James' face at the idea of going back to the CDi was priceless 😂
Morgil yeah man He was like Yikes I don't Think so
James at that moment:
"Who is this person sitting next to me and what has he done to my friend?" 😂
Very😆
😂😂 yah, how about noooo.
It almost looked like he slipped into a momentary fit of madness for a second there, like he was reliving some age old trauma hahahahah
Found out after this was filmed we needed the Super Action Controller to play Rocky properly. Maybe I'll do a stream of the game the right way sometime. Anyway, you may also like my previous Coleco stream th-cam.com/video/YhPaH30Yzo0/w-d-xo.html
Didn't even make it to level three in the oil game
"In case the audience is confused , I am this blue line" … wait, now I am confused.
I knew there was gonna be comments about that line... lol
James' face when Mike tells him he has a modded CDI LUL
hahah was like, we're not gunna do that Mike. 😂
The reason Rocky didn't control well is you were using the wrong controller. It used the super action controller.
+YJZep
Thank you! I've been stating that it was intended to be played with the Super Action Controllers. I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who recognized this!
YJZep FINALLY someone else gets it!
ThinkerOnTheBus wow look at all these all of the sudden professors.
Larry Medina the correct phrase is "all of a sudden".
there is not just one sudden, therefore you can not use the terminology "the sudden".
you're welcome.
Did this game come bundled with the controllers, my recollection, as a like 7 year old, was yes they did, since I had the controllers as well and really don't see my parents buying them at the time.
Oooooooooooo when it gets through to me
It's always new to me
Uh double visions got the best of me
I just love how even after all this time, Mike and James are still so close.
I need a Mike in my life :(
How long have they known eachother?
James: “Don’t ya hate it when you’re trying to get oil and all these monsters keep coming out?”
Mike: “It’s a problem.”
Lol I love it.
That oil game is pretty awesome, it almost makes me want to buy a Colecovision just to play it....
DvdXploitr they made it for every system. I have it for Atari 800 .
the controller is a nightmare
It looks like a clone of Aardvark.
Hadoken
Which was a clone of Anteater.
Zervus the oil game . I've never played either mind you, I m just guessing cause how else could aardvark play?
u played rocky colcovision as avgn in doublevision episode
That's what I thought too. Because I remember seeing the ref without a face. I think he might've even commented on it.
I knew i remembered that little Rocky theme!
B - SEVENTEEN BOMBERRRRRRRRRR
Jimmy Larmour Biiiiiiiiggg Seventeeeen inch Boooooooner
Bawng Squawd.
That's the Intellivision one.
Eh it's still good.
People forget that coleco was a pretty darn good console. The fact that it had expansion capabilities made it even cooler. Just that those dreams were never fully realized in the proper manner...had weird controllers too and not as many people owned it as the 2600.
to be fair this console was released right when the effects of the video game crash of 1983 were really starting to take effect so it is not Coleco's fault.
TotallyRadicalRetroGames what about intelevision? Which was better?
gigoman1982 That certainly had some effect but so did the companies internal issues and just not capitalizing on initial successes.
Larry Medina Good question. Personal preference I guess. Although the intellivision was several years older. I personally would go Coleco just because the controllers were slightly better and the gameplay was better overall for most games. But dont get me wrong the Intellivision had some good games for a console released in the late 70s
TotallyRadicalRetroGames true but one thing I'm sure we can both agree on is that focusing entirely on the Coleco Adam computer was a bad idea for the company.
Oil's Well reminds me of the arcade game Anteater. Very, very similar.
Absolutely love that game. It can be really difficult until you figure everything out, and I think that's why it is kinda forgotten.
Burger time... hit me hard on nostalgia there. >.>
I wish I had friends like you guys.
Ikr
My aunt owned one of those and I would always play it when I was at her house.
I think Rocky had to be played with the Super Controller to get all the controls.
Doy Owan yes it's called the super action controller and it was one of the games that required it
Pro controller
You are right.
Yes, the Super Action Controller.
Baseball also used the Action controller.
Oil's Well looks like a good game. I am impressed with how well the pipeline mechanics work when returning back to the factory to avoid hazards.
ColecoVision Love That AVGN Episode ONE OF The Best.
BC’s quest for tires, Below the Root, castle, Willy the worm, adventures in math....nostalgia!
omg, this brings back so many good memories.
Rocky game was made to use the Super Action Controllers. Controllers that have an arcade-like joystick and 4 or 5 coloured buttons.
I always end up missing James & Mike Mondays but get caught up every so often. You guys are great buddies, reminds me of me and my friends sitting together playing GTA:SA on PS2
yay it is this time of the week again (thanks for giving me a reason to be happy about mondays)
You reviewed that rocky game on your doible vison avgn video.
+Dante Clarke
How can he even give it a proper review when he does not realize the game was intended to be used with the Super Action Controllers??? He does not have full control without them!
+Joshua Norris
*Zachary!!!*
Oy vey!
I just started discovering the ColecoVision through the Flashback system and am enjoying it, glad to see this video.
Holy crap...The Oils Well sounds were used during the drive-in scene in the movie Explorers from 1985. The only reason it stood out is because I just re-watched it last week.
Right there with ya, James. I grew up with hundreds of ROM hacks on 5.25 floppies for the Apple IIE and there's dozens of games I'm nostalgic for that I couldn't possibly identify anymore.
Look up the special controllers for Coleco, they were call soemthing Action Controllers, and the Football & Baseball games had the some special name in front of them...Rocky is really fun with the correctcontrollers, you can uppercut & hook and other things.
Super Action Controller
The Rocky episode only included a review of the SMS game, but the Nerd did play this Rocky game in the ColecoVision episode (aka Doublevision part 2).
Nice to see some ColecoVision and that you guys are enjoying the games. It was my second console as a kid and is still my favorite. Looking forward to part 2, with some Mr. Do! maybe?
I remember my Mom and Dad used to play Oil Well's a lot on the Atari 800. BC's Quest for Tires I played on it as well, fun games.
Two parts?! That's double-vision!
I had BC's quest for tires for my Commodore 64 in the early 1980's. My friends and I played it a lot and I completely forgot about it. Thanks for bringing up some fond memories.
Nice trip down memory lane, guys! I had a friend that had a Colecovision, and I always wanted one ('till I got a C64). Never played Oil's Well, but it looks a lot like an old arcade game called 'Anteater'.
Some people in the comments section said there is a version of Oils for the C-64 I might have to track it down!
I would actually *love* to have a go on a ColecoVision & I never even had one, great video guys!
Love Mondays with one of my favorite TH-camrs of all time.
I had the Nabu Network as a kid and Loved B.C. Quest for Tires.
I've never seen that Oils Well game before! It's rare for me to come across a retro game I haven't seen. Looks like a lot of fun.
TotallyRadicalRetroGames i played it so much as a kid. Its on the Coleco flashback.
That's certainly not a "rare game". Oil's well or clones of it "Anteater" were on practically every 8-Bit system.
Frank Schneider you misunderstood what I wrote. I meant that it's rare that there are retro games I havent seen or played.
TotallyRadicalRetroGames
Ok. But I don't think that's really true, there were ~ 20000 games for the C64, 10000+ for the ZX Spectrum, ~ 5000 for the Amiga, and who knows how many for the PC-8801 and the PC-9801 that never made it out of Japan. Not talking of all the old DOS games and all the other (especially Japanese)) home computers. Nobody, .. ehm .. let's better say: no sane person has ever even played the majority of them (If you mean: consoles, that's a different thing and quite achievable ... ever played Arcadia 2001 games ? Had some nice (even licensed) ports of highly obscure arcade games you can't find on any other system.)
Frank Schneider well you may be right. But I'm almost 40 and been playing and collecting games since I was 6. Been messing with emulators since like the late 90s and been watching TH-cam since its infancy so there isnt a whole lot I haven't played or seen. Especially on a major console release like this one.
I've always liked the Rocky theme on Colecovision, just because of the Double Vision videos.
This is cool. I totally had B.C. and Rocky for my Colecovision. It s great to see these again. Haven't had the system in over 25 years.
I used to have Oil's Well on a 1983 MSX computer and played it quite a bit during the mid 80s. I was in the kitchen and heard the game start up sound and immediately knew what it was. Such a great game, the Caleco version looks and sounds exactly the same.
Yep, that B.C. game came out in 1983, while SMB1 was released in 1985 in Japan. There was a sequel called "Grog's Revenge" that came out in 1984, and it's also a bit of a weird specimen. They tried to give the game a bit of a 3D feel, and your goal is to collect clams to pay tolls at the end of each section.
james's face when mike tells him about the modded CD-i... he's like "are you fucking kidding me?"
You should make video about Commodore 64 games
I'm surprised they haven't. Not to mention the ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Amiga...
Absolutely!
+Fırat Altay
I completely agree I dont think there have been any Mondays with the Commodore 64 or Amiga :/
I too had a C64, all my friends did. The only game console that I have (other than an ancient Pong console) is the Super Nintendo and I don't have many games for that.
I remember playing Quest for Tires on the C64 and even though I don't think it was exactly like the one shown in this video it sure brought back memories.
Thanks James and Mike. I didn't have a ColecoVision growing up, so this video was all new to me.
I cant believe you have BCs quest for tires! I remember it from when I was 4 years old! I had almost forgotten it. I didnt have VGA graphics on that computer so it was pink and blue 😂 this game was actually pretty funny and cool for the early days of games but those blue and pink colors made it hard to play. I'm still in shock from seeing this again after 30 years... 😱❤. Thanks for this one James and Mike. Good early memories brought back to life.
Talking about Double Vision, Ep. 45 is not in the "Oldest to newest" playlist of AVGN. It hasn't been there for ages. Could you guys fix this, please? My OCD quicks in when I'm watching the playlist and get only the CollecoVision episode 🤓
kicks *
Sadly I can relate to that
iirc it's in the season Playlist but yeah I always thought it was weird it wasn't in the standalone episodes Playlist
BC's Quest for Tires 2: Grogs Revenge is probably my favorite game of all time. Mainly for nostalgic reasons yes, but that was the game I played for thousands of hours when I was a kid.
This was the first video game system I ever played. My dad had one and I played it a couple years before i got Nintendo. Congo Bongo was probably my favorite Coleco game
Rocky: Blue is your Stamina, you keep collapsing because you're overexerting it. Yes, you made more damage, but you let your blue indicator deplete.
Holy crap this brings back memories. I had a lot of games for Coleco if I can remember them all...Looping, Omega Race, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Ladybug, Smurfs, B.C. Quest for Tires, Cosmic Avenger, Space Panic, Pitstop, and Jumpman Jr. Donkey Kong came with the console and I think Space Panic did too and holy hell did I HATE Space Panic. Ladybug was by far my most played game
LOL - I had the ColecoVision in elementary school, this brings back so many memories, I loved BC's Quest for Tires, it's hard to imagine but at the time the graphics were fucking amazing. ColecoVision was a great system, so many great memories!
I used to love playing Oil's Well!
Oh God, I had BC's Quest for Tires on my Atari 800! I had no instructions; so I had no idea what to do!
I totally had B.C's quest for DOS and I 100% had forgotten about it. wow.
These games, i NEVER saw when i owned a Colecovision (except for B.C which i remember the cartoon it was based on (ABC Saturday Morning Rock block i think).
For Colecovision, i owned: Star Trek Stra. Simulator, Smurfs, Jungle Hunt and 2010 Space Odyssey (yup, from that movie!)
I loved Colecovision growing up and playing Mousetrap and Ladybug with my grandpa even if we had Mario on the sidelines. I was finally able to get a new system on Ebay recently and of course the memories are better than the games but it’s still fun. Thanks for bringing back the memories guys.
I have been on a Colecovision kick lately! Just picked up a bunch of classics :)
Hey Brian!
hey man! :-D
Hoshu Films ... going well :-)
Hi Brian
Hey Adam!
Episodes like this of J&M are my favourite!
Great episode. Please more of these. I like when you play interesting/old games where you talk about how ridiculous the game is. :D
DoubleVision is one of my favorite episodes
Just some random retro games, the best type of James & Mike episodes!
BCS quest for tires was on literally everything. Early Apple II. I remember playing this in monochrome at a friend's place.
Great series of videos, dudes! I
NIce to see you guys covering one of these more obscure consoles! As a side note: that judge in the Rocky game is true professional.
Well my dad had a ColecoVision when he was a teen.
The ColecoVision is a very interesting Console. I always thought it was cool. Thank you for covering this.
This has kind of made me want to track one down!
I also played that B.C. game on C64 when I was a kid. I remember my neighbor had it. Later played Daggerfall at the same guys house.
James's face when Mike mentions playing CD-i.
Squish 'em Sam was my favorite!
The Oils Well game concept has been done many times since then, especially in Japan.
"Susume! Mile Smile" is the most notable one.
Oils Well looks like that Anteater arcade game that came out in the early 80's. The gameplay is almost identical. Thanks for another great gameplay video, good stuff!
I also had the BC game for Commodore 64 back in the 80's. It was actually one of my favorites. We were one of those families where my dad would come from a work with some of those original floppy discs (actually floppy) absolutely loaded with bootlegged games. Since that was barely recognized back then. And of the about 300 total games I had, I definitely BC, Popeye, Dig Dug and Gyruss the most.
If you have or can find it play Pepper II, excellent Colecovision game.
Great vid as always.
A lot of really good titles for this system. One of my favorite ported Froggers. The Parker brothers games as a whole are great for coleco, montezumas revenge is great. Also, the imagic titles are good. Dragonfire is a personal fav of mine
I had the BC game on my C64... haven't seen it in years!!!
that was the best version!
Great console for it’s time. Donkey Kong was a great port. Beamrider, Lady Bug, Artillery Duel and Avenger are some great titles for the Colecovision.
The look on James's face when Mike talks about his mod-system...priceless.
The look on James' face when Mike mentions the RGB modded CD-i is priceless. :D
James and Mike play ColecoVision... a dream comes true :)
The Rocky game was made to use the new Super Action controllers for Colecovision at the time. They had more buttons than the standard controller.
The Cockney rhyming slang that James mentions is correct, there’s other phrases such as “apples and pears” for “stairs”
I used to have B.C quest for tires on ColecoVision
I had a ColecoVision when I was a kid... pre-NES days. Space Fury was always my favorite.
Recently picked up an ADAM but I need to build a power supply for it.
Most of my NES games came from the fleamarket, usually no manual,or box, but when I did have the box I held onto them.
You two really are the dynamic duo
That oils well game looks really entertaining. Wonder if there is a newer version out there for modern consoles...
I had the Rocky game back then. It's supposed to be used with the Super Action controllers, which is why you can only throw one kind of punch with the regular ones.
I finally added a colecovision to my collection. ThNks for the video
I had Oil Well on my 8086 DOS machine! It had cutscenes in 4-bit monochrome - it was glorious!
Thanks as always for the awesome content guys, i always look forward to watching james and mike mondays. I'd love to see james play around more with the nintendo switch
Heard Cabbage Patch Kids twice but no footage so guessing that's next week. I had a bunch of Colecovision games as a kid, Oils Well was one of them. I also had the Atari 2600 adapter that you could plug into the front of the coleco and play Atari games.
Oils looks pretty cool, I wanna play that!
Cabbage Patch Kids is legit awesome. Hope they play it.
Ladybug and Smurfs were my favorite Coleco games. And Coleco Baseball was the first game I ever raged at. 7 years old screaming, swearing, throwing controllers..... Good fucking times.
Darian Orlando yea ladybug was dope
Hush
The Coleco had a Z80 architecture, the same as the MSX family of computers. I've played Oil's Wells and BC's Quest for Tires on the MSX back in the day. They are exactly the same. Never had a ColecoVision though.
Action Controller had a bunch of buttons in a up right controllers for each finger and had a joystick on top, you cant play Rocky, or Football, or Baseball and a few others without the special controllers.
love coleco, looking forward to this!
I *loved* my Colecovision when I was a kid. I was really poor, so I got it in 1997 (N64 and PlayStation had already been out for several years at that point. I was a little late to the party when it came to consoles.) But I really loved it, and it brings back good memories. I wish today's kids could enjoy these types of games, but I just don't see that happening in the age of portable skyrim and VR headsets.
As soon as this video finished I immediately looked for a virtual copy of Oil's Well. I'm having a blast with it.
Ahaha james face to the rgb cdi was gold. Nice video ~
