Hi everyone!

You can check my Coliseum review here:

It was released by Topo Soft in 1988 abd there is a new remake of the game somewhere in the net actually (I never played the remake though).

Cheers!

    Coliseum is very unique and fun (for some time) game.

    However later it becomes practically impossible and stupid at the moments. You have a great weapon and you are attacked by a guy with a poor one. You can kill him in one second but then you'll get his weapon (why would somebody exchange his weapon for the worse one ???). So you end trying not to kill him and hoping that he'll crash himself. Very bizzarre.

    Is it possible to kill guys with superior weapons in later levels at all? I was trying to record the game, was using rollback extensively and had to give up.

    You can try to make him crash on purpose against the rocks or walls. You can attack him a little (being careful not to kill him) and try to push him against something. It only works sometimes but...

    Sure, the sword can kill the mallet, the mallet can kill the trident (the best weapon!) and the trident can sort of fill everything else, net and lance included.
