CollectorVision is based in Canada.
Jean
do not make games himself, but outsourcing it to others.
He sets an order to make a given game from the previous MSX or Sega SG-1000 platform, which
then
ported back to ColecoVision.
But game developers are also contacts J-F to get their games published.
Moreover, he is also involved in the manufacturing of boxes and manuals to the many
games on the market.
He folds his own boxes, glue them and puts even the sticker on the game.
Also in 2012 will he be involved in making cartridge shells for
ColecoVision, he has made a mold to be used in the manufacture of
cartridges in all colors and transperent.
There will probably also involve sales of cartridges to third party.
So making
games is a hard work.
Jeans first work on ColecoVision was a
hacked version on Mouse trap he called Winky Trap.

Some (Maybe John D.) had in 1997 taken Winky from the Venture, and replaced it with the
Mouse in
Mouse trap.
All other characters was changed and taken from the game Venture.
The story is that only 5 games were produced and they all sold over 200$
each.
With the profits, decide Jean to start his own publishing label, namely,
CollectorVision.
CollectorVision was founded in 2008.
And his first game released under the CollectorVision was Mr. Chin.

Some of the games
released for ColecoVision via CollectorVision: Mr. Chin, Mario Brothers
and Penguin Land. |

Coleco Rod Hockey based on NES, and a nice
version of Mr. Do's Wild
ride.
Mr. Do's Wild Ride should be a joint-venture game between Jean and Luc Miron from
Team Pixelboy.
Latest news about Mr. Do's Wildride says Jess Ragan is the programmer for
the game.
Cooperation with Luc will possibly also include a later Bubble Bobble.
Both games above is long-term projects, and therefore there is no set time
limit yet.
Whether they still are together on these projects is unknown.
CollectorVision is also in closely cooperate with Dvik & Joyrex,
and they arrived those for ColecoVision:

François has also other plans, he has
designed a joystick to be able to stand on a table.
The picture below is a computer made prototype.

As you see, it have a Arcade joystick, 2 fire buttons and a keypad.
François would like to extend its joysticks to include a whole Colecovision
inside.
This will be a complete solution and a plug and play product.
This is not the final design.

This is the newest prototype from
CollectorVision showed in 2011.
It will pop up for sale around spring 2012.
But my guess would be a version without the numberpad and a ColecoVision inside.
François do also work on these two games
below.

Super Turbo Racing |
Legend Of Zelda. |
Those games are among many long-term
projects, and therefore there is no set time limit yet.
Probably for his own WaferCart, and whether they are optimized for the new Super Game Module or even CV 2 is
not known.
