ColecoVision prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A Spectravideo title about which little is documented, so treat it as a collector's checklist item.

Flipper Slipper reached the ColecoVision in 1984 from Spectravideo, and the library notes it first appeared on a computer. No period review, preview or developer credit turned up for the ColecoVision cartridge, so there is no honest way to describe how it plays or looks against the original.

What can be said is about the market: loose copies are inexpensive, while a boxed copy is priced far higher.

Worth knowing

From the ColecoVision manual. You start with five balls; the flippers can be moved and tilted, and the dam at the bottom bursts and floods the field when the last ball is lost.
From the ColecoVision manual. At 10,000 points the floating beach house turns into a moving bumper that deflects the ball.
From the ColecoVision manual. Pinball Wizard is the top ranking, awarded at 100,000 points or more.

Before you buy

Plays on the standard ColecoVision controller; no overlay or special controller is documented. The gap between loose and boxed prices is wide, so what you are paying for is the box and manual: ask for clear photos of both and for confirmation that the box is the ColecoVision edition. Test the cartridge before paying a complete-copy price.
