Nicolas Campion is 37 and live in Vichy,
France.
Colecovision was his first experience with videogame.
Nicolas was 4 when he discovered the world with Donkey Kong.
Nicolas saw some people programming new games for old systems, this
activity gave him motivation to create his own games.
Nicolas discovered that Mario Brothers conversion has been programmed in C
language, so he decided to take an interest about Colecovision programming.

Nicolas first program was Robobug. It's
more an interactive demo than a game. |
Nicolas decided to start with a cheap
program in order to learn the basic concepts of programming, and use of
graphics and sound tools created by Daniel Bienvenu.
 |
 |
 |
|
Nicolas first serious project is Bugs 'n Bots, a platformer game. |
Originally, this game should be a conversion from the Spectrum of Chuckie
Egg, a game created by AnF Software.
However, behind some points and after
noticed many games for this console are conversions of MSX games, decide
Nicolas to keep the gameplay and add his own ideas.
This game was the
opportunity to discover Colecovision's capacities and limits, and imagine
new and advanced programming hints.
Bugs'N Bots was available via Collectorvision in December 2012.

Nicolas's second game, PV2000. |
PV2000 is only a game for fun: this a conversion of an
unknown game available for Thomson, a French computer.
Nicolas programmed this
game because synopsis game made him laugh: you guide a policeman round in order
to give fines to cars and avoid others cars which try to run over him.
Moreover, when Nicolas played it, he discovered that the game programming was
very simple.
So it took him only one week to port it, especially as he had not need to
use sprites.
Mindwalls
is a breakout clone
inspired by Arkanoid.
Mindwalls was released in cartridge
format via CollectorVision Games in 2013.
