If I can play Montezuma's Revenge on that ColecoVision, I'll be all over it.
Too Cool for Top 10 Lists

They say there will be "surprises" in regards to the games licensed, so hopefully they can get a DK or something good. I'd love to have the following:
- Bump 'n Jump
- Congo Bongo
- Cosmic Avenger
- H.E.R.O.
- Jungle Hunt
- Lady Bug
- Montezuma's Revenge
- Mr. Do!
- Smurf
- Venture
- Zaxxon
I want the Colecovision, but I remember how painful it was to use that controller. I will probably pass.
"It's all in the reflexes"
Other than it feeling like flimsy garbage, I never had an issue with the Coleco controller. It worked fine, just felt like it could break at any second.

The Super Action controllers were real piles of crap. My friend had two of them that we would use to play the baseball game with. The joysticks would sometimes catch/stick on a corner angle movement and I'd sometimes pinch the skin on my fingers between the 4 cheap triggers in the handle.Originally Posted by kingoffighters

With some Colecovision games, you can have a non-Coleco controller plugged in one slot and start the game up with the other. I think I fucked my control ports by frequently removing and inserting controllers, though. My system doesn't work properly anymore.
I think the CV is better off emulated. It's not like with the Intellivision where more games take advantage of the keypad and overlays well. The keypad on CV doesn't serve much purpose beyond selecting difficulty given that most games are arcade ports.
Full game list is finally available. Most of my want list made the final cut!

Sold on Montezuma's Revenge alone. Bummer that Congo Bongo didn't make the cut. Besides that, it's a pretty solid list. Any idea when this will be available?
I never thought I would see Oil's Well getting a re-release anywhere. I played that one a lot on C64. The CV version is almost the same.
