How to Open and Clean a ColecoVision

I made another instructable this week: How to Open and Clean a ColecoVision.

Video games have moved, again, to the back-burner. But I am working on some video game-related projects, including an instructable for adding video-out to a ColecoVision. Also working on adding VGA-out to a Dreamcast. There are already instructables for that, though.

I did pick up a few games recently, including Video Olympics (AKA Pong for Atari), Montezuma’s Revenge (for ColecoVision) and Psychonauts (for PS2). Also a Sega 32x. Which is just silly.

Aaand the pendulum has swung the other way. I was playing a lot of Oblivion and Assassin’s Creed III. Then I had an interesting month that put all that on the back burner.

That said, I’ve done a few things. I’ve posted several game-related instructions to instructables.com:

That’s been fun, and I have a half-dozen or so ideas for new ones, most of which are video game related.

The Atari joystick one was particularly fun — I really don’t like the standard Atari joysticks. Even if you can find one in pristine condition (good luck with that), they’re just not good joysticks. I will definitely be using my custom joystick for any Atari game sessions.
