    Who would have thought this product would still be available today?? Nice! As of last week, I'm now finally the proud owner of an original boxed Colecovision. Got it in Paradise, CA for $60. Can't wait to get this flash cart in the mail.

      @@MaximumRD I don’t get it. I’ve watched colecovision games on RUclips. They seemed nothing special to me. I would have even said they seem crappy. And yet hooking it up to my tube tv the other night and putting in donkey Kong, and playing it for real for the first time….I was rather shocked at the quality of the graphics. It felt like I had turned on an Nintendo NES. The sound also shockingly good. If it just had had the levels in the right order, and the ending sequence of Kong falling down, I’d say it was literally as good as NES. So crazy.

      @@dogeymon83 It was an amazing Pre-NES system imho. Thing is yeah, playing that Donkey Kong at home was amazing for the time it was the closest console to the arcade, games like Burger Time, Berzerk, Mr. Do!, Zaxxon, Popeye, years ahead of 2600 or Intellivision. Also some of the games like Frenzy or PepperII or Cosmic Adventure you really didn't see anywhere else. Has always been my hands down favorite Pre-NES console I think when people give it a chance and discover the library if they did not experience first hand like me back in the day I think they are surprised how great it was. Then you throw in the expansion modules, Trackball, 2600 adapter, Steering Wheel, it's just a great platform. ENJOY ! welocme to the club!

      @@dogeymon83 Some of the 2600 versions like Pitfall are nice on it too. On Donkey Kong you can even do the level skip trick form the arcade (falling through the bottom to the next level) I show some of that in my demo of the multicart or might be my USB multicart, it's been a while.

  • @MaximumRD
    @MaximumRD  14 лет назад

    @EquilibriumGaming My only point to such devices is it allows the closest experience playing on the original hardware. The Colecovision hardware is not the most durable so it is nice not having to wear out the cart slot, save space and the convenience. Once the game loads there really is no difference. FOR THE TRUE COLLECTOR of course nothing beats the original cart/manual etc. Myself I am satisfied just using the original hardware by any means, I am not so much into hunting down all the carts.

  • @MaximumRD
    @MaximumRD  14 лет назад

    @EquilibriumGaming True but a big difference is you are not amulating the Colecovision HARDWARE as you are when you run the roms on a windows emulator. The ROMS are merely a copy of the original cartridge content in the form of a single file, difference usually appear becuase the HARDWARE is not 100% emulated. In the case of the DREAMCASTS the backups are disc images that have been ripped and re-structured to normal CD standards. Anyway, it's all in the details and can be discussed endlessly.

  • @MaximumRD
    @MaximumRD  14 лет назад

    @james42519 No certainly not but when considering the time/effort.skill involved it is not necessarily just to cover the parts, these are made in much smaller quantities too. Personally as I have mentioned to others, having pretty much entire game collections selectable on one cartridge means not having too hunt down each and every cart individually, buying , shipping, etc. I have no problem forking out $150+ to literally have the consoles entire library at my fingertips, just my opinion.

  • @MaximumRD
    @MaximumRD  14 лет назад

    @james42519 Oh there most certainly ARE, in fact many cartridge based systems have such devices if you know where to look. do some google searching. StoneAge gamer will soon be releasing something called the EVERDRIVE which is for Genesis, Atari 2600 has the HARMONY CARTRIDGE. NES and SNES has the Powerpaks at retro usb . com etc. Just these items are not well advertised or in your face as the tend to be made by small developers.

    @hyunchoi98 Well at 26 sec I certainly think it is not too long especially compared to others I have seen. Consider also most of the "internet" generation especially young kids like yourself have no attention span anymore, the fact is I do not use it every video just special ones so I don't over use it. I debuted and got a lots of feedback some time ago the majority were satisfied. Fact is, if it were 10 sec. somebody would still complain it's too long, tough, you can always skip it, not hard!

  • @james42519

    @MaximumRD  13 лет назад

    @border205 To me all such carts are worth the price. They are not for everyone. True die hard collectors enjoy searching for, finding and winning the actual cart on Ebay etc. I am a true collector of HARDWARE, the consoles ONLY. I have no interest in tracking down each individual cart. For me the convenience of having the entire library selectable from a menu on a single cart saves me time. How much time to track down every single game? How much cost?
