Posted on Feb 06, 2009 under games |
Part 1 of 2. Classic Game Room HD Hardware Review, Watch in High Definition! CGRHD reviews the ColecoVision from Coleco released in 1982. The Colecovision was an amazing game console (and still is) with a catalog of more than 125 video games release between 1982 and 1984. It rivals the NES in many ways and certainly handed the Atari 2600 its own with superior arcade conversions and action packed old school video games. For retro gamers today the Colecovision is stil highly enjoyable to play because of the quality of the video games available on it. Coleco didn’t mess around, sure it’s ugly, but it’s awesome! Originallyt the Colecovision came packaged with Nintendo’s Donkey Kong if you can believe that… Classic Game Room reviews old school and retro video game hardware, systems, controllers and consoles. CGR is the retro reviewer to watch if you want to see these old game systems in full HD video with technical discussion and hardware craftsmanship.

Its a nice system but its hard to find a good working unit. Wonky power supplies, fragile joystick ports, and a finiky cart port and carts.

Well if you don’t care about online gaming like me, there’s realy nothing for the 360 to offer.

I dont know, …
I dont know, considering the NES took about 15 years to reach the 60 million mark, and that the Wii took only two years to reach 45 million, I think the Wii will beat it in the next few years, and may be the console to beat the Playstation(s) once the price drops and a larger surplus of hardware comes about.

Satellaview was a Japan-only feature. Unless you’re Japanese and 20+ years old (today), you never really had the opportunuty to play it.

Sounds like an atari 7800 with Proline controller to me. (they also later introduced a Sega/Nintendo like game pad)

The expansion slot also lets you hook your ColecoVision to Coleco’s ADAM computer.

PC w/ modem beats all yall.
But for game consoles, I’ve read about an online service that was on the Intellivision. Might not count because I think that was just to download games, not to play against other people.
Don’t have first hand knowledge of it though.

Never owned one, but from seeing pictures this is indeed a great looking console. I rank it with the original Genesis/Sega-CD combo (the front loading monster, not the revised cheaper one).

Actually sorry, the SNES had online gaming with the Xband.
I’ve never used that (though I’ve played on the Sega Channel for the Genesis). People always forget about Xband,

Don’t call me a dumbass dude, I misunderstood and now you’re overreacting. All xbox did was bring a lot of people together if they overpayed for something that should be free.

Man, I sill think Coleco Vision is this best system of all time. With the 2600 adapter, The roller controller, Turbo with the driving wheel. Way ahead of it’s time!

I never said that the 360 was the first with online gaming dumbass. The 360 has however brought great features to the table. We would not be better off without the 360.

Without the NES, Colecovision would have probably been the last console.
