Robert is a person who has implemented
programming of Frog Feast for our CV.
He also work on another great game "Pacific Fleet" sometimes.

Frog Feast for ColecoVision.
The game itself is derived from other
related games.
Frog Feast was out for Atari Jaguar, a fine CD version from Charles at
Rastersoft.
Also for Amiga CD 32, Sega Dreamcast and least 8 more systems.
Robert has his permission from the developer Rastorsoft to create a
version for ColecoVision.
Open source, so no problem at all.
Robert will try to make the game deeper,
and maybe add more levels.
If he finish the game, he will give AtariAge his license, and leaving them
for the
release of the game.
If AtariAge not will help him, he will instead deliver the game back to
Rastorsoft.
And then it's up to Charles if he will publish it in a cartridge.
Robert has until now made 2 versions of the
Frog Feast.
An
Open Source and a Commercial one.
The Open Source version is free to Download.

Pacific Fleet for ColecoVision.
The game may seem like Battleship, in that
you place 4 ships, and so does the 2nd player, or the computer in 1 player
mode.
But, it is a real time strategy game, with several different missions,
land that gets in the way, time element aso.
You have 5 points to purchase your armada.
1 point buys you a PT boat.
2 point is the cost of a Sub.
3 points for a Sattleship.
and 4 points for an Aircraft carrier.
You can, therefore, have a 5 "PT boat" navy if you want. Or 1 sub and 1
battleship navy. etc... whatever you want with your 5 points.
the PT boat, takes 2 squares, and sinks with 1 hit.
the Sub takes 2 squares and sinks with 2 hits.
Battleship 3 squares and sinks with 3 hits.
Aircraft carrier, 4 squares and 4 hits to sink.
They have different weapons.
PT boat, can only fire a precision Mortar round i.e. the classic 1 square
shot of Battleship, the Sub can only fire a Torpedo.
The Battleship can fire precision Mortar round or launch a Sonar (reveal 9
squares at once).
The Aircraft carrier can fire precision Mortar round or launch a Carpet
bombing strike. (Hit 9 squares at once, that are roughly in the area you
asked, but its also partly random).
Finally, each mission takes differing amounts of times. The Sub cannot
rapid fire Torpedos, after firing one.
Torpedo's are not available again for 30 seconds etc.
If you lose a ship, you lose its capabilities too.
And so on, and tweaking to make sure everything is playable, feels like
strategy and fun.
