Video: ColecoVision - The PS3 of 1982

July 15, 2008

Memories….
Digg Commenter theBlooms:
While it’s power was equivalent to be that of the PS3 over it’s rivals (blowing the Atari VCS and Intellivision out of the water in addition to besting the Atari 5200), the ColecoVision IIRC was actually available, and it sure as hell didn’t cost $700. The major problem they had was with the ADAM released in 1983. I still actually have the ColecoVision in the basement, but I haven’t had it hooked up since High School more than 15 years ago. I think it still works, I don’t really know. ColecoVision RULED.

The ADAM was the unit that had both the availability and survivability problems. I actually HAD an ADAM, but it died less than 30 days after I got it, and we had to take it back to Sears. I was heartbroken. That I guess was technically my first PC. We took it back and got an Amstrad with a GIGANTIC 256k of memory! Now I wasn’t heartbroken anymore! Remember, we are talking ‘84 here. 256k of memory in a PC was pretty smokin’!

The biggest threat to America today is not communism; it’s moving America towards a fascist theocracy and everything that has happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe.
