I would also like to get one. If it isn't too late.

Here's a Youtube video I made of saving and loading a document made with Fileform. The file is 1549 bytes (47 lines) and takes 31 seconds to save or load.

I've got a Ko-Rec-Type printer ribbon cartridge for the Coleco Adam. This was in an eBay Canada auction several years ago. I've never seen another one like it.

Good find! I wonder if an error similar to that happened when Atarisoft programmed Defender. Defender only works right on a CV with standard controllers. If you use anything else the controls are messed up. That includes connecting a Roller Controller, Super Action controller, 3rd party controller, or Expansion Module #3 ADAM (or standalone ADAM).

Blackhawks and Rangers

Great work Milli Vee! I was using the 64mb Smart Basic image over the weekend and I was able to copy 4 Colecovision game files to it and play them using the 'brun' command.

Wow! Coleco planned over 170 software titles for the ADAM according to the above posts "Coleco Introduces ADAM Software Lines" press release. I think only about 35 or so titles were ever finished.

Can Can has added some vintage arcade machines. They've had vintage pinball machines since they opened in Jan. 2017 but the arcades are new (Aug. 2018). Sea Wolf (1976 Midway) LeMans (1976 Atari)

River Raid (Game 7) - 6,520 Super Cross Force (Game 3 Parallel 2) - 21,500

Kaboom! (wide) - 2,879 Played using the Roller Controller and an Adam. Awesome control using the Roller Controller! I tried first with the standard controller and only had a best of 559. First time playing the CV version.

Here's a PDF of one of the possible solutions for completing the game. 2010_Text_Adventure-Solution.PDF

This game was being discussed on the Coleco Adam public facebook page. I'm not on facebook so I'm posting this here. 2010 The Text Adventure comes with a saved game that is only a couple of moves from the ending. There is a "Mission Accomplished" message and an awesome graphics display with music. However, this saved game only works if you are using Tape Drive #1. If you try to retrieve the saved game from Tape Drive #2 or a Disk Drive, they programmed it so it plays the music to the song 'Here we go into the wild blue yonder'. Easter Egg Ending Saved game starts at 1:35 of the video. Graphics/music start at 2:09

Here's a video on Youtube of Arnold Greenberg, CEO of Coleco from the 1960s to 1980s. He spends a lot of time talking about the Cabbage Patch Kids. They start talking about the ADAM at 15:20.

There was Monkey Academy for the Colecovision. (also for MSX and Philips VG 5000). It was a Mario Bros. like platformer where you had to solve various math problems.

My vote for best is Evolution for the Colecovision, Apple Ii, C64, and PC booter. In one stage, you get to play as a gorilla throwing coconuts at monkeys to protect your supply of oranges. Can't beat that!

Defender - 508,100

Thanks! I've played this game occasionally on my old Tandy 1000 SL.

You still had smart bombs left when the game ended. You could have gotten a lot more points.

ADAM Jeopardy Manual Here's a PDF of the Jeopardy manual. In 13 years of collecting, I had never seen this on the internet or anywhere until a few days ago when it showed up in an ebay auction. Jeopardy was finished but never released by Coleco. The software has been in the public domain for 30+ years but not the manual. ADAM_Jeopardy_Manual_(PDF).PDF

Defender - 205,000 Frenzy (Skill 4) - 8,468

Frogger (fast) - 11,880 Space Fury (skill 4) - 29.110

The sound at 7:04 sounds like it could be PC speaker but at 8:18 and 9:12 it definitely sounds like it's from a sound card.
