I'd like to complete my Official Dreamcast Magazine collection. I'm not too concerned with collecting the demo discs, but would like to eventually own all 12 issues. Such a great magazine, with beautiful layouts in each issue. I already have 6 of them (#2 - #6, and #12); almost won a copy of the decently rare 1st issue... but was sadly outbidden. I'm still ticked about that one. :x
I'm pretty sure I have a complete set, but none are for sale :-p

I'm surprised nobody has answered this for you yet.

The answer is, at least for the Coleco... yes, you can! I just tried it a few weeks ago. I would suspect that it would work on the Intellivision as well, but I have never tried it myself.

Thanks! This makes it even better. I was worried about using those remote control-styled controllers.

AFAIK, only the Intellivision II has detachable controllers. You should be able to plug in a Genesis controller but it most likely wouldn't work. Pretty much every Intv game I've played uses most, if not all, the buttons.

Plus the controller is 16 directions.

That issue is pretty cool. I really like the fighting game article, and the Cool Cool Toon preview.

1. Finish the Game Boy color variant collection (~5 left to go!)
2. Replace all Genesis/64/Super cart only games with CIB
3. Saturn/SCD/Essentials, before they become more expensive...
4. SNES/PS1 RPGs
5. N64 console color variations with matching controller sets, as well as all other controller color variations
6. Get the following systems: 5200, Coleco, Intellivision, Master System, Power Base Converter, NES-001, Saturn Model 1, Genesis Model 3
7. Complete collections for 32x, SCD, Saturn, 7800, Dreamcast

I've got a lot of stuff to keep me busy lol. This is ordered in terms of priority though.

Super Nintendo. I can only wish I had anything turbo-grafx related.
