Colecovision's GOOD, BAD and UGLY!
20Hey Colecovision enthusiasts! This time around I'm going to show the usual Honorable Mentions list (The Good), the Games To Avoid list (The Bad), and also some ugly things about the Colecovision (The Ugly). The Good is the list of games that I felt were at least decent for the Colecovision but just missed the top 20 cut. Then, The Bad is the list of games I suggest you avoid, and these can range from fairly blah or uninspired, or blatant ripoffs, to flat-out unplayable games and really poor ideas.. or games that you could just as well play in a newspaper section (the word search game Word Feud), are basically toys remade as games (like the Simon-like Brain Strainers or the slide puzzle game featuring Dr. Seuss characters) or are well-outdated old computer games that weren't great back then (like Artillery Duel). Then as a bonus, The Ugly details some unpleasant things about the Colecovision, like how badly the potentially great Adam failed, or how convoluted the Super Action Controllers are, how bad the sports games are for the Colecovision, and how bad the non-arcade ports are in general. Plus, why the hell isn't there an actual joystick on the regular controllers instead of a gaudy, stubby knob (insert dirty joke here)? And some of the games have really choppy scrolling or movement, for some reason. Games I didn't review or give a brief synopsis of fall into the "meh" or "so-so" category. A belated Happy Birthday to Charlie Cat/Anthony Durso of Atariage, and many thanks for his great NEO GEO thread and for the coupons he's sent me, as well as the cool NEO GEO sign I've got sitting on my 4-slot cabinet! Hopefully someday I'll get it working again and make a video showing it off. Well, I thank you for watching this series and I'll wrap it up soon with game #1! See you again soon, because your vision is OUR vision! Colecovision!
