Coleco Head to Head Video Game System
 



Bought new from Walmart. Pretty sure these aren't original Colecovision games, so it's using the name Coleco only as a selling point.

I guess Coleco was never really known for its exclusives (though it seemed to have the best looking versions of games at the time).   'Car Racing' looks rad though.

Is this different from the Coleco Vision?

Yea, Colecovision was superior to the Atari 2600.  It had a full version of Donkey Kong that it came with which was a huge hit.  Unfortunately for Coleco, the system came out just before the video game crash and it couldn't survive, but there were some great games for it.  It did a much better job of playing arcade titles that were more true to how they were.  The controllers were pretty shitty though.  It was a high end system and was probably the most powerful of its time.  With the exception of "maybe" the Atari 5200, but the 5200 had terrible joysticks which ruined any hope they had of selling more than 10 of them.

Well if you like the Rangers, their AHL team "The Hartford Wolf Pack" crushed the Monsters yesterday.

Go Rangers

Only by one point - and Ottawa has more losses. They're doing worse than the Maple Leafs! That's shameful!

Kevin J Baird At:10:45 PM

Ottawa is doing better than Colorado though, so don't feel too bad.

Lard At:10:32 PM

I'm embarassed to be an Ottawa fan. They are sucking hard.

Kevin J Baird At:10:31 PM

Well cool, but I can't think of a hockey question right now either.

Lard At:10:29 PM

I watch hockey! NFL sucks balls!

I can't wait to hear this episode. Sounds pretty funny.

Lard At:10:22 PM

Lots of highlights from this show for next year!
