bluejay Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The Expansion Module 1 for the Colecovision was supposed to be a reason to buy a CV instead of a 2600, or is it? Are there any games that does not work properly or at all on the EM1? For example, Space Shuttle: A Journey Into Space requires the Atari's switches in order to control the spaceship. Will it work just fine on the EM1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Regarding Space Shuttle, you could say the same thing about Atari consoles with the difficulty switches in the back. The coleco module has all the switches in front. I think there are some third party cartridges that didn't physically fit the coleco module. They made a cartridge extender for that. You couldn't play paddle games without paddle controllers. I think this was made to help convince Atari 2600 owners to upgrade to colecovision. It also let Coleco claim to have the largest video game library. If you were looking for a system for Christmas 1982 why get a 2600 when for a few dollars more you could get a colecovision. A year later you could buy a 2600 for the same price as the coleco module and you get joysticks and paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
