Bought Risky Woods (big box release) for Amy (of course) ^_^
Do you remember it?
Do i remember it ?? Damn right i do... I remember getting the demo on a magazine (the One or Amiga Action, i forgot) and then getting the full game
A really great game and best on the Amiga.

I used to play it when i was 12 and i remember that it was pretty hard for me, maybe now that i'm 30 i could beat the game without cheating... i'll try as soon as it'll arrive.
Yup, and it actually seems to work, however I'm not able to test it properly as I haven't got any pods yet.
Does anyone know if it one can use an USB-to-RS232-adaptor to interface QuaterArcades FIDE with the Fluke?

Oh no my friend, this certainly NOT a cash register. This is what many arcade and pinball reppers only dare to dream (wet dreams) about. };-{P

Just ordered a new gaming headset for my PC as i don't really like using my expensive Sennheiser HD 600's for gaming!... So i bought a cheap and cheerful 'Alienware TactX' headset
Turns out the Alienware TactX headset is just plain cheap with nothing cheerful about it... The right ear cup started rattling and crackling and the sound started to get extremely tinny! I don't care much for over use of bass, but this headset had no bass at all! Luckily Amazon have a great returns system... I also avoided the Steelseries 5HV2 as it's the same as the Alienware headset.
I've now gone ahead and ordered the Corsair Vengeance 1300 headset

I ****LOVE**** my ColecoVision. It's a great system, but the controllers are difficult to use.
Very nice!

Very nice!

guy also 'threw in'
a partially working console (one of the controller ports doesn't work...i'll crack it open and see if i cant fix that at some point)
4 partially working controllers (see if i can make 2 fully working ones of of them....)
a working Atari 2600 expansion module (#1)
2 power supplies (one working and one apparently dead)
a stack of manuals for some of the games, other games which were not included, console manual, expansion module manuals + original posters which came with Squish Em Sam and one for Sewer Sam (always nice to get these)
a couple of controller overlays (mostly for the super action sports games)
the interesting thing i find about ColecoVision stuff, moreso than any other console it seems that they *rarely* come with their original boxes (well, Atari 2600 carts too, but A2600 carts in their boxes aren't hard to come by if you really look, there's just SO many A2600 carts floating around)
i bought 21 Intellivision games a couple of weeks back...every one in their box...most with manuals and overlays.
of the 3 early 'big' North American consoles (A2600, Intellivision and ColecoVision) the CV has the best Arcade conversions (until Atari put out the 5200, they were good too)

Your broken controller port is most likely due to a fault chip. I had a problem with mine so I removed both controller chips then soldered in sockets. I bought a bunch of chips for spares as well.
Here's the chip you need:

Good luck!

thanks Heather...its a good bet it is the chip...i fired the console up and the problem appears to be the port is stuck going 'up' as if the controller was constantly pushed in the upward position....and barring every single controller being wonky 
usually that's a flaky controller chip.
other than that the console actually seems fine.

Definitely the chip.
I had a heck of a time removing the old solder from the controller chips. Both of my Coleco's also had one pin bent on the bottom side of the board. I presume this was done to hold the chip in place before it was soldered.Good luck!
Heather
Fancy selling one to me then? I've only got 2x a500's and need a 1200 (stock is fine).Got another A1200 (has 8 in total now). This one was sold as not working, since the seller didn't have a power supply to test is with - so I got it REALLY cheap.
Well.... it works
