I wanted to say mate Episode 2 was brilliant. it's a shame that developer dude can't be in every show (for the duration i mean) with you and SoCal mike, the three of you are great together. I really enjoyed the show and now im getting my Smurf on with my Colecovision emulator. :)Quote:

Sweet listening now whilst playing Druid on the FDS. Tons of Nintendo talk so it goes with the game play. LOL
Coolness!
Hey guys. Just listened to the third podcast and I'm loving the show so far! I never owned a Colecovision back in the day, but a friend sent me one a few years ago along with a handful of boxed games, and I've loved the machine ever since I got my hands on it.
SoCal: the Mario & Yoshi game that's on your GB multicart was actually released outside of Japan as simply "Yoshi." It's a delightful puzzle game and one that I enjoy a lot. It was available on the GB and the NES, and the NES version has been re-released on Nintendo's virtual console service for Wii, Wii U, and 3DS.
Also, in the mid 90s, Accolade released a handful of classic game compilations for the GB. There were four in total, including two games each: "Asteroids/Missile Command", "Centipede/Millipede", "Galaga/Galaxian", and "Defender/Joust". I believe later on they were ported to the GBC for colorization, and we're individually sold instead of being packed together two games at a time.

Caught up and looking forward to episode 4 mate. This is a great show, very funny.
Episode 4 has finally been put out :) Been traveling so much, had very little time to get the editing done.

Gonna listen to Ep 4 tomorrow. Thanks, Focus! Always an entertaining show!
Oh man, I am sooooo going to get these! (likely more than one, great prize material for the podcast!) Now just have to wait until October 1st :( Rats!
Attachment 1550Attachment 1551
Agreed! I can't wait!
If anyone would like to be put on the schedule to be a guest host on the show and join in all the shenanigans, drop me a PM or email me at colecovisionspodcast@gmail.com
If you wish to be on, let me know what two colecovision games you like and a classic coleco toy :)
Currently I have Paul Nurminen from the Intellivisionaries down to be on the show for the June episode :) (Looping and Space Fury) the May episode is still open, but since we are introducing a new host for the show I figure I would leave that one open and start the 4th host beginning with the June episode.
Indieseoul has signed up for the July episode :) - Star Wars Arcade and Galaxian
Cool!Quote:

If you want, I can give you a portion of his interview where he talks about it to use in your episode.
That would be cool! I have hardly had any luck finding programmers or getting them to return my emails :) I will be sure to credit you and Intellivisionaries for the interview donation :)Quote:

Well here are my High scores for this months podcast that records May 24th :) My threshold score is ok, but my BC quest for tires is terrible!

I'm looking forward to being on the show, guys!
The first official pic of the entire ColecoVisions Podcast crew :) Great trip out to Arizona this week, I think the game stores we visited were getting a kick out of our bantering back and forth across the store trying to find "the find" before the other guy :)
New episode recording June 21st and will have a very special 4th guest host Nurmix! of the Intellivisionaries!

Wait, why'd you post that GQ photo shoot picture? Where's the real ColecoVisions Podcast crew picture?
GQ Nerd Special? (Fortunately not Nerd Swimsuit Edition)
You make an excellent point, Shaun.Quote:

We have to make sure to get a picture like that at CGE.
Actually, we need one of all three podcasts. Intellivisionaries, Colecovisions and Retro Gaming Roundup. Just put SoCal in the middle of the two shows.
I really enjoy this podcast, The intro was great, very well done by 'Fergus o' 2600' and Willie. It was nice to hear Nurmix talk about the intellivision but i had just listened to the Treasure of Tarmin episode so i was all nurmixed out, what i had to do is fast forward his parts and listen to the other guys. :) - Great new episode Focus, keep up with it mate you have a great podcast on your hands and Gamester 81 is right at home with you guys and he adds a good deal to the show.
