Coleco Industries Contacts 1982

[Ikrananka]

On the theme of Youki's search for names and address's for Nice Ideas, I thought I would post the contacts list from the back of the "Coleco 1932 to 1982" booklet that I picked up from eBay recently. I haven't seen such a comprehensive list anywhere else. It is a fascinating snapshot of Coleco in 1982. It also includes the Coleco (Canada) management names and office addresses.

 

Apologies for the poor quality image - I am experimenting with book scanning techniques - this one is obviously not very successful!!

 

The rest of the booklet will be scanned and then provided to retroillucid for inclusion on his upcoming Coleco website.

You rocks Andrew!

So great piece of paper here!

 

The Museum website is going great! I think we should be able to put it online soon, I'm thinking of this summer indeed

I remember seeing an article about Coleco Canada in a newspaper scan with an interview of Brian Clarke mentionned in the scan posted here. In the article, he said something like he doesn't understand why only a very few US companies develop as well in Canada like they do. I was searching back for the article and I wasn't able to find it. Maybe when I will not look for it, I will find it back.

This is really neat. Growing up--being a kid--it was always a marvel to see these incredible works of art (8-bit video games) with all their splendid packaging and concept/renditions in the form of box art. I always wondered: who is on the other end? Who are the programmers/artists/producers that create these games? Who distributes them? How does the company run? It's neat to see such a list as this and to imagine how these people came together to create games, ROMs, packages, and video game systems! Still seems so way ahead of its time.

It's interesting to note how many manufacturing facilities Coleco had. I wonder how long they stuck with US manufacturing? My old Telstar was made in USA but I can't remember if the Colecovision was. I'm pretty sure that some of the Cabbage Patch dolls were made in USA.
