I'm hosting a ColecoVision tournament this November on the Retrocade Magazine forums - most likely competing on a six pack of titles.

I can't seem to think of a good title for the tournament. Help!

[Pixelboy]

How about "RetroColeco Tournament"?

[youki]

Colecompetition

Colecontest

[retrorussell]

Colec-off
Actually, youki probably has a good one with Colecompetition.

How about Colecothon like a triathalon but you have six events instead of three. Whoever has the highest scores in the six games overall wins the competition.

"High Resolution" Half Dozen?
Captain Hicks Colecovision?
The Arcade Quality Competition?
ColecoFest?
Your Vision Is Our Contest?
ColecoVision Boxcar Challenge?

Some good suggestions so far

Keep 'em coming!

And, I posted the list of games that can be voted on here.

The Cool-E-Co Playoffs 2011 (where "E" is for electronic, "co" is for COmpetition). Awesome play on words!

The name I thought of before posting this thread was "Hell Bent For Connecticut Leather."

Is that lame?

How about "Play Coleco, WIn a Bike."

[Yurkie]

I wouldn't worry about fancy names. I would worry about lack of interest/participation. I think you could actually discourage participation with a cheesey name.
Anyway best of luck.

I'm going to go with the Arcade Quality Competition

Anyone know where I can get a ColecoVision font?

Also, ColecoVision brotherhood: join my site and place scores in the tournament along with all the other games being tracked!

[Murph74]

Doesn't look like one ha been designed specifically, but via google came up with AIRLOCK as a possibility, and Eurostar Black Extended (attached here as "Colecovision Font") as suggested options.

Just some suggestions ...

What about doing something that looks like a cartridge box?



Top left corner: "A Video Game tournament from Retrocade Magazine"



Use the High resolution VIDEO... yellow "explosion" to put your "The Arcade Quality competition for Coleco Vision and Adam" with or with out the Adam.

With a picture of the coleco in the center.
Or the Kiosk

I would suggest putting the title of the competition at the top of the box and retrocade magazine, along with the dates and specifics in the yellow area. Make sure the name of the comp is in a larger font and stands out more prominently than anything else.

Very nice.
