Five Guys for dinner. Fire Rooster and are going to the movies next.

It is a deeply strange shooter where the targets include flying saucers, aircraft carriers, sailing ships, airplanes, ships that look likes airplanes, hot air balloons and whatever this thing is supposed to be. Is it a scroll? Trophy? If it gets too close you explode.

Subroc is one of my faves for this system. I played better than I remember ever playing. Got to level 20 before realizing I had to leave and let myself die with a score of 654500.

Lady Bug is a Pac-Man like maze port of the arcade game. The Coleco arcade ports were much better IMO than the 2600 ones. Although I don’t think the Coleco ever got a Pac-Man or Ms Pac-Man.

Okay it is Coleco Vision time! The Coleco was the first console I had at home. This isn’t that exact unit. When I got it, it had some visual glitches … which I’d say is common for this console even when I was originally playing the one I had in the early 80s. The same vendor who did my S-Video mod go for the 7800 did a composite mod for this one, and he cleaned the unit and it now plays real nice. The composite is a big improvement over RF which is all it can do from the factory.

Also have a very nice dust cover for this one too.

At VCFSoCal they told me they were working on a version that didn’t need the serial cable. Would be interested in trying that out if the serial port is the problem.

I will play around with it some more later. Could be something wrong with the serial port on my coco or the cable on the cartridge or it could be user error. I should have put that one first. I was hoping to try some games but the coco doesn’t use standard game ports so I will need an adapter or coco specific joystick anyway.

Well I’m getting IO errors again that’s too bad.
