Coloring Book (Unreleased Cartridge) Bally Astrocade Cartridge Review This review is from the 1982 book "The Complete Guide to Conquering Video Games: How to Win Every Game in the Galaxy" by Jeff Rovin. Here is the text, as transcribed by Toby Wickwire: Object Using a light pen, players draw video images on their television. Far more sophisticated than even Scribble, Coloring Book offers the same kind of freehand drawing capability with much greater control of detail. The computer can be called upon to throw in perfect circles, squares, lines or other markings, or to clone the art anywhere else on the course. Furthermore, you can tone and shade the drawings with a remarkable 256-color palette. Using an inexpensive attachment artwork can be stored on an ordinary audio cassette and played back on the TV. Rating **** Coloring Book is typical of the new breed of non-games that is transferring pastimes previously limited to pencil-and-paper to the TV screen. Opponents of technology claim that this is needless development, that "old fashioned" coloring books work just fine for children. They do, and should continue to be used. However, programs like this one serve to take the "scare" out of computer technology for young people, helping to make second nature this medium, which will become increasingly important in their lives.
