Rip Cord


This daring sky diving game puts you in charge of a parachutist. You’ve got to time his jump out of a high altitude plane, and allow him to free fall as long as you dare. Then, pull his rip cord, and get him to land exactly on one of the targets. But watch out - the sky is full of dangerous helicopters. The sky diver must avoid them to survive!

TRIVIA


Former vaporware

Even if Rip Cord was shown in the catalog that came with the ColecoVision, it has never been published before.

The ColecoVision's box itself bears several examples of games that have never made it to the market.

It is not known if the screenshots shown were simple artist renditions, or if somewhere an actual demo or prototype of the cartridges exist.

Russel Kumro took inspiration from the illustration screen of Coleco’s catalog to finally program the game.
