They should have made it a cartridge. Then it would have worked on the regular Colecovision console. I thought the tapes don't hold any more data than the carts could. Or am I wrong? The good thing about tapes is you can have multiple and the game can load more as you progress. If it was just one tape though... probably could have been a cartridge ROM.

@@ChristmasEve777 The game requires more than the 1K of RAM a stock ColecoVision has, hence why it was only available on Adam. However, there are modern solutions to getting this running on a ColecoVision today without an Adam - you need an Atarimax cart and the game loaded onto an SD card, then either a Super Game Module or a RAM expansion board (... none of these would have been available back in the 80s.)

@@mikelitoris9610 Actually, the C64's VIC chip couldn't display as many colors in the same 8x8 square of video memory as the Adam appears to here. On the C64, you could only have ONE foreground and ONE background color per 8x8 (at 320x200) and you would only gain an extra two colors to be used throughout the screen if you sacrificed resolution and went down to 160x200. Of course, on the C64, you could use sprites to cheat a bit and gain more colors here and there.

A couple things... I always had trouble on the ropes stage. I can nevr get the timing right to catch any vine after the first one. Secondly, on the final stage, if you hide behind a pile of rocks until the whole pile is destroyed by Singe's fire, sometimes there are gems worth bonus points underneath.

@MSHYYC The main reason for the poor NES version was because it was reduced to a very basic platformer with terribly laggy controls. I blame the developers on that one. At least the developers on the Colecovision "port" had some ideas that worked out ok in a non-pre-rendered environment. One thing to note about the NES version is that the US release is about 50% slower than the Japanese version for some reason. I'd like to see the CV version ported to the NES.

@TheGameroomBlitz The ADAM was cursed by poor marketing and initial Q/A issues but is was technically quite innovative and advanced. It was actually a DUAL PROCESSOR machine (Z80 main processor and a 6801 processor for I/O). Each external peripheral had its own 6801 CPU as well (the floppy drive, detached keyboard and printer brought the system's CPU count to five). They all connected over a USB-like serial bus called ADAMNet (speed about 65kbps).

@TheGameroomBlitz Curious features about ADAM--since each peripheral was a little computer in itself (including the 6801 "MIOC" CPU in the console controlling the internal tape drives) the ADAM could multitask in a way--an aftermarket word processor allowed you to print your document and keep typing or save before waiting for the print to finish (most little 8-bits couldn't do that). Also games on disc and tape had little to no load times since they loaded while you played.

LOL. I had this game for my ADAM, along with about a hundred other games. It was the best gaming computer when it came out, but Coleco blew it with their marketing strategy when they decided to be the exclusive software maker for the machine. The ADAM had a lot of great ideas that were taken by other software makers, but it was the victim of poor mangement.

@yostoyou The reason the NES version sucked in comparison was that is was a ROM/cartridge based games system and the ADAM was a computer. The NES had better sound and graphics technical specs but a primitive CPU that processed at half the speed and it was equipped with less RAM. Also NES has no floppy or tape so a version as fancy as the ADAM version would need 3 cartridges to fit--or one VERY expensive one packed with extra ROM chips and bankswitching circuitry.
