Back in the early 80’s, there were only so many video game systems to play with, but one unforgettable one was the Coleco Vision, which featured a number of games such as Donkey Kong, Buck Rogers and a number of others. Though the system isn’t around anymore, one certain company wants to bring it back.
Rantmedia Games has managed to secure the rights to the ColecoVision, as well as a number of its games, and has started a KickStarter program {link no longer active} in an effort to get the games brought to handheld devices and possibly consoles. The fund-raising program wants to raise $250,000 to bring the games to iPhone and other handheld devices, as well as “potentially other platforms.”
Once developed, the app would introduce “a faithful recreation of the original ColecoVision console,” as well as a number of its games, including Zaxxon, Ms. Space Fury, Montezuma’s Revenge and a number of others.
“We wouldn’t be pitching this if we weren’t supremely confident we could deliver big time on our vision,” reads the page’s “Risks” section. “We believe we’ve covered just about everything to nail this, from the design, development and delivery of the game to the logistics (and costs) of shipping the T-Shirts. We’ve got the rights and licenses already in place, and we’ve got track record of delivering this kind of thing successfully.”
