ColecoVision



"The arcade quality video game system."

This early console was much beloved for its bright pastel graphics, almost-perfect arcade ports, and optional adapter that allowed you to play Atari 2600 games. For comparison, that would be like Nintendo releasing an adapter that allowed you to play Xbox games on the Wii. You'd think something like that would be illegal, and as it turned out, it was. But anywho, the ColecoVision had a decent library, some games of which are listed below.

In fall 2014, AtGames Digital Media released a plug-and-play console they deemed the ColecoVision Flashback. The Flashback contains an ARM chip that emulates 48 games licensed from Coleco Holdings and 12 homebrew titles. (A special edition of the Flashback, exclusive to the American chain Dollar General, includes Antarctic Adventure as its 61st title.) Due to licensing issues, not all of the system's core titles made it onto the Flashback; did anyone believe Nintendo would allow Donkey Kong on another console these days? Indeed, only a subset of the games in the below list are included in AtGames' release.
