Although I don't have a Colecovision, I keep a pretty close watch on the
videogames scene. Coleco will be releasing 15 new cartridges during the
first six months of this year (some are already out). They are:
SPACE FURY: This is a hi-res space shoot-em-up in which the hero has to blast
invading aliens and dock with his mother ship to get enough energy
to keep going.
SPACE PANIC: In this one, the hero is fighting aliens on several levels using
ladders to get from one level to another.
VICTORY: Here the hero must control a battlestar to stop the invasion. The
ship can spin and fire in all directions. Lasers and shields are used.
DONKEY KONG JUNIOR: A reproduction of the arcade hit. I'm not sure if it
has all levels or not.
LOOPING: This is a control the airplane type of game with two different screens.
First the flyer has to dodge hot air ballons to release some control
gates. Then they have to enter the control gates and fly through what
looks like a maze.
GORF: Anyone who knows how Gorf plays on the Astrocade system will have an
idea what to expect on Colecovision. I don't know what the graphics
look like.
PEPPER II: Pepper runs on a track and must zip around closing rooms to earn
points and treasures. Four different mazes are displayed.
MR. DO: The object of this game is to pick cherries in the orchard. The
grass has to be mowed to get to the cherries and some bad guys have
to be chased away.
BUCK ROGERS ON THE PLANET OF ZOOM: The player is the gunner and navigator
of a space ship and must save the galaxy.
SLITHER: An unforgettable encounter with deadly snakes and other creatures.
This game comes packed with the new Roller Controller (track ball).
CONTACT BASEBALL: Three dimensional baseball that actually lets you feel the
ball hitting the bat. It comes packed with the new Super Action
Controller. This controller has a pistol type grip with a trigger
for each of four fingers. Allows very precise control.
CONTACT FOOTBALL: For use with the Super Action Controller.
ROCKY BATTLES THE CHAMP: Three dimensional fight scene. It can be played
against the computer or another player. For use with the Super
Action Controller.
SKIING: There are two different games here. The player can choose either
open mountain skiing or a challenging slalom course.
KEN USTON BLACKJACK/POKER: Can be played by one to four players. You sit
across from the dealer.
In addition to the above, Coleco will release shortly the following titles
about which I know little:
DESTRUCTION DERBY
SWORD AND SORCERER
SMURFETTE'S BIRTHDAY
FIDELITY HORSE RACING (HI-RES)
WILD WESTERN
DRACULA (HI-RES)
TUNNELS AND TROLLS
FRENZY
WIZARD OF WOR
The good news for you Colecovision owners is that Twentieth Century Fox
will start releasing their games in Coleco compatable versions as noted
below:
M*A*S*H: (June) Non-violent game for one or two players
THE EARTH DIES SCREAMING: (March) Invasion of earth type game.
MELTDOWN: (April) Must control a Nuclear Reactor.
THE FALL GUY: (May) A stunt game based on the TV series.
9 TO 5: (May) A secretary-boss shoot-em-up type game.
SPACE-MASTER X-7: (March) An arcade style game based on a movie.
They also have a list of releases planned for June and beyond but I won't
list them because thay just say for most systems and do not specify which
ones but you can be sure that several will be for Colecovision.
Hope this helps...
