At Games Colecovision, Intellivision, 2600 Flashbacks Pre-order

Yes, all audio in Pepper II is correct. Love those Exidy sounds. Terribly underrated game plagued with a stupid title - should have just called it Zipper like they originally intended.

Good to hear that it's fully intact. That's one of the real gems here, but I was worried that this and the main theme might end up being edited out due to obvious reasons.

If there's ever an Arcade Flashback, I hope the arcade version makes the cut (Along with Venture, Mouse Trap, and Hard Hat to name three other Exidy favorites).

Speaking of Mouse Trap, odd that it's absent here yet Venture and Pepper II are included.

Frenzy and Venture play fine but suffer a little due to the sketchy joysticks. The large dead zone (in relation to the stick throw) that develops after the joysticks are broken in, coupled with the very short stick throw, means that it's easy to roll into unintended directions.

Does controller #2 do anything in single player? If so, it might be worth rewiring an Atari Flashback joystick to keep plugged into port 2.

Most of my Colecovision time isn't spent with a real Colecovision controller, but rather, my favorite Atari 2600 compatible stick in the second controller port.

Edit: I have that backwards, I think. Haven't fired it up in a couple of years, but I think the workaround for many games requires plugging the Atari compatible stick into port 1, and using the keypad on the Coleco controller in port 2 to select your options.

It would be neat if this workaround still works with their emulator (I.e., if controller 2's keypad can be used to start a game in single player mode).
