New Intellivision and Colecovision retro consoles coming in October!

No vent. With the Colecovision version I only had it for a week and barely played it. It just went out one day when I turned it on. All it had was color bars on the screen. I played the Intellivision constantly for about 4 months (sometimes up to two hrs in one sitting.) It ended up with the same problem. I took the colecovision a part and on the inside is just a small board, nothing looked loose so I tossed both units, just keeping the controllers.

The controllers are nice. Theres a adaptor for computers that I'll most likely end up getting. In the end it might be better anyways. I can play alot of the games that I was really missing on the flashbacks.

figured I would mention that toysRus has the Colecovision flashback units on clearance for 30$

I sure hope it's not common for these things to fizzle out the way mine did. The controllers that come with them are really great with a adaptor for the pc though.

Well that and the fact that the sound is not 100% correct. I had read the sound was a bit off and when playing I noticed it on some games. I also noticed that Squished Sam is missing the voice. It was one of the few games that featured digitized voice (he would yell Squishem and money money money, etc). PC emulators are still better but something about using this console I enjoy (ironic since I have an old modded xbox that has Coleco and a zillion other just about 100% correct emulation emus on there)
