guys you totally missed the mark with Tarzan; you need to climb and rescue Cheeta in the cage. you need to do the Tarzan yell by the cage. Same thing with the end screen, you'll figure it out when you get to it.
That Cabbage Patch Kids game is pretty damn impressive considering what you can do with it for the time it was released. That blew my mind how advanced it was.
Not if you look at the coleco hardware......Z80 CPU, Texas Instruments Video Chip, much more ram than the Atari 2600 or Intellivision. It’s an msx before msx.
Surprised you didn't try any of the buttons. The other trigger button lets you punch in Tarzan. So you can hit the hunter, open the monkey cage (He detects traps for you after you save him), punch gorillas, and actually play the game. You can jump on snakes/crocodiles to kill them, and you have to time your jumps to swing on the vines. Actually a really fun Colecovision game when you give it a chance.
Mike killed me in this one. The way he went "TSSSS" when pissing and how excited he was about there being a toilet and then sitting on it and going "PBBBBBT" (beside the word butt, too) made me smile so hard. He understands my level of humor perfectly.
craig thomas That's just one of those things that everyone knows about even if they're unaware of what it's originally from, like the "IT'S ALIVE!!!" line from Frankenstein.
that wasn't his expertise tho- he was really into the toho Godzilla films as a kid growing up, hence why he skipped power rangers as a kid- so yeah theres your answer
Space Panic is like a link between Heiankyo Alien and Lode Runner in evolution of video games. And Tarzan looks pretty amazing for its time: colored background, multiple screens, many colors on the screen at once and hero with different movements.
I find that funny. They don't know Olympian Johnny Weissmuller (the actor most associated with Tarzan), but they know the yell that he made famous. :-)
So I thought Space Panic was a Lode Runner clone, but the arcade version of Space Panic actually pre-dates Lode Runner (although the Coleco version came out the same year)
Johnny Weismuller was an Olympic swimmer before becoming Tarzan. There's an old hotel in San Diego that you can stay at that he used to train at called The Lafayette. It's pretty cool...check it out if you're ever down there.
I loved Microsoft 3D Movie Maker as a kid. I made so many movies with that, I wore the disc out, lol. I also liked Simpsons Cartoon Studio, but that didn't give you as much freedom.
The arcade game Mike is thinking of is Amidar, but Pepper II was an arcade game as well, it's not a Colecovision original. Pepper II was a lot rarer than Amidar (and the only home port it got was this one for the Colecovision), but considerably more involving, and is generally thought of as better.
Thanks guys, I just picked up a Colecovision a few weeks ago and Pepper 2 was one of the games it came with. Not a bad mashup of Qix and Pac-Man. Also, the Super Action Controller isn’t bad at all. Can you guys make a list of your top 10 Colecovision games please? Great show and always enjoy AVGN.
Do more . ColecoVision games ,where never covered by most of retro gamers on YT ... thinking they are in the same ball league as Atari 5200 , but as shown... they are more advanced and sprite based.
The Tarzan game was from 1984, not 1982 like Mike kept saying. So the game there were playing wasn’t based on the ‘81 Film, but was in fact based on the ‘84 Christopher Lambert movie that James mentioned.
That coloured COLECOVISION logo was a slap right in the childhood. Hit me hard, man. I had Space Panic & Pepper II, and they were both fun. Those and Buck Rogers were my favourites. We also had Donkey Kong Jr, but damn was it hard. In hindsight, I suspect it was because of the controller. The Smurfs also had a game like Cabbage Patch Kids that was almost identical. I think they used the same basic assets, but the house was a mushroom house.
Wow, surprised to hear about the old Tarzan movies on here, my dad used to rent them movies and I watched them and enjoyed them as a kid, still remembered the name Johnny Weismuller somehow
You mentioned Johnny Weissmuller. I'm related to him by marriage. He had a cousin named Adam who married my great grandmother. By the way, after Weissmuller, Buster Crab played Tarzan
The Atari 7800 joypad shown in this video is the standard 7800 controller for 7800 machines released in Europe, back in the day. Space Panic, a great port of a classic arcade game, Pepper II, another great game, it is a port of an old Exidy coin op. I guess you guys don't have the boxes for Space Panic, or Pepper Ii. The front image of lots of Colecovision boxes typically has a picture of the arcade cabinet for the game, with a prominent statement, in large, highlighted text stating how the game plays like the arcade game.
I love when they visit older systems, like the Colecovision and Intellivision. It feels like getting to witness a neat little bit of history not well explored.
YES! The Spider-Man make your own movie software was so good! I remember the Danish voices "Min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... "
I never played the Cabage Patch Kids paint game, but as a kid I had Smurf Workshop on Colecovision, which seems to be the exact same game but with Smurfs sprites. Great times with that ☺️
The record for the most film in a series with the same lead actor is held by Kwan Tak Hing who starred in the Wong Fei Hung series which ran for 115 movies.
Damn. Here I thought I was the only one thinking that. "Yo dawg, I heard you like houses, so we put a house in your house next to House M.D. stocked with copies of Animal House."
Wow Johnny Weissmuller in a video who would have thought I could drop my knowledge he was a gold medal swimmer and does some in a few of the Tarzan movie between that and the Three Stooges my dad ruined my brain....both worth watching for a laugh 😬
I think the Colecovision came with a Zilog Z-80 chip, the same CPU that a lot of the cabinet arcade games were using back then. Thanks for another classic review.
In the 80's, half of everything had the word "SPACE" in the title. It was done to seem futuristic, like "SUPER" or "2000" in 90's. Those all caps caught your attention, didn't they? That's called marketing, baby!
I had Space Panic and played it a lot as a kid. At higher levels you get different enemies that are not only faster but you also have make them fall through holes lined up on two or three levels or they won't die.
My coleco vision was modded at some point by a previous owner with a 3 way toggle switch that has a neutral setting or selects 1 or 2 player automatically then you can use an Atari or genisis compatible controller. It took me a while to figure out what the switch was for. If you need a keypad you can use a splitter and plug in the regular controller and one you like...but that only works well for games that don't use the number pad constantly.
If you'd like to be able to see my TMNT Mario Paint animation, a fan was nice enough to repost it here. Enjoy!

Cinemassacre cool
The space panic game is sort of a clone of lode runner, except theres no gold to collect
Cinemassacre Damn son that kicks ass
Holy shit, Mike. That's amazing.
guys you totally missed the mark with Tarzan; you need to climb and rescue Cheeta in the cage. you need to do the Tarzan yell by the cage. Same thing with the end screen, you'll figure it out when you get to it.
"I've heard of shapes, yes."
Kindergarten kid be like:
That Cabbage Patch Kids game is pretty damn impressive considering what you can do with it for the time it was released. That blew my mind how advanced it was.

Just climbin' ladders and diggin' holes for tomato guys. You know, space stuff.
"Put the toilet next to the Butt!"
You don't hear that everyday.
Also, 26:41 - Dat Mordecai and Rigby laugh.
You guys are lucky to have such a friendship
Well, I dont know about you guys, but watching Cabbage Patch characters take a digital dump was the highlight of my day...
"Cabbage Patch Kids is the same as Fortnite" - Mike Matei, 2018
When you two are eighty years old, I hope you're still making Coleco toilet videos.
omg James and Mike would be hillarious as grumpy old pensioners playing old games, take me to the future, I wanna watch that now!
I'm so proud of them.
@@Commander64 It will be like Grumpy Old Men, but with video games.
Too bad they stopped collaborating
"Butt Toilet" is the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
You guys know how to enjoy yourselves.
Coleco is a very underrated system.
🍻Cheers keep up the great work!
The guy that played Tarzan also knew how to Yodel and created that famous yell. I think they reused his version of the yell for other versions also
That Tarzan game had some pretty decent graphics for a home game in 83.
Keith Fulkerson I was thinking that
If they used the 2nd button to punch...it'll be better gaming!!!
26:43 that laugh is the laugh of a friendship that has lasted a lifetime.
Surprised you didn't try any of the buttons. The other trigger button lets you punch in Tarzan. So you can hit the hunter, open the monkey cage (He detects traps for you after you save him), punch gorillas, and actually play the game. You can jump on snakes/crocodiles to kill them, and you have to time your jumps to swing on the vines. Actually a really fun Colecovision game when you give it a chance.
Sounds pretty advanced for its time.
They didn’t expect the game being so advanced in gameplay.....
Top ten Colecovision games. NO. 1 Cabbage Patch Kids.
“I was showin’ ya how I wanna do it. And now I’m showin’ ya how I’m actually doin’ it.”
I feel like that basically describes life in a nutshell.
Johnny Weismuller, he was the one who crafted Tarzan's iconic yell. Also there was a Tarzan movie in 1984 called "Greystoke".
Mike killed me in this one. The way he went "TSSSS" when pissing and how excited he was about there being a toilet and then sitting on it and going "PBBBBBT" (beside the word butt, too) made me smile so hard. He understands my level of humor perfectly.
"Putt the toilet next to the butt"
These are adults, people! Lol
Art at it's finest @26:17
*its
I shouldn't find this funny at 38... but I do.
I loved their goofy chuckling as their characters walked towards the toilets
Yo dawg, I heard you like houses, so we put a house inside your house.
-Xibit
"Set the house on the table" is something that could only make sense being heard on _James & Mike Mondays._ ;)
Space Panic = Lode Runner
Space Panic is years older.
handsomebrick Yeah I saw that afterwards but I think that was what Mike was thinking to compare it to.
So frustrating as they keep trying to compare the game to Donkey Kong.
I also thought of Lode Runner
Nah, Hektik on C64
I feel like Mike was way too excited for the toilet. 😂
I'm surprised that James doesn't know about Tarzan films being that he is such a knowledgeable lover of films. Especially classic films.
i'm surprised Mike's claims he's never heard of Johnny Weissmuller then goes and does a Weissmuller yell
Yeah same goes for him.
craig thomas That's just one of those things that everyone knows about even if they're unaware of what it's originally from, like the "IT'S ALIVE!!!" line from Frankenstein.
that wasn't his expertise tho- he was really into the toho Godzilla films as a kid growing up, hence why he skipped power rangers as a kid- so yeah theres your answer
He is more in to sci-fi and horror movies.
We totally had "Trap-a-Zoid" back in the day, and it is exactly how you described it. We had it on our Tandy CoCo2.
Space Panic is like a link between Heiankyo Alien and Lode Runner in evolution of video games. And Tarzan looks pretty amazing for its time: colored background, multiple screens, many colors on the screen at once and hero with different movements.
that pepper 2 game is like "Qix" on rails meets "Pacman"
Or Amidar
Thats what I thought too
Exactly what I was thinking!
Wait, they don't know that the classic Tarzan yell is Weissmuller's?
That cabbage patch game stole the show. Simple mindless fun
"Why would you even go up there".
Goes up there.
Dies.
I find that funny. They don't know Olympian Johnny Weissmuller (the actor most associated with Tarzan), but they know the yell that he made famous. :-)
So I thought Space Panic was a Lode Runner clone, but the arcade version of Space Panic actually pre-dates Lode Runner (although the Coleco version came out the same year)
COLECO VISION is Revolutionary --> That's it! Great Console.
26:09 the sound of pure excitement
Some really great games for Coleco were Miners 2049er, Jumpman Junior and Gorf
I had Pepper II as a kid. Great game!
Johnny Weismuller was an Olympic swimmer before becoming Tarzan. There's an old hotel in San Diego that you can stay at that he used to train at called The Lafayette. It's pretty cool...check it out if you're ever down there.
I loved Microsoft 3D Movie Maker as a kid. I made so many movies with that, I wore the disc out, lol. I also liked Simpsons Cartoon Studio, but that didn't give you as much freedom.
What a fun episode! Had lots of fun watching this week. Lots of great games played...well except Tarzan, anyways 😉👾🤣
(harumph) well i thought TARZAN was fun...
Monroville hey that's cool! To each their own. Which game did you like the least this episode?
Monroville If I'm being honest Squish 'em Sam seemed like a bit of a mixed bag too.
Tarzan is super fun... they just didn't used the second button on the controller to punch !!!
The arcade game Mike is thinking of is Amidar, but Pepper II was an arcade game as well, it's not a Colecovision original. Pepper II was a lot rarer than Amidar (and the only home port it got was this one for the Colecovision), but considerably more involving, and is generally thought of as better.
Thanks guys, I just picked up a Colecovision a few weeks ago and Pepper 2 was one of the games it came with. Not a bad mashup of Qix and Pac-Man. Also, the Super Action Controller isn’t bad at all.

Never heared of Johnny Weismuller ? Come on guys, this was THE Tarzan, ex-swimmer, the one that made famous the shout.
lol *Mike was so excited when he started swinging* ! loving these ColecoVixion vids! never had one, but really wanna play on one!
Kind of shocked that a movie buff like James didn't know who Johnny Weissmuller is! 😳
That surprised me as well.
Yeah it's quite common for people to know about every actor from a hundred years ago
It is, for MOVIE BUFFS. Not just "people." Stop trying to be so edgy.
murder face um not a hundred years ago...
He doesn't know a lot about video games, so why should he know more about movies ? He probably hasn't heard of Peter Cushing either.
26:42 I love their giggling here

"put the toilet next to the butt! and I'm gonna go in the toilet!!!!" classic.
You mentioned Johnny Weissmuller. I'm related to him by marriage. He had a cousin named Adam who married my great grandmother. By the way, after Weissmuller, Buster Crab played Tarzan
Doesn't that make you just regular related to him. Distantly tho
So you're basically Tarzan's son, neat
Bringing back so many good memories of Q-Bert, Ladybug, Looping, Gorf, Mr. Do, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Zaxxon...
Loved James' reaction to Space Panic. Had fun watching Mike play it on the stream
The Atari 7800 joypad shown in this video is the standard 7800 controller for 7800 machines released in Europe, back in the day. Space Panic, a great port of a classic arcade game, Pepper II, another great game, it is a port of an old Exidy coin op. I guess you guys don't have the boxes for Space Panic, or Pepper Ii. The front image of lots of Colecovision boxes typically has a picture of the arcade cabinet for the game, with a prominent statement, in large, highlighted text stating how the game plays like the arcade game.
Looks like they tried to push the limits of the system with that Tarzan game!
Not really. Tarzan is compared to zaxxon or other coleco games technically not that impressive (static screen, not many objects on screen).
Oh! I'M SWINGING, I'M SWINGING!
*Together* aaAAAAaAAAAAAA!!
The part was so awesome and so funny they dragged the call out considering he swung for exactly one second 😂
I love when they visit older systems, like the Colecovision and Intellivision. It feels like getting to witness a neat little bit of history not well explored.
when i was a kid in school, we had that Trap-A-Zoid game (along with Odell woods/lake, carmen sandiego, etc) for the classroom computer.
I'm starting to thing James and Mike would really like Garry's Mod, seeing how much fun they had with Cabbage Patch Kids
James and Mike Mondays is the most entertaining content on UA-cam . Everyone should SMASH that sub button for @cinemassacre and @cinemassacreplays.
Loved the ending.
Qix is what you're thinking of, Mike
Collectorvision and Team Pixel Boy makes great Colecovision MSX ports and original homebrew games.
Holy nostalgia. I remember all of these from playing at my buddy's house.
That ladders in space part made me think of the whole space elevator concept
That turd looking cyclops character James whipped up in Cabbage patch kids killed me. Great video
I guess James and Mike are not familiar with Lode Runner.
Let's hear it for the Connecticut Leather Company!
YES! The Spider-Man make your own movie software was so good! I remember the Danish voices "Min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... min edderkoppesans dirrer... "
I never played the Cabage Patch Kids paint game, but as a kid I had Smurf Workshop on Colecovision, which seems to be the exact same game but with Smurfs sprites. Great times with that ☺️
Calmly talking....*Tarzan scream*...continues to calmly talk..love it
That thing coming down in the second screen of _Tarzan_ was the Dark Pixel Pixie -- they call him Color Cody, he's a relative of the Glitch Gremlin's.
ROFLING at the immaturity that was your Cabbage Patch Kids game review.
You guys are having way too much fun with that cabbage patch game
The Cabbage Patch Kids section is the funniest thing I have watched in a long time! Thanks James and Mike
15:01 I'm pretty sure Mike means Amidar.
I had it for Atari
The record for the most film in a series with the same lead actor is held by Kwan Tak Hing who starred in the Wong Fei Hung series which ran for 115 movies.
ColecoVision, this is gonna be a fun afternoon.
give us a part 3!
We heard you like living so we put a house in your house so you could live where you live.
Is this 2007 again?
2009 actually. And here's a 1997 emoticon as an added feature. :-)
I live inside
Damn. Here I thought I was the only one thinking that. "Yo dawg, I heard you like houses, so we put a house in your house next to House M.D. stocked with copies of Animal House."
Johnny Weissmuller did the best tarzan call ever:D but he also got mad at the end he thought he was really tarzan
pepper 2 looks like that amazing penguin game that Mike played. Even highlights the areas you’ve completed
Wow Johnny Weissmuller in a video who would have thought I could drop my knowledge he was a gold medal swimmer and does some in a few of the Tarzan movie between that and the Three Stooges my dad ruined my brain....both worth watching for a laugh 😬
James talking about movies is everything
I think the Colecovision came with a Zilog Z-80 chip, the same CPU that a lot of the cabinet arcade games were using back then. Thanks for another classic review.
Got all the old Tarzan movies on VHS grew up with them there great.
I really like the graphics on the CV ^_^
That prediction of what Space Panic would be is like something out of the Action 52 review
Space Panic reminded me of a game I fondly remembered; Heiankyo Alien. It's a similar premise in that you dig holes and bury aliens alive.
I hope James never stops making videos.
In the 80's, half of everything had the word "SPACE" in the title. It was done to seem futuristic, like "SUPER" or "2000" in 90's.
Those all caps caught your attention, didn't they? That's called marketing, baby!
I had Space Panic and played it a lot as a kid. At higher levels you get different enemies that are not only faster but you also have make them fall through holes lined up on two or three levels or they won't die.
Woah pepper 2, that’s a game I totally forgot about haha good times at the neighbors houses!
I love my Colecovision!
Did not expect to see James and Mike shitting on toilets in a Colecovision game today. But here we are.
My coleco vision was modded at some point by a previous owner with a 3 way toggle switch that has a neutral setting or selects 1 or 2 player automatically then you can use an Atari or genisis compatible controller. It took me a while to figure out what the switch was for. If you need a keypad you can use a splitter and plug in the regular controller and one you like...but that only works well for games that don't use the number pad constantly.
Pepper II is a great game
Seriously James? You really don't know Johnny Weissmüller? I mean, this guy is a legend!
"Space Panic" is the ColecoVision port of a game from the Apple II called "Apple Panic". The enemies are apples.
