This is a video filled with game footages of ColecoVision homebrew projects made by Scott Huggins. Recorded with BlueMSX 2.8.2 emulator.

Not all his projects are listed in the video, and not all these projects are available in cartridge format.

2003 : Phoenix ( not released )
2004 : Cavern Rescue ( not released )
2005 : Capture the Flag ( not released ), Astro Invaders ( released )
2006 : Spectar ( released )
2007 : Terra Attack ( released ), Beyond Terra ( unreleased, test project )
2008 : Frantic ( unreleasd )

Another unfinished project : Sprint, a top view racing cars game like the classic arcade game of the same name made by Atari in 1977.


And now, Scott Huggins talks about his ColecoVision projects...

Released:
* Astro Invader - The first, and my highest selling game (I am surprised).
* Spectar - a game you started and I completed. Second highest seller.
* Terra Attack - an all original game I completed in September, 2007. My personal favourite, but the worst seller.

Abandoned Projects:
* Cavern Rescue - Actually done, fully playable. Navigate through the caves until you see the prisoner you need to rescue. Return him to mother ship. Press Down to activate shields.
* Phoenix - My first attempt ever to program the CV. Gave up... but the Eagle wave is pretty good.
* Frantic - probably the best thing I ever did on the CV. Pixel to pixel collision detection. Many, many objects moving fast on screen at once. I wish I could finish it. 95% done.
* Beyond Terra - my thinking of trying a Galaga-style game. It's nothing more than an attract mode for now.
