      @@The_Real_DCT It was a double whammy; the failure of the Adam, and the runaway success of the Cabbage Patch Kids. Coleco, instead of developing more games for the already successful ColecoVision, abandoned it at the first sign of market instability and put all its eggs in the Cabbage Patch basket, which really bit them in the butt hard when that craze died off. Coleco went belly up in 1988.

    Bootskell, Cavit, and many of the other games where you say "the graphics are kinda plain" all appear to come from this one Japanese developer who did ports of all his games to all sorts of obscure computer and game systems: Sharp X1, NEC PC88, VIC-1001 (Japanese VIC-20), etc. An interesting little corner of TH-cam I stumbled across a few months back. Looks like he's doing the ColecoVision as well.
    The plain graphics enable him to reuse assets across games and ports. And as you say, the gameplay is very good. So we have one dedicated Japanese guy keeping gaming alive on all these niche little systems.

    Knight lore (21:51) is an iconic sinclair zx spectrum game by Ultimate, who became Rare (yup, the starfox and donkey kong Rare). They held this game back for a year after it was completed so they could release a couple of more basic 2d games as they figured no one would be interested in them after seeing Knight lore. Amazing confidence in how far ahead they were in the industry that they could do that.
    They made a few sequels, Alien 8 and pentagon before developing a scrolling 3d isometric engine which was again hugely impressive for the zx spectrum.

    • @SmashCatRandom
      @SmashCatRandom 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah for sure - the Stamper brothers moved onto consoles just after Knight Lore was released, and UPtG's output really suffered after that. The games released on their isometric engine got steadily worse, and the conversions from the ZX Spectrum to other systems were pretty bad, honestly. But they redeemed themselves with their Nintendo work.

    Knight Lore is a version, and it looks like a pretty good one, of the Ultimate Play the Game, (later to become Rare) games for the ZX Spectrum. The 'Filmation' technique of the 3d caused a massive wave of clones and variants thereafter. You have to find the cauldron; this will tell you the ingredients you need to find to place in there to make a cure for your lycanthropy.

    I was really impressed with the ports of Children of the Night and Goonies. There are also several other good games like Star Castle that show how this hardware was still capable and differentiated in its generation, because it was very well made. Some consoles like the SG-1000 and the Atari 7800 that were from a later generation left a lot to be desired compared to the ColecoVision.

      Star Castle was awesome. Probably my new favorite home port.

    HI. it would be more correct to divide real homebrew from game hacks taken from other consoles. Effort is different Don't you think?

  • @dallase1
    @dallase1 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What's wrong with the Wrestling game requiring you to select moves from a list bad? That make it easier to know what moves you are executing. Gauntlet couldn't have come out for Colecovision because it came out after the North American Home Video Game Crash and the Colecovision was discontinued the same year Gauntlet came out in the arcades?
    The Ghost Blaster game is playing a simplified version of the song Ghost Busters.Front Line is not a home brew game it's a n official Coleco game that requires the Super the Super Action Controllers.

    FrontLine is one of the original Coleco releases for the "Super-Controller" (4 buttons)
    late release , not really Fun.
    better stick with Commando or Ikari Warriors ...

    Pitfall 2 didn't have an arcade game. It was on consoles and computers.

    There's no such thing as PAL or NTSC Colecovision games. They're the same worldwide. It's the systems that were NTSC or PAL. It's not like Atari 2600.

    Homebrews should be pushing the limits of the systems. Most of these aren't even VCS quality.

      Well, I appreciate anyone who can make a game for these old systems.

      Not everything can be a visually-astounding tech demo. What's important is the gameplay, and having something else to play on your ColecoVision when you're bored of the small number of official releases.

    • @xeriland
      @xeriland 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Dumb. Many of these are free ROMs. Still that are plenty that blow away anything the VCS can do. He only showed a small portion of Children of the Night. It is a massive game with an incredible graphics and soundtrack. It beats Zelda on the NES, which is often touted as the best game on that system.

    The bomb jack music was actually a terrible version of the C64's Jean Michael Jarre music (which was also on a small loop but sounded amazing).

      No, Mario Bros. does not require an SGM. Why comment when you don't know?

    A real homebrew stand-out is Risky Rick (a Rick Dangerous clone); it really pushed the ColecoVision to the max. th-cam.com/video/IiUEyliXFXA/w-d-xo.html
    Frontline was an original game on the ColecoVision back in the day. Works well on the AdamEm emulator for the original XBOX. Try the triggers or B and X for left and right rotation.
