Hi i tried pressing 1 or 2 and its still stuck on the opening screen.  Do you know why?

Does anyone know how to contact Neal Danner, the author of VColeco?  He is an old freind, and I'm trying to find him.  Please forward my email to him.

Thanks,

I would love to find the ColecoVision version of Zipper II.  Any chance it's available?

Generally you press 1 for a one player game and 2 for a two player game. More options are available depending on the game.

I have both of the files downloaded and unzipped.  After opening a cartridge and clicking on a game, the screen is stuck on the opening screen.  Is there something that we need to press to start the game?

Unfortunately you are correct. For some reason these two games will not load in the emulator.

Enjoy the other games, my favorite is Donkey Kong Jr.

I cannot get Tapper or Qbert to work. They will not load from the .rom file. WHY? This is the whole reason I downloaded it. Please help. Thanks

Frequently Asked Question

How to install and play Virtual Colecovision?

1) Download the two zip files (VColecoWin.zip and roms.zip) to your hard drive. The first file contains the executable game and the second file contains all the games.

2) Unzip both files into the same directory ( I recommend using c:\coleco ). If you do not have an unzip utility, I recommend installing Winzip. You can download a free evaluation copy of Winzip at

3) Once all the files are unzipped (extracted) into the same directory simply double click on VColeco.exe from Windows Explorer to open the program. Then choose File : Open Cartridge ROM from the menu and pick a game file (something.rom).

4) The program has menu options (Alt-P key) including speed and joystick options, but in general hit the 1 key to select a 1 player game and then use the arrow keys to move and the space bar as the button.

Have Fun
David
