Q: Unreleased ColecoVision games

[jhd7]

While browsing the screenshot gallery here at DP, I came across CV images with these names:

Le Chateau du Dragon
DP Valentine
Dracula
Happy Halloween
Matt Patrol
Multicart
Number Bumper

Are these emu games, or are they available on cart? If carted, where can I buy/trade for them?

Thanks,

Jeff D

Number Bumper prototype was found by Ianoid this year IIRC. For the rest, I don't know.

Le Chateau du Dragon
DP Valentine
Happy Halloween

All Daniel Bienvenu creations. Call them "homebrews" if you'd like. Happy Halloween has become Jeepers Creepers. I don't think Le Chateau was ever completed (a text RPG in French), DP Valentine was a one-shot we used here for a contest or something. You can contact Daniel for more info, his handle here is "newcoleco".


Dracula

The screenshot that taunted ColecoVision owners back in the day, it was run in Electronic Games magazine. Never released, though there is a Dracula game by Imagic that's a lot of fun... just doesn't look anything like this mock-up.


Matt Patrol

Matt Householder worked on the ColecoVision version of Moon Patrol. This was a prototype version dumped a long time ago, never officially released on cartridge.


Multicart

Sean Kelly's multi-cart had pretty much all of the ColecoVision games on them. Unfortunately Sean got a cease & desist and stopped producing them about two years ago.


Number Bumper

Prototype discovered by Ian "ianoid" in early 2003, the game was dumped and offered here first during CGE 2003.

Matt Patrol. ADAM's House was selling copies several years ago (I don't know if they still do). I have a cartridge copy in my collection, so they do exist. If ADAM's House is still selling them, then you can get a copy.

"Number Bumper" is called "Amazing Bumpman" by the same people, and Telegames. It's been around for some years under that name. It, too, is available on cartridge from them.
