Wow! I had a lot of these games including the steering wheel for Turbo and the special controllers for Baseball and Rocky. I later got the Adam computer that plugged into the expansion module. Years later, my dad asked if I wanted them and I said no. I regret that decision to this day 😣. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It brought back a lot of great memories 😊
@@johneygd Unfortunately, he got rid of them. Either they went into the trash or, Goodwill. I had the original boxes too for most of the stuff. I still have the BASIC and Buck Rogers tapes though but yeah, stupid decision on my part.
Great video. Sooo many perfect arcade ports. One of the greatest systems of its time and def crushed the Atari which made me all the more jealous for not owning one. Edit #45 should be H.E.R.O which is a fantastic game. The graphics looks great on this version.
Ooo. Good question: I think this video contains most of them. However, it gets confusing because there are quite a few home-brew titles that were released after the console officially died. I'm going to guess ... ballpark ... 125?

In 1983 I bought the Atari 5200 primarily for Pole Position. I always wondered if should have bought Colecovision instead. To be honest, I'm not liking most of what I'm seeing here. The TI99/4A's graphics chips are very apparent.
Looking for the name of a game. It's a thin man who keeps descending underground through tunnels and encounters stuff that can kill him along the way. I think he can run and jump and he digs through tunnels and can pick up weapons along the way as well. It might be on Colecovision, not NES, but I used to love playing it. Anyone know the name?
Atari had a game called Journey Escape, where you’re trying to protect the band Journey from reporters & paparazzi photographers. You dodge the reporters/photographers & eventually hop on a golden spaceship, I think? The music in the background is “Don’t Stop Believin.” My 8 year old self had never heard of the band Journey, & I remember being blown away when I heard it on the radio for the first time......”Mom!!! The guys on the radio are singing the Atari song!” thinking that the band took the song from the game & not the other way around, lol! Many years later, the first time my nephew heard the song, it was on that god awful show, “Glee.” And he had the same experience when I played Don’t Stop Believin on the radio in my car........he was like, “Why is that song from Glee on the radio?” Sigh.
The one where you manage a rock band is called It's Only Rock & Roll, you make decisions using the number pad on the controller. More fun than it sounds!

Hopefully your father did not throw that colecovision and games to trash,did he?

If the joystick hadn't been such an awkward mess, I might've played these games.
I wanna go back to the 80’s so bad!!!
Having the same sound chip as the arcade version of Frogger sure made for a faithful home version audio-wise. :)

Omg! Venture and Wargames back to back!!! I played those so much !
Damn. I feel like I’m 12 years old again.
Question, how do you get the graphics so clean with a newer TV or computer?
I own a colecovision recently with many of my favorite games on it😁
Oh my gosh. Hearing "Venture" is like transporting me in time to 1984.
My dad was the first one to introduce me into video gaming. 1st console I've ever played: Atari 2600 🅰📺🎮👾 | 🕹👾
I never had one of these but I had a Ti-994a. The capabilities of the machines seem very similar
They have the same graphics HW.
Holy crap, did that bring back the memories, I think I actually played about 2/3 of those games!
Joust and Dig Dug were never officially released by Atari. They were released years later as homebrew games.
Although Colecovision was a great console. I still was happier having my c64 at the time.
If coleco wouldn't have tried to go into the PC market we could have a whole different gaming scenerio then we do today.
Super action football and baseball were awesome when playing against a friend
Anyone remember Campaign ‘84? I also had a Spider-Man game and a Strawberry Shortcake game
Colecovision was better then 5200!
This is like if a 5 year old drew video games up. The tech was so basic when i was a kid and we loved it.
Thanks for the video, Waoo! one question . How many games did Coleco have?
Ooo. Good question: I think this video contains most of them.
However, it gets confusing because there are quite a few home-brew titles that were released after the console officially died. I'm going to guess ... ballpark ... 125?
129 U.S. releases
1 U.S. very limited release
7 foreign/Canadian releases
9 TeleGames exclusive releases
22 prototype and unreleased games
116+ homebrew games

4.25 HERO
Wing War - when you want to be the pterodactyl from Joust.
45 is called HERO.
this system came out before I was born. I think my first console was the nes. I was playing it when everyone else was playing n64 and ps1.
i love all your vids
Hey, thanks! Glad you enjoy them. More coming!

It's not Activision's HERO is it?

awesome
Super action soccer and super action football are missing on this list
11 out of 100, lol. And I thought I was the big sh!t =)
when video games were video games; and not an interactive movie.
Ladybug still greater than Pacman.
Are some of these homebrews?
No. All original carts released in the 80s!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Super mam na strychu leżą
Very similiar than MSX
I know how old this video is, but you duplicated the word Gyruss as game #44 and #45.
Any Z80 games console is a Winner against a 6502.
Why? .. the colour pallet is so 2600 on any 6502 ...
Where is the Tarzan?
I loved Colecovision S a kid. Now I can say, the game sounds are truly the stuff of nightmares.
Tour welcome bro
wasn't their a game where you managed a rock band ?
Atari had a game called Journey Escape, where you’re trying to protect the band Journey from reporters & paparazzi photographers. You dodge the reporters/photographers & eventually hop on a golden spaceship, I think? The music in the background is “Don’t Stop Believin.” My 8 year old self had never heard of the band Journey, & I remember being blown away when I heard it on the radio for the first time......”Mom!!!

The one where you manage a rock band is called It's Only Rock & Roll, you make decisions using the number pad on the controller. More fun than it sounds!
i mean your sorry
Zaxxon was the best. Then Donkey Kong Jr.
