ColecoVision Order sheets from 1982

So I helped a friend of mine test all his older systems tonight, hooked them to a Samsung 25 inch tube tv and a samsung 62" LCD tv.

 

Spent the night popping in random carts and tested an Atari VCS, Intellivision, and 2 ColecoVisions. One of the ColecoVisions will need some of the common repairs, the other that we pulled from it's original box was in perfect condition. It was a system one of his friends had for about a year before putting it away in a closet and moving on to the NES. 15 or so years later it was passed on to my friend.

 

Inside that box were these wholesale order sheets from 1982. According to my friend, one of his childhood friend's father had a company that could order ColecoVisons and games at cost.

 

 

I love the lack of area codes in the phone numbers.

Note the line referring to the "Conversion Module for Intellivision Cartridges (Jan./83)"

Also the phantom unreleased games like "Ripcord"

Tunnels and trolls, suggested retail of $70.00 Canadian!

Thanks for sharing!

 

Yeah, that "special adaptive controllers for TnT" listing is an odd one indeed, but seeing as the Speed Roller might have still been a part of the CV Hand Controller at this time (the list shows May 1982) and the Head-to-Head sports games are listed (they were to use the standard CV Hand Controller), I doubt it was anything on the lines of the Super Action Controllers.

 

Maybe the Sensory Grip controller that was dropped and then probably morphed into the SAC?

I'm always appalled to see the prices of new games in the 1980s. The old Sears Wish Books are still amazing to me, because of the time I spent staring at them as a kid, unable to attain or even try so many of these games that are so available nowadays. This is also why I was a dollar-game hoarder when the crash came.
