I read these boards often for my own arcade cabs I have at home, so getting back here to post news won't be an issue. :) Mike Stulir Flashback 2 Engineering Team |

There isn't enough "original" content in the Coleco library. Most of Coleco's library was made up of licensed titles -- and any games that would be used would have to be licensed all over again for a new Colecovision. I think that may make the cost of the unit prohibitively expensive. :( The Intellivision might be a better candidate for the "Flashback 2" treatment as a big chunk of the Intellivision library is made up of original games that would not need to be relicensed. I know there are some Intellivision Plug & Play units floating around out there. I have never played one, but my understanding is that they are ports of the Intellivision games to an NES-based unit. The technology is similar to the Jakks units or even the original Atari Flashback. I'd like to see the Blue Sky Rangers go back to their original schematics and do a Intellivision based on the same principles as the Flashback 2 -- the REAL games on the REAL hardware. That would be cool! 8) Mike Stulir Flashback 2 Engineering Team |
