Daniel is a kind of "Godfather" in the CV programming.
Possibly one with the most experience on a technical view.
He lives in Quebec, Canada.
And Daniel are indeed a permanent member of the AdamCon.
ColecoVision become his passion after he had worked with Vic 20 and other home-computers.

Daniel has an amazing ability to get ideas for creating games, and he is not in the way of helping others.
To illustrate that he would like to help others, you can see below on this label from Penguin Land.


This label is rare, and may not be available in over 20 copies.
It's made of Bienvenu for Steve Bégin for use with the Colecovision version in the first version from 2003.
To spread interest more, is agreed between Luc Miron from Team Pixelboy, François from CollectorVision and Steve Bégin
to compete release the game again, now with a new box and label design.


The newest from his hand is making music for the CV.
For example Michael Jackson, Theme from Ghostbusters and later Sabrina's "Boys boys boys".
But also in Daniel's own games he implements digital samples.
With the CV tools, he can do magic with his creativity.

Daniel have also done a personal software menu for a ColecoVision multicart project.
He have two prototypes left in his collection and used one of them to test his projects, and that is long before AtariMax USB 128:1 MultiCart ever came out.

Daniel make his own tools and programs for the CV.
Furthermore, Daniel is also adept at the early existing programs as others have long put behind them.

Marat Fayzullin was one of the first to program for ColecoVision, and Some of Marat's tools is very useful for Daniel.
Daniel put himself into things, and he like to find out how things can be solved.
He read a lot and wrote it for public use.

He have a very useful website, and are also a frequent user on YouTube.
Via YouTube can Daniel show what he means with all he wrote and came up with.
You can actually better understand what is meant in a given situation.

Some of Daniels first work is some tools, and games.
Daniel is that person which has made most games and applications for Colecovision ever.
Maybe over 50 games and many useful tools also for ColecoVision.

Daniel is a person that not go for games that are ported for the CV, Especially not games previously released for the MSX.
Daniel will like that the games are being done today must be original, but still be games as they themselves have invented.
Therefore you never seen a game from Daniel as you already know, DacMan excluded.
But you've got a position until you take a new one.
Sega's Space Harrier is seen from Daniel's hand, and several of Sega's SG 1000 projects is seen.

Many of those games Daniel has done is small and simple, and  anyone can play them without to be too difficult.
Daniel will gladly share with others, he happily publish the source code and release many times a ROM for download.

One of Daniels greatest game ever may be the Ghost Blaster release.
It came out in 2009 in a cartridge format, with box, label and a manual.
The cartridge was a special milky version with a transparent label.
The game is a kind of Ghostbuster game and the title song is indeed from the Ghostbuster game of the same name.
The difference here is that, Daniel himself wrote the song and gameplay note for note, and bit for bit.
Also conventions from more familiar numbers, including Michael Jackson and last Super Ghouls N 'Ghosts theme.
What a work he did here.

He receives also several query plans from homebrewers to deliver either a piece of code to their games, or help with music for their games.
Luc at Team pixelboy and Jean-Philippe alias Youki are just some of the users that daniel has helped with his music.
And those two games are: CV Boxxle and for Youki's Smurf CV game.
Also 3 melodies are done for the Venus Spa videogame project, which starts in September 2010.
