As i allready said, i hate the Coleco controllers big time. The INTV disc is ok for sports stuff, but Arcade style gaming is a bit of a chore with it, especially when the contacts start wearing. And anyone who used the 3DO pad for Samsho or Street Fighter would probably want to put that in the mix somewhere. As for the Jag pad...it aint great. Kasumi Ninja anybody?  ;)

Amidar



Front made from a cart label scan(i dont have the box) and a net one cobbled together. The little gorilla piccie on the back and spine came from the front scan too cos' all the ones i could find were crap quality. Had to paint out all the other stuff and paint in his ear/ sides of his face,then straighten him up and change his eyes so he looks out instead of down at the warrior. So if anyone has the orig box and wonders why he does'nt look the same...that's why. :) Oh for a good scan of Polaris.....

Back in the day when I first got my 3DO I also got an adapter that would let me use my SNES controller on it. SSF2T played awesome with them (back in the day).  But yeah.. your right... The 3DO controller is not that great, specially the Goldstar one.
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

I think i still have a SNES pad adapter but it no longer works, something i was going to take a look at one day. If i remember correctly, the PAL 3DO Samsho manual mentions a controller mod for the Panasonic pad by which you loosen the screws on the thumbpad side, prize the halves apart slightly and wedge a piece of paper in there. I seem to remember trying that and it helped a little. Not sure if the U.S manual condoned doing the same thing though.

Q*bert



After some quite nicely designed(and uniform) box rears for INTV/2600, for the Colecovision they came up with this. Still, thats the way it is so...

Hey, I was just wondering if any of you knew if the Masters of the Universe: The Power of He-Man game for the 2600 had any more of a cart label than the one on top that says it's name. Mine doesn't but it just seems kind of blank that way, although it is an insanely odd shaped cart compared to the rest of my 2600 collection.  ???

If Atariage is right, its a Mattel cart for 2600 and in that case will be shaped like an INTV cartridge. And if that is the case, then it will have just a label with the name on the top in white or black. Check out Atariage and see if it matches :

Donkey Kong



....and another from the request list. Coloured differently to the similar case for INTV. As i spent ages fixing up the front from a crap scan i may well get some extra mileage from it and use it for a UK Coleco Donkey Kong cover.

Donkey Kong (U.K)



I have a distinct lack of time lately, squeezed this out cos' it was easy(ish). A complete work of fiction made just because i had done U.K versions of most of the other Colecovision games AND because i had worked on the scan for the 2600 version. :)

The last 10 days have been manic busy for me. I hope to get some cover stuff done this week though.
