Colecovision Homebrews

Buster Bros.

Buster Bros. (Homebrew)
Release Date: 2024
Genre: Action / Platformer
Players: 1–2

Description - This homebrew port brings Capcom's arcade classic Buster Bros. to the Colecovision. Players battle through single-screen stages armed with a harpoon gun, bursting giant bouncing bubbles into progressively smaller ones while avoiding contact. Power-ups such as rapid fire, double harpoons, and other weapon upgrades help players clear increasingly difficult stages filled with fast-moving bubbles and environmental obstacles.

Co-op Experience - Two players control the brothers simultaneously throughout the entire game. Players work together to split and eliminate bouncing bubbles, cover different areas of the screen, rescue each other from dangerous situations, and coordinate their attacks as the bubbles become faster and more numerous. Teamwork is essential, especially during the later stages where the screen quickly fills with hazards.

Mario Bros.

Mario Bros. (Homebrew)
Release Date: 2024
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1–2

Description - This homebrew release faithfully recreates Nintendo's 1983 arcade classic for the ColecoVision. Players take control of Mario and Luigi as they clear stages by flipping enemies onto their backs from below and then kicking them off the screen. As the game progresses, new enemy types, moving platforms, icy floors, and increasingly difficult hazards keep the action fast-paced while staying true to the original arcade experience.

Co-op Experience - Two players control Mario and Luigi simultaneously throughout the entire game. Players work together to stun enemies from below, finish them off before they recover, and coordinate their movements to keep the screen under control. While friendly collisions and accidental interference can create some chaotic moments, cooperation is the key to surviving the increasingly challenging waves of enemies.

Dungeon Plunder

Co-op Experience - Two players can explore the entire dungeon together in local co-op. Working as a team, players fight monsters, avoid traps, search for treasure, and help each other survive the increasingly dangerous areas of the dungeon, making cooperation the key to reaching the deepest chambers and escaping with the greatest rewards.
