ColecoVision: 15 Great Games 

My dad has a colecovision from his childhood which still kinda works. We played it once, which was really fun. I usually beat him at videogames but he could beat me at donkey kong and that one rocky boxing game like he was 16 again. Great memory!

I had one. It was the first system that introduced me to Nintendo characters and it was one of the few times Nintendo produced games for non Nintendo systems.

I bought one of these in either 82 or 83. You're right, Donkey Kong was an amazing pack-in. In fact it was the major reason I got the system in the first place.

The Colecovision still holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first system I ever owned, and I had a huge collection to boot. Sadly, I sold it when I was in middle school, so I could buy an NES, but it was so amazing while it lasted. It really was the system to beat at the time, as most of the ports blew the competition away, it wasn't even close. Even today when some play the system for the first time, they are always blown away by how great the games are when compared to the other consoles of the time.

Hi I live in Canada. When the Colecovision came out, they were so hard to get, I had to reserve one, the only one I could find from many stores called..I had to drive 85 miles to get mine. It was a stormy day and I'll never forget it. On the way back I ditched my car. Luckily there was no damage to the Colecovision or the car lol. We made it home, set it up and what a system. Still have it. Bought most of the attachments, the ball tracker, steering wheel, special joysticks, and the Atari 2600 adapter. Ladybug, Turbo, Pole Position, are all awsome games. There are so many great games for this console. I just wanted to share that with you. That's how I got mine. Lol gaming history!!!

I loved Carnival in the arcade but in recent years couldn't get it fully working on MAME, however I discovered this version for Colecovsion emulation and I agree, what a superb port of a really cool and fun arcade game! River Raid looks like it scrolls less smoothly than the original VCS version. Nearly went halves with a friend on Colecovision + Turbo. Zaxxon enthralled me, was amazed by it and it was so intriguing seeing various versions appear on consoles and home computers. ps nice to hear you mention Maria Whittaker... good lord....

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!

Played it on my friend’s machine, and was envious compared to my Atari 2600. I thought Smurf’s Revenge looked like the cartoon. Shame he didn’t have too many games. Haven’t played games in years and I am thinking of starting again. Playing ColecoVision will be top of my list.

My Fav Console Ever I Loved Mine

I was hoping to see Keystone Kapers, my favourite ColecoVision game.

Good to see Hero on this list. Absolute underrated classic. My mate had a Colecovision and we used to play Hero and Venture for hours. Hated that controller though.

Another fun video, thank you!

Only just seen this. Memories....got my coleco when it was at the end of its life, got the console, five games and the steeribg wheel/turbo game package all for £120 from Woolies. ( my mum originally got talked into buying a C16, when it first came out, in currys. It didnt work so ended up with a coleco instead) As for the adam that was going to be the personal computer add on for the console. 21:00

Mousetrap and Venture... My god, how I played those back at the day! They were and are, wonderful conversions! Colecovision was a wonderful machine. I bought it, as it got heavily discounted, but enjoyed it totally. Still have it, PSU is dead, though... I should buy a replacement some day...

Thanks

I Loved Bounty Bob

I played That for hours

I Need To Get 1

I still play the original hardwares of the Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️. And as i also play the original Atari 2600 and IntelliVision games on my PlayStation 2, it would be retrospectively awesome to give a try for the ColecoVision 😺👍🕹️. I mean, the ColecoVision games look and sound awesome - especially for the 1980's 😺👍🕹️.

I got the 2600 expansion module for celecovision- had the liquid quartz goggles for Zaxxon 3D. Time Pilot Cosmic Avenger QBert War Room Some that didn't make the list.

We always pronounced 2049er as twenty forty niner.

Does anyone know which game had a plane that had to go through a maze?

i would disagree with you about donkey kong playing like the arcade since all screens have modifications such as missing girders on the barrel and rivet levels and no "I-beams" on the elevator level along with the missing conveyor belt level

What are you playing that on
