As some of you may know I am a fan of the ColecoVision and I make youtube videos of the games for it, as bad as they are.

I would like to know how I can help out in a more meaningfull way. I don't have that much knowledge of programming but I am willing to help out in any way that I can.

I could test games, print labels, put the word out, I could even solder the rom chips if needed, whatever. (Yes I do know how to solder!)

I am willing to help out in anyway I can. Feel free to let me know if I can help out.

Dude he was talking about his videos not the games, that was just being rude :roll:
@65Gamerguy I really enjoy your video's so what your doing right now is great for the ColecoVision Community :grin: I would say if you want to do more just be active and buy as many homebrews as you can (from the homebrew makers everyone I have talked to is super cool) and talk as much about the homebrews as you can. The more people that find out about how cool these games are the stronger the Community will be and more and more games will be made. Just be a active member and things will come up for you to help. ;) Thanks for the Question and the topic :grin:

I for one think Gamerguys videos are real good. He knows his stuff when it comes to the CV and I learn a lot about the system and its games from watching them.

I've learned a lot about coleco games i didnt know existed from 65 Gamer Guys videos! i think your video contribution alone is more then enough help to the coleco community! to see that people truly enjoy playing these games keeps me motivated to keep developing for the coleco and has made me sit back and enjoy games like venture and cosmic avenger all over again!

If i didnt see such a great community i would possibly never completed side trak if there was no excitement from the community! I think your enthusiasm for the coleco helped me and as a result the we have side trak, i guess you could say that was one way you helped the coleco community?! I'm sure someone will have a solid answer to your question on how to contribute, but again, i think your videos are more then enough to contribute!

I should have explained myself better in my original post so I can understand why you might have misread my intention.

Thanks for the kind words!

I would be willing to make a youtube video showing all the people making new games for the CV. I would need everyones permission and a link to their web page. Let me know if anyone is interested and I will work with you all to make it happen.

That would be pretty cool I know Collectorvision is releasing 3 new games right now. Did you get a chance to pre order them yet?
