Hilariously enough I stumbled upon a copy of Turbo in the wild today... and bought it. Steering wheel be damned!

Also picked up for the ColecoVision: Lady Bug, Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle, Super Action Football, and Time Pilot. And for the 2600: Kung-Fu Master, Laser Blast, and Super Cobra.

Retro game hunting isn't easy in Maine, so I'm pretty excited overall.

Dude, play the crap out of Lady Bug. It's one of the best Pac Man style games out there, IMO.

[BoneSnapDeez]

It is pretty neat.

I like the old Universal games. Mr. Do! is awesome too.

[Gunstar Green]

One of the neatest things about ColecoVision is it got a lot of the arcade licenses that Atari passed over so you get a lot of interesting stuff from Universal, Exidy, Sega and others.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Exidy trolled us all with Pepper II.

[ExedExes]

Pepper II is good. No hate. I like how fast paced it is.

Nice stuff for 2600 there. Super Cobra is a decent port. But as I look at Kung Fu Master through my 1988 OMG HOW COOL IS THIS glasses, I can't even begin to understand how much I loved that game back in the day and then realize the control is really stiff.

Question 2. Crazy Climber - y u so expensive?

I am guessing you mean the 2600 version. It shows a rarity of 8 at Atari Age. I looked at the manual there and apparently the game works with one joystick up down emulating the Arcade Twinstick somewhat.

Crazy Climber is an obscure console title, officially released on only a few systems. There are a couple of Japan PS1 versions and on the Super Famicom under the name Nichibutsu Arcade Classics.

Super Famicom under the name Nichibutsu Arcade Classics.

Yeah I'm just gonna get that instead. Price is much more agreeable.

Played a little Kung-Fu Master (2600) last night. Not bad. I thought I also owned it on NES but I was apparently thinking of Karate Champ.

Ithought I also owned it on NES but I was apparently thinking of Karate Champ.

You should remedy that by picking up Kung Fu. Along with Kid Icarus, Metroid, Super Mario Bros., and Wrecking Crew, it is one of my favorite of the NES "pixel art" games. It controls wonderfully, and it is still a blast. (It is also way, way better than the 2600 and 7800 ports. )

Oh I don't doubt that.

Just realized I also own it on the good ol' C64. Don't think I've played that version other than a few minutes of testing.
