1985 Parker Brothers catalog for the ColecoVision/ADAM and other systems

Back in 1985 Parker Brothers sent me a nice full page color catalog in the mail with the videogames that they offered for the ColecoVision/ADAM system plus other video game systems and personal computer systems. This catalog was scanned at 48-bit color and with a resolution of 1200dpi to offer very little lose in quality. Parker Brothers was planning to release Circus Charlie for the ColecoVision, Atari 2600, and Commodore 64, but for some reason the game was canceled at the last minute. On page 6 and 7 of the catalog one can see the game retail display boxes for all 3 systems plus 3 separate ColecoVision screen shots showing the graphics quality of the game that was never released. This catalog is very detailed. On page 15 one can see the poor graphics quality of Q*bert for the Atari 2600. The Intellivision version of Q*bert has a little better graphics then the Atari 2600. The ColecoVision version appears to be the best version of Q*bert. However I have never played the Atari 5200 version yet or the Commodore 64 version of Q*bert (They appear to be very close to the ColecoVision version).

The price list is 1985, however the catalog they sent me in 1985 appears to have been made in 1984 according to the small print on page 24.

 

Attached is a price list from early 1985 with original list prices. Plus "Q*bert Cubes" is listed as a ColecoVision cartridge
