Should've posted about this piece on the second generation of video game consoles by @siliconundergro before the one on the third generation I linked the other day. This one's super cool too. Colecovision, Intellivision, Vectrex, Atari consoles, etc https://dfarq.homeip.net/second-generation-video-game-consoles

It looks like I don't have posted in a week! I was busy writing a complete book about CVBasic with four example games 😉

Do you want to give a peek at the cover? 😉✌️ #retro #retrogaming #colecovision

240p Test Suite Ported to... COLECOVISION?? (forums.atariage.com)

There's a diagnostic suite of software for game consoles which tests input lag and screen tearing on your display. This suite first popped up for consoles released at the turn of the century (Dreamcast, specifically), but someone has made a version of this toolkit for... the ColecoVision....

Nothing like having a coffee on Sunday morning, and coding a Z80 assembler because it is needed to bundle with CVBasic and having a Mac/Linux version. #retro #retrogaming #z80 #cvbasic #colecovision

Vectrex: The Console You Really Wanted

I didn't want to blog about my Vectrex just yet, but I'm just way to squeee at the moment, so...

Something I'd been after for a very long time - the Expansion Module 1 for the - which lets you play 2600 games on the console.

A bit of deoxit sprayed onto the two connectors, and it works perfectly 😎 (Still needs a clean up though!)

All known bugs in Super Space Acer are resolved. Trickiest one had a single instance of a helicopter enemy just randomly popping into place near the middle of the screen. Turns out I had an off-by-one that allowed the random speed generator to generate a -128 (due to signed char wraparound), and it happened exactly once in the generated patterns, in the middle of the very last stage. ;)

Now I just need to play through all the modes in normal and F18A modes and look for anything else weird. ;)

Got the little 80’s living room scene built on my Build tonight. It’s so “awesome” I can barely stand it. Love the little dude’s haircut, the CRT TV and the little kitty watching him play! 😂

Dude wonders in amazement at the compelling 4-bit LEGO graphics

@gedeonm I heard they went with the Atari because they couldn’t figure out how to do the paddles (;
