Ozma Wars posted on another thread about a dream of "Rescue on Fractalus" on the CV. Wow. That got me thinking. "Fractalus" and "Ballblazer" are among my top 8-bit games of all time ("MULE" too). Could the Colecovision hardware handle these titles? "Ballblazer" has super fast scrolling and a top of sprite scaling. And then there is the whole fractal generating landscape in "Fractalus". Let's not talk about RAM/ROM limitations, but could the hardware handle ports of these titles?

I bet a great version of "Maniac Mansion" could be in the offing....


Ah... to dream. :)

Thanks for support, LynxVGL
The Atari 7800 forum always speak about the "superiority" of this system compared to ColecoVision so I am curious about homebrewers opinion...ciao

Both machines have their strengths and weaknesses. Just have a look at the many locked "vs" threads for opinions from both sides.

Maniac Mansion would be great and Zak. The Indy titles and Monkey Island are also classics.

Going further back I used to play:

Rescue on Fractalus!
The Eidolon
Koronis Rift

Cool space games...the Eidolon was strange in that it was like Fractalus but you faced these monsters in caves.

I bought a 7800 way back when and almost immediately got rid of it. Hated the controllers, didn't like the graphics compared to other systems, and a slow roll out of good titles killed it for me.
