Doublevision (Part 2) ColecoVision - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ย. 2009
- In part 2 of 2, the Nerd reviews the ColecoVision and plays the games that were made for this console, including Montezuma's Revenge, Cabbage Patch Kids: Adventures in the Park, Chuck Norris Superkicks, and War Room. This is Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 45.
The console was released in August of 1982 and offered some of the best looking console versions of arcade games that had been seen at the time. One of which was a deal with Nintendo to have Donkey Kong as its "in box" title. The console has a library of over 145 games and by Christmas of 1982 had sold over 500,000 units.
With the video game crash in 1983, however, the sales in the industry dropped dramatically not being able to recover from the market crash. Even with sales in upwards of 2 million consoles in its lifespan, the Colecovision was officially discontinued in 1985.

Easily one of my favorite "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?" Moments
Is this necessary
Same dude
@@liammcallister726 but seriously who the fuck made that AC adapter? Is the person compensating it for something?
@@deathglock496 I get having the box of the adapter be sized enough for 1 plug but come on really
0.42 seconds into the video is where my custom ringtone begins... Still one of my better AVGN thirty second sound bites.
"There would be lawsuits up the ass" I don't want to take the time to read all 7,300 comments and i am not sure if this has been pointed out so here it is: Atari did pursue legal action against them for this add on and for the Atari 2600 clone Coleco made... the problem is that anyone with a little electronics knowledge and woodworking skill could make an Atari clone at home using stock electronics parts. Since nothing in the electronics was actually proprietary the judge threw out the cases.
thanks random law knowing guy.
hence the proliferation of startup code like bios and boot roms in every computer and console from then on that could be copyrighted
the times really have changed have they
talk about an ultimate fuck you
Atari: "You can't do that, it's illegal!"
Cletus: "Hold my beer, I'm going to Radio Shack."
That intro ranks among the AVGN's best. The lead-in and payoff is just perfect.
I remember Ronald reagon I was born may 3 1985
@@unknownwolf4046 Um that's cool I guess
“You’re a weird eyeball with legs”
So.... Mike Wazowski?
OMFG YES
“I’m in the video!”
but the mans got arms
"MIKE WAZOWSKI!"
I said it once and I say it twice: that Doublevision cover is one of Kyle's best songs.
It was a cover? That's fortunate, because the song is pretty bad.
'It's time I had a good time, ain't got time to waste...'
Ain't got time to lyrics either apparently... >__>
CaitSeith That moment when you realise Kyle Justin's cover is a lot better than the original version. And yes, it kicks ass.
planescaped It's a cover of Foreigner - Double Vision
+planescaped The lyric is actually "It's time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait." and Double vision is a great song, and Foreigner is a great band. Otherwise I don't think these guys would have named an episode after it lol. Well obviously the song is named after the disorder, and this episode could be named after the disorder... But the song is there so yeah lol.
+planescaped
If it's time he had a good time, then he doesn't want to waste any more.
"There would be lawsuits up the ass"
There actually was a lawsuit over Coleco's expansion module! Atari took them to court and Coleco countersued for $500M (this was the 80s btw, $500M could probably buy you half of Africa). The result of the suits was that Coleco ended up paying royalties to Atari over the expansion module. Probably the strangest outcome of all of this was that Atari and Coleco actually agreed to RELEASE CERTAIN GAMES ONLY FOR THE OTHER COMPANY'S SYSTEM! That's the mindfuck for me. Could you imagine Sony and Microsoft developing games for each other, let alone developing a game that would only play on the competitor's system? Fucking lol. To add insult to injury, Atari made pretty great games for Coleco but Coleco basically released dogshit for the Atari. Coleco was really a company run by complete dickheads.
Also it's interesting that the distributor for Colecovisions was CBS, as in the news network.
Chris Jenkins I can't think of why, but of how? well...
Chris Jenkins It was the 80's-cocaine was probably involved.
Daniel Ryan Thus, the war on drugs, and why the idiots in power refuse to let us use marijuana.
gurvmlk
>Sony
>Mario movie
Haha, Mario's getting the shitty movie treatment. :P
PupdudePwns There was already a mario bros. movie back in the early 90s and it was shit.
Absolutely wild that Coleco would just straight up release an expansion to their console that just plays their competitor’s games, it’s one of those batshit nonsense moments that makes the early days of gaming so fascinating to research
I totally see how that's outlandish for a console.. but in a sense, and with a stretch, it's sort of similar to Microsoft having its own game studio but also letting competing studios' games run on Windows.
you weren’t there for it
That's one of my favourite AVGN introductions. The AC adapter is HUUUUUGE!!
And it's full of stars!
comically large ac adapter
"What's that? A metamorphic stone rising from the blackness and negative Earth? A towering behemoth of monstrosity brought down by extraterrestrial powers? Or a giant monolith of death, hell-bent on the annihilation of humankind, time, and all matter? No, it's the AC adapter for a ColecoVision."
Look, I can't fit this god forsaken piece of shit in the electrical outlet! Unless there's nothing next to it!!
+Master Xehanort Anyway, the Colecovision was released in 1982. Like the Intellivision, it had the same stupid ass keypad, but with a joystick.
+Master Xehanort It's basically like another Pitfall game but with a random layout. Why would I swing on the vines when i can hop on the lillypad instead?
Dr. Seuss's Fix Up the Mix-up Puzzler. It's a puzzle game where you put together different Dr. Seuss characters. Yeah, that's about as much as I can say about that.Mike N Ike
+Master Xehanort Next is Looping, here we go! Oh, let's try again! Oh man, that pilot's drunk as shit! oh i gotta get through the wall, here we go. Ok. Maybe i gotta go over it, i guess not. Oh oh, let's try again. Oh man, what am i supposed to do? FUCK! Oh, i know i got to shoot through it...
"WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING!?"
LMAO! Gets me every time.
FresnoCA93727 One of the best ones
+FresnoCA93727 I had a few Colecovisions, and those power adapters are heavy too. (For being made for a video game system.)
+FresnoCA93727 0:38 dam, its so heavy that he even grunts, unlike the atari 5200 version, there should be a warning saying not to drop it on your foot.
The 32x and swich are nothing compare to that
i thought the switch ac adapter was absurd but it’s usable compared to this massive beast ;-;
James hates the fuck out of those a.c. adapters 😂
Having owned a Colecovision I can attest that yes, those A/C adapters in particular are the largest I've ever seen for a home console. - Someone who used to collect video games
Austin Lucas ,
who doesn't? haha
If you hate them then just bypass them. I heard AC helped prolong your game systems anyway unlike that outdated DC electricity. AC is a smooth sine wave unlike DC which is a rough square wave and thus harder on the components in your consoles.
Gregory Smith
After playing nothing but Atari games, Montezuma's Revenge had so much atmosphere and depth it was mind-blowing. At least to my pre-kindergarten mind it was. I was only four at the time and loved it so much that my memory of the game to this day is of a game with better graphics than NES Mario.
too bad the games physics were a bit crappy, especially compared to Mario, but its still a good game.
It was also released on the Atari 2600.
4:51 That face expression is pure gold.
And then the fishmouth he does after he pulls out the cartridge.
It's absolutely timeless
I agree, shoelaces are bullshit.
Rebekah Smith You know what's BUUUUUUUULSHIT!?
FUCK SHOELACES
gurvmlk DITTO THAT FOR SMG115
soyou would rather wear velcro and get made fun of (unless u stand up for ur self)
@@gurvmlk I dunno what they're called but the shows you put on that are kind of like sneakers or tennis shoes, but no laces. Loafers maybe ? Anyway I like those lace-less type shoes. I get them at Walmart.
That moment you say "I'm going to watch just ONE AVGN episode" then you watch ten.
EDIT: holy shit i genuinely didn’t even know about this comment, thanks for the positive replies everyone!
ken weird, I usually end up watching them all lol.
Welcome to the club, pal, i'm the founder
ken Yup. I know that feeling
That's literally me right now. I could be writing for wattpad, or drawing for Instagram, or doing something productive with my life. But I'm watching AVGN non stop instead because he's funny :3

"Nggh... hmph! What the FUCK were they thinking!?"
This is still the best intro of any AVGN video ever.
Playing Atari 2600 games, with a colecovision, with a genesis controller, with an emulator
Furry Where the hell does the emulator fit in?
Connects it up your ASS!
Calm down there buddy! Lol
in the matrix.
My guess is hardware emulation via secondhand parts.
Damn I would love to see a "what the fuck were they thinking?" montage.
lilturk726 haha yeah, but really... WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?
+lilturk726 It has been done, just type in ''AVGN what were they thinking'' into TH-cam, and there you go. :)

You're a lord. I had to replay that shit like 5 times!
wow second comment on a video? cooooooooooooooool
This is my favourite AVGN video of all time. I re-watch it every now and then for that intro alone, and the rest is gold.
march 2020. i'm watching this to forget about corona virus. still fun to watch
thanks for reminding me about the chinese flu, and to return the favor, now after 5 months, I'm gonna remind you back.
@@llVIU They (the government) want to prevent people from leaving home in Spain and going outside. Let's party like it's 1942!
You sure it's not to forget that Tommy is trying to bring back the Intelevision?
November 2020. i'm watching this to forget about corona virus. still fun to watch
@@mikshinee87 no
You could kill someone with that ac adaptor. o_o
use it as a whip, with a huge weight at the end.
Troll4ever31 ._. u mean a wrecking ball, i mean wrecking cube
Hellzboy I came in like an AAAA-DAPTOOOORRR!
Samaugsch use it as a mace
Samaugsch I had a few Colecovision systems, the adapter was pretty weighty.
Who came up with the idea of the AC Adapter? Who thought a plug should be a big ass brick?
My guess is they must've been on some Blow too much.
+Kelly Chuang no the drugs called fuck it all lolol
(o-o)/ me jk not me
+ShakeFan14 It's actually not that stupid if you're aware of what it is. The Colecovision doesn't have the power supply inside of it (probably to keep the system lighter, and perhaps reduce the amount of internal faults), so they kept it inside of the AC adapter. I kinda wish that they took the Xbox 360 approach though by separating all three components (the system, the power cable, and the power supply) to make it easier to use and less of a hog.
+SpeedySPCFan That explains a lot and given the limits of technology at the time. This was an era before XBox 360 after all.
6:40 "There would be lawsuits up the ass!" LOL
5:08 there is just something so funny about that line delivery. 'SLURPIN BAwLs'
Man, I really love Kyle's cover of Double Vision. He should release it as a single.
The 6th connects it *To Itself*.
Colecoception !!!
And then the Colecovision ascends simple 3-dimensional reality and is reborn as Coleco the Destroyer.
Jark Spore And then it spawns a 7th adapter that connects to your brain and takes over your mind
*H A I L C O L E C O*
AAAASSS!"!!
The 8th one conects it to a phone
I recently visited a store which had a ColecoVision controller, and Nerd... you were right about the joystick; it was way too stiff.
The robin hood sun reminds me of the teletubbies sun.
Be careful, you don't want to get caught in orbit of the AC adapter.
And dont put ur shoes before ur pants
@Curious Charisma **metrocop death sound**
1:26 "only a problem: THIS CONTROLLER IS FUCKIN' HORRIBLE!!" Rotf hahaa i love the way he said this
One of my favorite episodes. My son got me onto this show 15 years ago. I still love it. I had a coleco and it was great.
0:24 AFTER 7 YEARS LATER, I FINALLY GOT THE REFERENCE OF THAT SHOT, WOW I HATE ME
Better late than never
I come to video every so often just for the first one minute, and it cracks me up every time. James was always at his best when we was legitimately upset about something. Which he doesn't seem to be so much anymore. Success has reduced his true anger.
4:35 the ancestor of Flappy Bird.
Disappointed Turtle it's more like that Loopin' Louie board game.
Thats true
not enough builds 9/11
More like 9/11 The Game
I think u have to shoot that balon to open this door
6:23 I'm happy to see that we are slowly getting there now.
Kyle Justin is so talented.
"No, but we do have a Coleco Vision hooked up to our black and white TV." - Stuart McCormick (Kenny's dad)
That was South Park "Chickenpox", it's our favorite episode.
0:42 my reaction to Sonic 2006 and to the Sega/Nintendo partnership.
Terminate all brick plugs
Terminate Sonic 06
Terminate LJN
This Duology is my dad's favorite episodes of the AVGN and he's 70 years old.
This is nice coming back to rewatch James's old videos again after a long time.
One of the best AVGN intros ever.
Who else is watching these old videos to see if they can remember the quotes?
Angry Black Guy: Hey! You still don't have a Celecovision?
Atari gamer: Huh?
Angry Black Guy: What are you waiting for? Atari to make one?
Atari gamer: lol.
Angry Black Guy: You have seen the games right?
Atari gamer: uhhh
Angry Black Guy: Wrong answer man. Show 'em!
Atari gamer: Whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Angry Black Guy: Wanna see more?
Your vision is our vision. Celecovision.
Just goin around, Slurpin Balls
Sanic Youth
Coleco is what Atarisn't.
odoyoudo get it good one 😝
odoyoudo that was great. xD
Sanic Youth Wow it looks like you get to play the games for your vision watch the graphics that are ahead of their time
"A game about he presidential campaign. Probably the worst fucking concept for a video game"
...until the 2016 election, which appears to be based on this game!
I wonder how Vermin Supreme is doing this year, do you?
Bloodbath and Beyond have you heard of campaign clicker it's basically cookie clicker and well what's happening ( sometimes, a bit of a mess...kinda)
Jesus Christ, people are so narrow-minded these days. I am claiming to be any better? No.
***** Let me know when my account is finally terminated. Thanks!
Cthulhu is better.
6:54 always has me bursting into tears full of laughter! xD
Its a shame the Colecovision died during the crash of 83'. It was a good console and worthy of a successor.
What?! It died in 1983? The atari 5200 was also from 1982 but killed in 1984. What the shit
@Angus Scrimm It was a carpal tunnel lawsuit waiting to happen for sure, but yes, best games you could get at the time.
Aleks Aleks it has a spiritual successor: the msx computers........just look at the internals and be suprised.
The ColecoVision was a fucking amazing console for it's time. I think it was the best system ever made when you compare it to it's competition. It was the shit. Just compare the arcade versions to the ColecoVision versions to the 2600 versions. ColecoVision was Amazing.
@@onestopfunstop317 Indeed. Comparing the Colecovision to the 2600 is like comparing Cromagnon man to the Sistine chapel. They really deserved to succeed but they did not.
4:33 I duno why but that game is one funniest reviews for me xD
That's not an AC adapter. It's a ball and chain.
Kyle Justin's "Double Vision" is my favorite version of the song!
By Foreigner, of course!
!!
2:49 shoe laces flash for a second
1/25th of a second
I was trying to figure out what it was
0:40 come see the worlds strongest man
IS THIS NECESSARY!!!
It’s amazing seeing how these videos never get old 😂
The colecovision actually had some nice graphics for its time.
My cousins had a Caleco while we had the Atari. The good old days when you went to friends houses and got to play entirely different games cuz you couldn't afford more than 1 console
That expression at 6:11 is so perfect. Could be the Nerd's avatar.
By far one of my favorite Avgn intros and favorite episodes
Now we are able to play from NES to Gamecube and PS1/2 on Xbox Series X. What a time to be alive.
The way he says, "FUCK!!!!!!!!" @ 04:44 makes me lmfao!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the beginning is just priceless
"Uff... Uff... Uff... WHAT THE FUCK WHERE THEY THINKIN?!?!?!"
5:15 Tmw you realize Slurpy is fighting the Nazi's.
The intro just killed me ahahahahaha
1:08 10 years later he predicted the Joy con drift on the nintendo switch
After so many years of watching your videos you still make me laugh, thanks AVGN.
10 years in the future I'm stuck in a loop watching these videos.
You're just going around, slurping balls~AVGN
Best quote ever
5:10 So, it's the video game version of Mr.Bucket.
That's what I thought lol
+FBproductions7 I've been on this channel for way too long.
+Noodle Noodz "...As oppose ...to BALLS."
+SpeedyEric1 Lol
3:18 It takes a lot of guts to say about Chuck Norris "The attacks are completely ineffective". Unless you are Bruce Lee.
That's not the actual Chuck they had to use only a fraction of his power because not even the colleco could handle his full potential
5:35 Damn right before he touched the grass.
7:04 I really love this track! Well done Kyle!
It is a cover of an older song of the same name
Evan E Wow, I didn't know that! Do you know the name of the song? Thanks!
char Mario Double Vision by Foreigner
This was pretty great! I really loved Kyle singing Doublevision.
6:10 such a underrated moment
9 years later and I can't tell how many times I've watched every episode lol
i got the 5h expansion and it feeels gooood!
@2:25 - I used to go to the Radio Shack store to play that Cabbage Patch game and the Smurf game - it looked incredible back then.
The best intro EVER. I forgot just how huge those adapters were. I remember when I trip over the cable that plugged to the wall. It made this loud thud when it the ground. Ah memories!
6:28 That's live Nintendo saying "We're coming out with a new Service for the Switch. You're gonna be able to play Xbox games on it!"
Damn, how'd you come up with that line? almost like its identical to the line in the video.
L I V E
Here for AVGN, stayed because of the Foreigner homage
Ancient Inscription on the AC adapter for ColecoVision: Whosoever holds this adapter, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of the Nerd.
1:52 - I can barely hear the wolf whistle.
rewatching the whole series in 2024, oldest to newest. this has been the funniest so far.
I bet I asked that already, but is there anywhere a complet version of this awesome foreigner cover? Sounds so rad!.
That intro is by far my favorite 😂
The opening of this video is my favorite AVGN moment ever
3:32 AYY LMAO
Nintendo needs an expansion module for the switch where you can play wii u games and use the wii u controllers
I'm assuming that just the Bluetooth is necessary for the Pro controller.
If you wanna play wii u games just keep your wii u and dont buy a switch
True. Let us use Wii U gamepad in switch. But hey, at least the Wii U had a good game lineup worth keeping the system for. I still have 3 Wii U’s
Nah, they had a smarter idea: port/make a sequel to almost every exclusive to the Switch so that: a) Wii u would fall out of relevancy completely; b) stupid nintentoddlers will throw them even more money for the games they already had
They were nice enough to add backwards compatability to the Wii U
Anyone else notice the editing screw up at 2:47?
Microfrog no, sir, I did not; frame-by frame shows an quick extra-shot of shoes/laces at 2:49/2:50
Yup. a picture of a shoe for a frame.
I did
What about those words? Hoes
Microfrog There's another one at 5:21.
Part 1 and 2 of this is my all time favorite AVGN episodes.
Chuck Norris: Sees Chuck Norris game
Chuck Norris: _Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of our power_
0:55 The Official Nintendo Switch AC adapter is, unfortunately, the same. However, there exist third-party adapters that are as small as your phone charger (and it can replace your dock too!)
xbox and playstation don't need an expansion module, BECAUSE BOTH HAVE THE SAME LIBRARY OF GAMES AND VERY FEW EXCUSIVITIES.
***** That's what I said.
I hate when people are like the ps4 is better than the Xbox one THERE THE SAME FUCKING THING
+Peter Griffin Exactly. I have owned both but currently just have the PS4 but yeah, a few exclusives here and there but they are the same
+Trixxi Micey PC forever
+Peter Griffin hey i found u dance the surfin bird
Amazing how far we've come in console and computer gaming technology since the 80s.
That campaign ‘84 segment is the funniest part. Cracks me up
WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?!
Cracks me up every time :D
When he descripts the AC adapter for the Colecovision, I laugh so hard, that I couldn't breathe xD "What a f*ckin' hog!" x'DD * laughs himself to tears *
4:30 xDDD "The pilot's dunk as sh*t!" X'D
needs more praise for the amazing songs made for specific episodes
I cracked up at ..... "You were seen putting on your shoes before putting on your pants."
i love the reference to 2001:A Space Odyssey :D
I bet the Colecovision joystick is stiffer than Michael Jackson in a Chuck E Cheese.
I mean, he’s probably stiff anywhere, since he’s dead. But probably stiffer in colder climates.
I like how the sound effects for Montezuma's Revenge are parts of "La cucaracha" song
Thats what i been saying
The opening is pure gold
