Will games labeled for Adam work on my CV console?

It would help if you were more specific. Which Adam games are you talking about?

[Tempest]

Yes. Anything labeled Colecovision/ADAM (which I assume is what I meant) will work on the Colecovision. There were no ADAM only carts, only tapes and disks.

Tempest-- wasn't the Adam Diagnostic cart "Adam Only"? Also things like the Trisyd Digitizer? And from what I'm gathering, while not quite there yet, sounds like Steve (Atarimax) is getting pretty close to making it possible to make an "adam Only" cart with his new CF cart that can possibly be used as a Ram Disk.

 

But I do agree that the vast majority of items on cart or actually ColecoVision titles (that are still compatible with Adam), not the other way around.

There were a number of cartridges made that were ADAM specific, some of which you mentioned:

 

- ADAM Diagnostic

- Dynomite Sound Digitizer with or without SmartClock Chip

- Coleco Graphics Processor (aka: Project Name By Line)

- SmartDSK

- ADAM's Desktop

 

and also back in the day Walters Software Co. provided a service to transfer ADAM programs that were 32K or smaller onto a cartridge for immediate loading on the ADAM after pressing the cartrdige reset switch.

Well I didn't want to go there, but yes you're right. However there are no official ADAM only carts released to the public (unless you count the the diagnostic and LBN carts). I seriously doubt those are what he's talking about though.
