ten for me but flight sims only if you like jerking your joystick and some heated two player races then this one is still quite fun these games are a little bit like Marmite you either love them or hate them as a teenage boy I'd often play games of this sort daily Thompson's Decaflin comes to mind and would quite often give the old joystick a good waggle and it's good exercise as well can't think of anything negative to say because it's well presented and the colors are great a good strong seven out of ten there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said before but the colorful graphics fantastic explosive sound effects there's intense shooting action it's probably one of the most difficult shooters ever to grace a console if I'd have owned this back in the day this would have been a thing of worship not many people will have enjoyed this because of the difficulty but they definitely would have respected it and kudos to the clicker vision without question a masterpiece and nine out of ten this is still a great version despite missing the cement factory stage but this iconic 80s game easily demonstrates its graphical prowess over the Atari 2600 despite being an early pack-in title this is an essential game that you must own and play the clicker vision unfortunately my kids find it way too difficult they can only get about halfway up but it's definitely one I think they'll come back to once their hand-eye coordination improves with age for me without question a solid nine out of ten in a weird turn of events Mario has kidnapped Donkey Kong so it's up to his son Donkey Kong Junior to save the day naturally nothing beats the arcade original or the 78 Atari 7800 version but this is bloody close it's just as challenging as the 7800 version but overall this is a solid conversion of the arcade original it's missing a level but a solid eight out of ten if you want a fun simple racing car game you can't look any further than the dukes of hazard also of the one of five games that support the Coleco vision steering wheel this is the must-have what surprised me about this game is the speed and the detail in the graphics especially as you zoom through the town did this push the limits of the Coleco vision I don't know because I don't know the console that well but personally me I love it and it's an eight out of ten if you wanted any more proof that the Coleco vision was ahead of its day look no further than fortune builder this is basically SimCity it's a much better two-player game than it is a single-player experience but I'll never be able to look at a SimCity game again without thinking about this before playing the graphical UI for the time is incredible and there's a lot of complex problem-solving an incredible game nine out of ten now this is something super cool I've just come across our main protagonist looks like half sausage half firefighter or fire extinguisher it might be a simple game but there's quite a bit of variety there's two stages to every level and four levels of difficulty I quite like the sound and especially the graphics and the other level will see you clambering up drain pipe swinging from window to window and it's just all-round good entertaining fun an eight out of ten anybody old enough to remember Berserk well this is frenzy the sequel both of these games went on to influence Robotron 2084 Smash TV and you could say Geometry Wars you've basically got to traverse what feels like an endless amount of rooms where the aim is simply to survive it's not often a sequel plays better than the original but the second game is definitely more fulfilling considering this is 1983 I've got to give this one a nine out of ten the attention to detail in this arcade conversion for the Coleco vision is absolutely amazing as with the arcade you get through the first couple of stages and then the difficulty starts to ramp up a little bit Frogger has lost none of these charm on his conversion down from the arcade to the Coleco vision I think the motorway section is slightly bigger there's more cars on the arcade original but my girls absolutely love this they think it's fantastic so I'm gonna give this one eight out of ten matter for it this doesn't look great I'm not gonna lie to you but it plays an absolute blinder if you can get used to the controls the Auckland controls it really does kick ass this is a very well done port considering the Coleco vision limitations of Tatos 1982 arcade here and the action really takes off once you reach the tanks so that's kind of why you need to stick with it the trick is to keep moving keep firing which all adds up to non-stop pulse pounding action an eight out of ten Galaxians is so famous it featured as a game that you could play whilst Ridge Racer was loading on the PlayStation gone with the regimented formations of space invaders now it was all out chaos you'll need nerves of steel to make it through wave after wave of enemy unpredictable attack this Coleco vision port to me seems feels absolutely arcade perfect I can't say for sure if it's my favorite shoot em up on the Coleco vision but it's up there this one gets a nine out of ten despite the simple graphics I really like this game I like it a lot there's lots to collect including treasure you can upgrade your weapons which includes a longsword there's a good combination of early RPG and action and there's some that say that this is the Godfather to the Diabolo series and the simplicity including the graphics and sound just work there's no doubt in my mind this is a classic and an eight out of ten well simply put this is a great arcade conversion especially to think that this came out in 1983 it does feel ahead of its time and the oval shield protection is quite innovative the time and if like me you'll just play this one over and over in the words of Kevin Keegan I love it unfortunately the Galaxian level that you get in the arcade is missing but it's a great little multi-part shooter and I give this one an eight out of ten I could be wrong but I think outside of the arcade this is the best conversion I've seen it feels extremely close to the arcade original I can't personally think of anything bad to say about this game it sucks you in it's such a good shooter that ours will pass by and you'll wonder where the time has gone this really has done the arcade original justice it's a really highly entertaining game and I love the music as well and if you're looking for a game where you can play it to death this is the one you found it a wonderful game a great arcade feeling a solid eight out of ten Rockstar eight my hamster from Codemasters is ten times better but I still enjoyed this in a weird sort of way I loaded it up and was still playing it two hours later I'm not sure if I can recommend it but I quite liked it I think it's good maybe this game has a bit of a court following I'm not sure or maybe there's people out there just think it's rubbish I've no idea what to rate this so seven out of ten I'm not sure how many people would agree with me on this one but this is probably one of the best games I've played on the clicker vision I actually prefer it to Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior don't stone me to death plus it also reminds me of Chucky Egg that I used to play on the Amstrad CPC very similar type of play the only downside if there is to be one are the graphics are very very simple compared to those games I've mentioned for me and nine out of ten and well done ethics I've heard somebody describe this as complete garbage that looks like garbage as well but really I think it's quite good there's quite a bit of strategy in this game as you duck and dive and jump I'm not aware of any other versions that this came out on but so I've got no basis for comparison I quite enjoyed this everything zips along nicely and eventually you catch the criminal it's good fun and I'll probably give this one seven out of ten if you know your maze games you'll know Ladybug should be top of your list it's a Pac-Man derivative where the walls can be rotated giving the player the illusion of more freedom of movement a bit like the EU this is a very clever twist on Pac-Man and an essential game well one of the many reasons to own a clicker vision it's a fantastic challenge the family and kids will love it and it's great to play in the dark as well a solid nine out of ten from me the second I started up this game I knew straight away I've played it before so I originally played this in the arcade but I had a game on the Amstrad CPC called the Island of Doctor Destructor although it didn't scroll the plane moved in exactly the same way this is an excellent translation arcade conversion for the clicker vision it's an airplane game where you can shoot fly up do the loop for me it's a fantastic little shooter and I'm going to give this one an eight out of ten personally if I enjoy a game I don't care what anybody else thinks I certainly don't care what the game critics think all I know is I loaded this up and I wasn't able to put it down and that for me well as they say the proof of the pudding is in the eating and I couldn't get enough graphics aren't the best the sprite movement isn't the smoothest but it's got the gameplay and sometimes I just like to come on kick off my boots and sink my teeth into something quick and dirty easily a seven out of ten at micro fun the fun goes on forever along with manic minor and you could argue pitfall minor 2049 opened up a floodgate for platforms to come this is also one of the ultimate kids games and I've got proof my three and six year old love playing this I also experienced bounty Bob strikes back US Gold did the conversion to the Amsterdam CPC and back in the day that was a lot of fun I'm going to give this one a nine out of ten I always felt lucky growing up in the late 70s early 80s just as the arcades were getting going it's definitely the reason I'm here and the period that inspired me most back then I was mesmerized by the power of the arcade machines the arcade hall I used to visit was an absolute shithole but it is my shithole you know this is an edutainment game at its best from originally from Konami an arcade original you can choose the types of math mathematic puzzles you want to solve and it's fantastic for the kids they will absolutely love it it's an eight out of ten for me who would have ever dreamed that maths could be fun if you like mousetrap in the arcade you'll love it on the vision the more mazes you complete the more points you get and what the points make prizes but not real prizes that be silly it's fast paced and near faultless flawless arcade conversion and for the first time ever in video game history when they marketed this game they weren't lying it really is just like the real arcade game nine out of ten I think the closest I came to playing Mr. Dew outside of the arcade was on the Amstrad CPC a game called fruity Frank it was a really good clone of Mr. Dew and I'm not gonna lie to you it filled the gap but it's nice to see that it made it to the Coleco vision and from what I can tell so far it's a license to thrill and a stay close well as close as it can to the arcade original it looks and feels like it's been carefully crafted and it's yet another reason to collect the Coleco vision I'm gonna give this one an eight out of ten I really enjoyed this one whilst it lasted it's a very smooth solid shooter you've got a good arsenal of weapons available to you you can drop bombs fire lasers there's the obvious similarities to Defender there's rapid fire aplenty and I really like the colorful big sprites trying to hit targets on the ground can get a bit frustrating but I personally love these types of games and for something that came out in 1983 this is absolutely fantastic I'm gonna give this one a solid seven out of ten slightly disappointing there's no actual end to this game you just keep going for the score for me this feels a little bit too similar to asteroids and it's also similar to a game I had on the Amstrad CPC years ago thrust although I imagine the latter copied this but I suppose if you like asteroids and you like the arcade original of this or this captures it to a tee and this just goes to prove my point that sometimes the games don't look like the arcade but they play exactly like them a good old-fashioned seven out of ten oh yes I love this game pepper two is absolutely fantastic can't get enough of it it borrows from lots of games that came before it but somehow it does its own thing and it still feels original if you love maze games you'll love pepper two I had a game back in the day on the Amstrad CPC called Omami and you quite clearly see where it got its ideas from I can't put my finger on it but this game is deeply satisfying and in my personal opinion arcade perfect and nine out of ten I think I've said before absolutely love this game loved it on the Commodore 64 and love this version as well I think when it comes to racing games I'll play any old tat but I keep coming back to this one mad for it the graphics and the road update aren't anything remarkable but the pit stop is fantastic because of that it mixes the arcade element with realism and it works with my shiny new calico vision racing wheel I'm gonna give this one a seven out of ten I'm Popeye the sailor man I live in a caravan there's a hole in the middle where I do a piddle I'm Popeye the sailor man see if I played this back in the day I would definitely some that this is it doesn't look like the arcade but it plays like it and that's the important vital ingredient I had a Popeye game in fact three Popeye games one two and three on the Amstrad CPC and I can't remember if they were any good or not but I remember playing them for hours if you like the arcade version you'll love this eight out ten it's got a giant cobra in it it's got spaceships and it's based on DC characters I've never heard of I'm not even sure if this is a finished game if I'm honest I've heard some people say it's a prototype so on that basis I won't give it a review but I really enjoyed it bringing down the cobra is quite difficult and sadly I couldn't make it past level two essential game essential I once dreamed of owning this on the Amstrad CPC but it was not to be when I first played this on the Coleco vision a few months ago I fell in love with the raid all over again words can't simply describe my love for this game it's the best version outside of the arcade ramps up the difficulty and notch as well over the Atari 2600 version you Coleco vision owners were lucky sods back in the day 9 out of 10 it's quite a good game this I quite like it what's all the negativity about there's a really good challenge here I don't know people are finicky buggers these graphics for the time look fantastic high resolution as well I was in Nottingham about a year ago but I don't remember it looking like this although Brian Cluths face sometimes looked as red as a beetroot like that's son there I jest he was an amazing footballer and even better manager let me know your thoughts let me know if you like it or dislike it I personally think it's really good I'm going to give it a 7 out of 10 by the end of this game you're going to eat lightning and crap thunder but like any man you need the right tools for the job I'm talking about the super action controller remember go for the ribs don't let the bastard breathe you can play against the computer or against a friend graphically and for the time I'm just completely balled over the Coleco vision has managed to capture the excitement of pugilism let's not forget this is an 8-bit machine and this came out in 1983 for Christ's sake if only there was more to it my kids love Smurf it's a bit short and a bit easy for me but honestly this is the perfect game for kids imagine Pac-Land Wonderboy and Pitfall all rolled into one and you've got Smurf's it's a crying shame it doesn't scroll a game like this really needs that once you get good at it you can complete it on pretty much any difficulty under five minutes but like I say when my kids get home from school they say can we put Smurf on please daddy I've asked them to rate it and they said 8 out of 10 back in the day they would have had me with the word space I'm a bit of a sucker for anything sci-fi but especially so for games with spaceships in them the intro to this is unbelievable and I love how it says warrior one get ready well it doesn't say it just has text on the screen but yeah brilliant it's a great single-player game a great two-player game it comes packed with four levels of difficulty this is a tough game and one you'll need to put lots of practicing easily an 8 out of 10 I like it I like it a lot it's very difficult and I like my space shooters very difficult it reminds me of classic invaders that I have for the answer to see not many people I know could get past level four or five on that I got to level six but my cousin she was able to get to level eight or nine this is a fantastic little game it's just as difficult as space invaders on the later levels and each time you play it you get that little bit further easily an 8 out of 10 if you own the Coleco vision back in the day goodness me this is a fantastic arcade port only Coleco vision owners will have realized back in the day that the vastness of their games arcade port superior to other consoles computers I've gone on record many times and saying I wish I'd have owned a Coleco vision back in the day as a kid this one easily I would say a 9 out of 10 truly amazing arcade conversion this yeah I think I played this one in the arcade it's a very very interesting game and when I played it I think back in the arcade in the 80s I was addicted to it I thought it was really really good this Coleco vision version quite basic by today's standards and I imagine it would have been quite basic back then but I couldn't stop playing it so I put a couple of hours into this and then eventually I thought Jesus I've got to go to bed I think a 7 out of 10 yet another arcade conversion from Sega this one is easy to get into the sound can become a little bit annoying you control a submarine and the view that you can see on screen is your periscope up this game would have been even better if you could use those 3d glasses from the early 80s as things stand the 3d effects and trickery of the arcade are sadly missing and what you really get is a 2d experience this is a fantastic little clone of scramble from the arcade original the scrolling is almost silky smooth the graphics do their job and with a couple of hours of practice this one is actually beatable it has to be said there's a few question marks over the hit collision detection the enemy ground targets don't explode they just disappear and whilst it's a nice little shooter and a nice little arcade experience there's only one difficulty level so for me a 7 out of 10 super cross-force is definitely one of those games that plays better than it looks enemy ships firing two directions up and down which makes things especially tricky enemy fighters weren't bad enough you have to watch your fuel levels as well levels are short sharp and punchy but there's also an option that's been cleverly added where you can fire diagonally across the screen and that seriously ups the challenge I've personally not experienced anything like it there's a two-player option as well I like it it tried something new I give this an 8 out of 10 I'm not entirely sure about this one I think it came out quite late in the Kalea divisions life you've basically got to protect the radar base down there on the right and ultimately yourself the closer the enemy tank is to you when you take it out the higher the score you get I believe there's six scenes scenarios in total I've only made it to four so far as to what happens when you reach the final scene I don't know I quite like it quite like the music seven out of ten well this is time pilot I played this a whole bunch in the arcade I'm a big fan of the Kaleco vision version as well although what the hell is that big massive doofaloofer of a sidebar doing on the left hand side I'll forgive it though because this was way back in 1983 there's no question this is a good faithful conversion in fact it's brilliant if there is to be a drawback against this game and I'm probably nitpicking here it's that you can't see the parachute get guys on the later stages and some of the homing missiles but a solid 8 out of 10 the best tennis game I've ever played is it came out on the Atari 800 Excel I think it was a pack in tennis game that was absolutely brilliant and then the next best tennis game I played after that would be virtual tennis on the Dreamcast but this plays really well and I think I missed out I would have liked to have played this back in the day but I had this on the Amstrad CPC I think it was called match point and I didn't get on with it very well but this plays a lot better I'm going to give this one a 7 out of 10 I've said before in a previous Coleco vision video that I did so check that one out that this is an absolute fantastic arcade conversion it's a speed it's got the graphics it uses the steering wheel control the animation of the building zipping past is fantastic as well it just goes to show how powerful the Coleco vision as a console is to me it feels arcade perfect and as a petrol head a driving fan it's an essential game drumroll and without question easily a 10 out of 10 back in the day my Amstrad CPC had a game called Roland on the ropes the Coleco vision's answer to that was toot and car moon if ever again deserve the Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones title must definitely be a contender I love this game I can't get enough of it but sadly I can complete it quite easily and I'm left wanting more water for the programmers thinking they had in part of their hands a winning formula unfortunately I'm gonna have to give this one a 7 out of 10 again I've covered this one in a previous video for me it's as good as the Commodore 64 version and it's not far behind the arcade original if you love arcade thrills and excitement you can't look any further than up and down for those that have played it you'll know it's anything but simple even though it looks that way the graphics and scroll look authentic the music sounds brilliant and this has got one hell of a challenge it's reasons like this I've fallen in love with the Coleco vision and the best is yet to come oh god yeah and nine out of ten for this one come on winky you can do it yes you can winky you can do it course you can come on good old winky has found a tomb and he's got to collect all the treasure has anybody ever seen the arcade machine of this in all seriousness this is not an easy game it looks simple but there's a massive challenge here also berserk anyone there's four levels of difficulty and the music and sound are amazing there's only one mr. winky as anybody notices the reflection of this game the cover of this game where they're looking back and it's not the same image that's a bit freaky thankfully the game is scary but in a different sort of way this is loosely based on the fantastic movie from the 1980s you basically got to defend the United States from a nuclear attack and on a system peppered with arcade conversions it's nice to see something original without practice the tension becomes unbearable the graphics do their job but it's the playability where this wins through and nine out of ten another game where you've got to defend the United States from a nuclear attack talk about lightning striking twice but it's highly original it's not too dissimilar to war games but seeing a city light up in a plume of smoke looks great I quite like this it's really addictive to play this is a really difficult game but it's more of a survival game it's a bit like Tetris there's no way to win I think the longest I've survived is about 35 minutes and eventually as you see a missile command you lose all of your cities and it's game over easily eight out of ten I can't quite put my finger on it but this reminds me of something that I played on a different system the graphics and the locations look wonderful the sprites not so great it comes across highly original our dragon has basically got to collect lots of fire crystals there's a giant enemy to the east of the cave collect enough fire crystals and only then might you have a chance of defeating the Guardian if you defeat him you get the diamond crystal and then you have to take it back you can even collect eggs that give you extra lives a solid eight out of ten well I promised I'd save the best till last and they don't come any better than this wonderful arcade conversion this one is an essential game for your colleague of vision and I give this one a ten out of ten sadly we've reached the end I hope you've enjoyed this video if you did enjoy this video don't forget to like share ring that bell and please subscribe let me know if there's anything else you want me to cover on the Coleco vision maybe newer games and I'll just close by saying this is a fantastic wonderful system I missed out and until next time
