Well I remember the Colecovision I was 12 back then and it was great! I sure played a lot of Venture and Dk but my friend I got Smurfs at Christmas when it came out and sorry to say but it was truly awful! I hated it just walking and jumping and nothing else boy it sucked! For the rest well yep all good games for sure! Anyway nice presentation thank you !

Loved my ColecoVision as a kid! I agree with the comments for Mr. Do! But noboby mentioned one of my absolute faves, Looping. First game I remember with flightstick controls. To this day my camera is Y inverted on all games. Haven't talked to many who set their controller like I do. Really enjoyed the list. NOSTALGIA!!! 😊

The best game on the system was Turbo with the driving module….. that experience cannot be emulated.

Dukes of hazard is awesome. Could be the 1rst cockpit view racing car...

Two things. 1. Jumpman Jr. is my number 1. 2. The pitcher is a leftie 🙂. Thanks for the video.

Here’s one for you for an honorable mention. It does not get a lot of love because of the title but it’s a hell of a fun game. Cabbage patch kid. It plays a lot like a pitfall game.

I'm not sure how you didn't have Montezuma's Revenge on this list. That is easily in the top 5 games for Colecovision.

I LOVE this console! I have fond memories of these games and they are probably the reason why my eyesight is not what it used to be 😁. My personal favorite was Mr Do. I used to play that for hours and hours. Most people don't realize that the actual purpose of the game is to collect diamonds out of the apples. You have to break them all open and the diamond will appear in the last one you drop if there is one in the level. They're worth big points. I remember wandering through Princess Auto, which is the canadian version of Harbour Freight, sometime in the early 90s and seeing boxes full of surplus controllers for these consoles! They wanted $8 cad a piece for them! I wish I had the money to buy those up as they are prone to damage on the joystick but I was unfortunately just a little kid with a little kid budget. My grandfather was a radio engineer and electronics buff who kept those controllers working for much longer than they probably should have worked! He'd cringe every time someone got excited and moved the joystick a little too enthusiastically 🤣. Fun Times. Thanks for giving this amazing and underrated console the love it deserves!!!!

Very nice list. Was thrilled to see gems like Wing War and Dukes up there. Also Smurf. I too hated the Smurfs, but loved the game. To this day the ColecoVision is still my favorite system of all time. It was so ahead of it's time. I loved Rocky as well. My mom was a huge Mr. Do! fan and actually wore a system out and had to buy us a new one! lol

Geat Konsole at the time...should have launched earlier...blown away by Video Game crash

Let's go! Smurf in the Top 3 and VENTURE IS AMAZING! Love this list SO much

I had the atari 5200 and a Colecovision and I really liked the 5200 mainly the 5200 could handle more sprites on the screen which is why the ColecoVision you had characters on the same scan line had a lot of flicker. Also the color pallet of the ColecoVision was limited and the colors seemed very washed out as the logs in Frogger where almost pink. The sounds were not as good as the 5200. What amazed that Donkey Kong was the pack in game for the ColecoVision and it did not have all the screens of the arcade. I am glad you loved the ColecoVision it was a very good game system. As I am 72 years old I had the ability to have a lot of game systems. I liked them all. I had the ability to compare them side by side. The only reason I even commented was because of your claims of the arcade accuracy of the ColecoVision! Pepper II was the best arcade conversion. Donkey Kong and Donkry Kong jr. We’re missing the last screens! It just did not have enough memory. The Atari 5200 was really an Atari 8bit computer in a console. They both had terrible controllers but they mad e 3rd party controllers for the ColecoVision and they made gold contact flex boards for the 5200 controllers. My favorite retro game console is the Atari 7800. I want too see all retro consoles have great fans like you!

I still have a working Colecovision. My favourite system of all time too.

Space Fury, Frenzy, Mr. Do, Ladybug, Super Cobra. These games are so addictive.

I love the list. However, where is lady bug? IMO it's one of the best games on colecovision. My father loved playing ladybug, carnival, venture and donkey kong. Thanks for the great memories.

1. Wargames 2. Matt patrol. 3. Star trek 4. Frenzy 5. Time pilot 6. Zaxon 7. Donkey kong 8. Subroc 9. Centipede 10. Cabbage patch kids

Is you coleco modded or was that video special effects?

I want one of the with the expansion to play Atari games. Being it a great system in many ways but being able to play the games with a Sega controller is killer.

nice list. I just would have liked to have seen Tutankham (the reason I bought a Colecovision).

I never had a Colecovision. Had an Intellivision but that was when I was incredibly young and have very fleeting memories of it. I missed out because these games genuinely impressed me. Good job, Connecticut Leather Company.

I played Time Pilot and Gorf until my hands were in agony when I had my Colecovision.

What? No Mr.Do?

Great list! The Colecovision is one of my favorite consoles. I would also have included Frenzy, Alcazar, and Gateway to Apahai on my list. The Colecovision also got the best home conversion of Galaxian.

Never played Coleco Popeye only arcade and 2600, looks great.

Had a friend back in the day that owned the Colecovision which was my only experience. Always wanted one. My fond memories were, Spy Hunter, Gorf, Rock 'n Rope, Artillery Duel, and Destructor with the steering wheel.

Will always have place in my heart for the colecovision, when I was kid my neighbour had one, quite a rare machine to see in wales UK

my top for colecovision was Time Pilot Subroc and Buck Rogers and the Planet Zoom

Lady bug dude & I played lady bug in the arcade back in the day

I'm in the market for a Colecovision. Owned one as a kid... Do you still use the original controllers or are there better options today? Thanks!

2:21 25. Pitfall! (Activision) 3:11 24. River Raid (Activision) 3:41 23. Popeye (Nintendo) 6:50 20. Zaxxon (Sega) 11:46 16. Frogger (Konami) 15:07 13. Turbo (Sega) 23:50 6. Donkey Kong Jr (Nintendo) 24:59 5. Donkey Kong (Nintendo) 26:04 4. Gorf (Midway) 31:12 1. Burgertime (Data East)

Glad you had Q*Bert, Popeye, and Donkey Kong Jr. on your list but among my top three are Miner 2049er and Fathom. Miner for game play and 11 (!) different screens. Fathom for game play and stunning graphics. Also, Jungle Hunt is better than Tarzan

Loved Popeye also at the arcade too played it alot as much as Ms. pacman and Galaga or Donkey Kong I loked the C64 version better but this version Popeye was white colored I hated it but it did have Swee Pea on the se and stage rhe C64 didnt

Pepper the 2nd not pepper 2 mystery solved😊

lady bug and mousetrap were good games as well

@27:51 I never like the Smurf game. For me the best part was impaling the Smurf on the picket fence!

How is Time Pilot not on the list?

How on earth that Mouse Trap not on your top 25 that is one of the best pacman clones for Colecovision games. 😑

25:15 Love how the barrels conveniently roll off the edge of the screen as soon as they can, presumably to reduce the total number of sprites on the screen at any one time😂

Miner 20 49er best ever, stampede, all the activision were best

Great list, although no Frenzy on the list is criminal. Fellow Coleco players, I have a question about Carnival. Does anyone remember the Easter egg when you shot BONUS backwards or is it just my imagination?

Mr. Do, Lady Bug, Montezuma’s Revenge, Spy Hunter, and Bump ‘n’ Jump all need to be on that list. Lose Smurf, Venture, Gorf.

Are there no autofire solutions for the coleco? Like a nice 3rd party joystick with autofire functionality? Or even just any joypad with autofire?

No Centipede. Major oversight compared to some of the brainless games you picked.

Im not sure if it was called adventure or venture but it was a horizonal space shooter. You had bombs and lazers.

I own a colecovision as I did as a kid and I love these games, they blow Atari away! My all time favorites is space panic, DK Junior and mouse trap ❤️ And I own Smurfs and have nostalgic memories of this game as I played it all the time as a kid!

Surprised hero didn’t make it. It was my favorite

Wing of War 3d world? Wait, wait, wait so the game where you're saving 6 miners (no more) has you leaving the planet right? What happens to the miners? Do you jettison them out in space?

There's so many games that never got sequels to represent their next generation.

no Slither, no Looping, Mr. Do, Ladybug, Chuck Norris/Artillery Dual? i would put all of these over burger time. Burger time? really?

No Spy Hunter?
