Intellivsion, Colecovision, Atari and More(MERGED with new INTV thread!)

Subroc (Lish Template)




..and UK version.



A nice sellotape tear had obliterated the 'S' and part of the top left hand ship(closer inspection will probably reveal this ). Lucky nearly all Coleco games have 1 or 2 players, multiple screens and 4 skill levels. Dont think i have ever had to change that!

Ladybug (U.K)



...and Ladybug (U.S.A)



Notice the scantily clad Ladybug on the cover, who bears no resemblance to the insect variety found in the game.
Another ripped up box that took ages to fix up...Soooo time consuming.

Front Line (U.K)



Front Line (U.S/Lish template)



Rear of the U.S version is a total work of fiction. No info/piccie of the orig box to be found. Info taken from the 2600 version. You can play this without the controllers...but you need about 10 fingers per hand to do so. And as  IMO, the standard Coleco controllers are the worst in the world, (aching hands after 2 mins !!!) it makes for a tough game.

All these covers are so great. Its made me want to go buy the systems.

Those are awesome covers, but can I ask why the NTSC Coleco covers have CBS Electronics on them? I don't think CBS were ever involved with the Colecovision in North America.

That particular design was started by Lish and was allready established so when i came along, i just stuck with it. Actual NTSC boxes normally just had shots of the arcade cabinet on the front, but the back is largely similar. I could alter it but at this point, its not worth it. I believe they were labelled as Australian versions to begin with too, which explains the CBS involvement.

Finally I made another Atari Jaguar cover:

I'd love to have more games for this console but there were so few really good ones that it's difficult to build a collection....

Anyway there you go....

Thanks for the flowers... It isn't my best work though....

As for the Jaguar... It's a real pity this console was extremly seldom used to it's full potential....

For me personally it's the most beautiful console in my collection especially with the Cd unit on top it looks like a spaceship.... The controller is real bad although....

Agreed with the controller  though if you want a real hard time, Coleco controllers take some beating !!

Yeah.. The Jaguar controller was voted as one of the Worst controllers ever made. Even worse, there is no 3rd party options.
