rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author StarSoldier1 - COLECOVISION (1982-1984) Coleco was well known back in the early 80's for some of it's famous toys like the Cabbage Patch Kids and other stuff like that but some people also remember their very own game system: The ColecoVision! The...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author trillig - Mind you I only got my first Colecovision 2 months ago.

I was expecting this to become one of my primary systems.

I was disappointed.

Cons:

Most of the games have a 10 seconds or so delay before you select number of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I was the coolest 6-year-old on the block. A few of my friends had Atari 2600 consoles. A few others had the now forgotten Mattel Intellivision. I however had the uber-cool ColecoVision to call my own.

I remember the day I got it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author devila - I still remember going to our local video game retailer, back in the early 80's. That's when Colecvision and Ataris were the "in" thing. Just walking around in shock because of all the cool new games they had. It was like playing a cartoon and it was...

Colecovision: Eats Atari 2600 For Breakfast

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author clburdette - I present to you an in-depth look at the game machine that finally crushed the venerable Atari 2600 in 1982 and 1983. Yes, the ColecoVision was so hot during these two years that it outsold even the mighty Atari. Unfortunately it was then devoured by the...

Colecovision: An oldie, but a goody!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joculator - Think back to the early 80's. Reagan's in office, punk music and break dancing is the rave, and competition for the atari 2600......COLECOVISION! For the same creators of Cabbage Patch Kids comes one of the best home game systems EVER! With an...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tdswift89 - I'll never forget the first time I saw the commercial for Colecovision on TV. I couldn't believe my eyes, the graphics were so good it was like you were actually bringing the arcade machine home with you. I was staying with my cousin that summer, and...

Colecovision: I spent the night just so I could play their Coleco.

Fri, 10 Nov 2000 16:24:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author game_monkey - Growing up in the 70's, we didn't have all the fancy shmancy Voodoo this or 1 giga-that. We had these cruddy little console systems that were almost all impossible to play. The controllers for ninety percent of the consoles that came out between '75 -...

Colecovision: The Connecticut Leather Company and me.

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 03:10:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KickMe - In 1982 Coleco, the Connecticut Leather Company, released my favorite classic game console of all time, the Colecovision.

I was ten years old, and my family had owned an Atari 2600 for two years. While I still enjoyed the 2600's big blocky graphics,...

Fri, 22 Sep 2000 17:11:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aindovin - This system was highly successful at the time, and I loved it as a kid. I thought the graphics were great and games awsome. If you play it today though, you realize that only a few games looked really good, and there was alot of bad games that came...

Colecovision: The Game That Killed Atari

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 15:01:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tkerodd - Back in the early 1980's, a measuring stick for how great you were was your video game system (at least in my neighborhood). Everyone had an Atari 2600, and a few people had an Intellivision. The Intellivision had good graphics, but boring games that...

Colecovision: Colecovision: We will not beat Atari We will Assimulate Them

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author firebird1 - After the Odyssey 2 my parents bought a Colecovision. I thought it was the coolest and still think it is pretty neat or I would not have bothered to emulate it on my new computer.

The advantages of the Colecovision over the standard Atari...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MDragon53 - Its a 500lb Game in a 5lb box!!!

Oh the 80's. Aside from the tight pants and leather jackets, we had Arcade games! What kid didn't spend all his time and quarters, plastered to Mario Bros. or Donkey Kong in the corner of...

Colecovision: A great machine marred by horrible controllers

Thu, 24 Aug 2000 00:27:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - I still have my little brother's old Colecovision that he got right before the famed "video game crash" of 1984. This system was the most advanced of its time -- great graphics, wonderful sound, expandability and more. However, it also came...

Colecovision: The Evolution of console gaming: Chapter 2

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 20:18:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fm_hunter - Oh baby! I just stumbled across this category and I am stoked! Like many people who grew up in the 1980's, video games, and the invasion of home console units mesmerized me. I was like a pint-sized addict in the throes of withdrawal whenever I passed...

Colecovision: What's up with the Phone Controllers?

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 16:08:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Alkaiser - I remember the first time I saw this machine. My Uncle Louis bought it, and we were all stoked about playing with it. He had 2 games, Donkey Kong and Zaxxon. So we played those for a while, and eventually we inherited the machine for ourselves.
