http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/10/rantmedia-colecovision_620x340.jpgRantmedia Games has a knack for rekindling childhood gaming memories -- see its uncannily accurate Vectrex Regeneration (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/03/vectrex-regeneration-for-ios-recreates-the-vector-based-console/) as proof. We're glad to hear, then, that the developer wants to revive our nostalgia once more with its upcoming ColecoVision app (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rantmediagames/1545944953?token=eb0a85f6). The crowdfunded project has all the necessary licensing to recreate both Coleco's system (http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/mini-colecovision-hits-ebay-finds-a-special-place-in-our-hearts/) and 20-plus classic games, promising as authentic a Zaxxon experience as you'll get without the hardware in hand. Rantmedia also hopes to foster a competitive streak with leaderboards, achievements and player challenges. Should the company reach its $250,000 funding goal, it expects to release an iOS version of the software by March. The firm also wants to target Android, the PlayStation Vita and desktops, although additional OS support will depend on feedback. Whatever platforms the ColecoVision app supports, it's clear that anyone with a soft spot for Choplifter will want to chip in $10 or more at the source link.
